Is it more effective to use bio oil or vaseline for scars?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No clear difference: Several topical products claim to benefit scars. Onion extract gel and petrolatum (vaseline and aquaphor) may have a small beneficial effect and are equally effective. I am not aware of any studies comparing bio oil (mineral oil, fragrance, vitamins, retinoid) and vaseline. Silicone gel sheeting benefits keloid scars and the pulse-dye-laser helps a variety of scars when treated early (1-3 months).
