What is the best scar cream that i can get to help fade the darkness of a surgical incision? any natural options that can help as well? thank you

Avoid sunlight.: Use zinc oxide to protect the scar from sunlight which will cause it to darken. Vit E capsules open and spread the liquid on the scar 2X/day for 3-4 months. Not scientifically proven but good anecdotal stories
