Medline Remedy Specialized Silicone Cream, Unscented (4 fl oz), Gentle Breathable Film for All Ages, Paraben-free and Hypoallergenic Skin Care, Barrier for Dry Cracked Skin

It’s been 2 months since I had my breast reduction. My surgeon told me to use silicone sheets. They’re expensive! The anchor reusable ones don’t fit well. They’re not the right size for your breasts, bc they are cookie cutter cut outs. I find they itch. With silicone tape you to cut the tape and it’s a whole ordeal. You can only use the tape once. It tends to peel off.With both methods, you are only addressing your scars.Medline Silicone Cream is 12.5% silicone/ Dimethocone. The biggest commercial brand PM, which is often recommended for breast reduction scars is only 2% Dimethocone.Medline has over 6 times more Dimethocone than this commercial brand! Medline is $9.99 for 4 ounces. The big commercial brand PM is $14.99 for 1 ounce 😱The other night I couldn’t find my Medline. I have glycerin and checked that it was good for scars. It is! I used it & it’s great. It’s an amazing consistency for massage. I now use glycerin on my my entire breasts first. Massage the scars and then massage a big dollop of Medline on top to seal it. This is the miracle I was looking for. I hope this helps other women with their breast reduction scars.For the price of Medline I can afford to use a bottle a week. Glycerin is dirt cheap. I paid $4 for 4 fluid ounces on Amazon, and you only need a small amount. I apply a dime size amount of glycerin to each breast. I find the glycerin start to gently almost melt the scar.Then I massage it into my entire breasts in a circular motion. Then I go along my scars with my pointer finger or several fingers and massage the scars in a circular motion. Then up and down across the scar to break up the scar tissue. This is a massage technique called cross fiber friction. I’m a professional massage therapist and this is how I was taught how to address scar tissue. This technique is good for any scar on the body. I apply the Medline liberally. I’m still In cotton post recovery front closure bras. They’ll absorb most of the cream. I massage the cream into my entire breasts in a circular motion. I do this twice a day.I believe this is a better solution because you are treating your entire breasts.Best of luck & prayers for those of you having and recovering from breast surgery. I hope this helps.

I have dry hands and they will peel. Using this has had a huge impact. My hands are no longer peeling. I put it on at night.

My legs are extremely dry and this keeps my legs and feet moist. I put it on after a shower Love the texture

thick coating and less need to reapply

Love the product. One of the best lotions I have used. I have very dry skin.

As a healthcare worker, hand washing is a must and therefore my hands are so dry. I use this every time I wash my hands and it keeps my skin barrier intact.

This is by far the strangest cream I've experienced. It's almost a paste it's so thick and stiff. When applied to the skin, it creates a moisture barrier which actually either repels moisture, or absorbs it. I'm just not sure which. Strange. I've only used it once so far as a test on my forearms as a test, where dryness and wrinkling is evident. After a few days the skin seems to have a slight improvement in appearance. But I'd say the true test will be right out if the shower when skin is hydrated, when an application will seal that moisture in, then a second application 8 - 10 hours later. Time will tell.

I used this product on a rash devopled on my neck and the rash went away in 2 days after use. Used it for other then intended per product.
