Is palmer's scar serum cocoa butter formula will help to reduce my newly formed (before 1 month)1 mm depth 3 mm width depressed scar?

Don't waste your $$: This tiny scar will improve with time. Depending on your age, the nature of the wound, and other factors, it may take up to a year for full maturation. Unless the scar becomes prominent and higher than the skin, no topical preparation is likely to do anything except empty your wallet.

Massage helps, but: The oil, grease, or "special" cocoa butter formula adds very little to the effects of time, natural scar maturation over 6-12 months, and continued ultraviolet avoidance. A "bad" scar can improve, but may need plastic surgical excision/revision to be the best. A "good" scar needs little but moisturizer and sunscreen to heal the best. Vitamin e oil with massage/sunscreen is just as good as psscbf!
