Our read on it
A caesarean is major abdominal surgery, the rate in Saudi Arabia is high, and yet scar care is usually missing from conversations about the postpartum weeks. This cream moisturises the skin around the area and eases the tightness and itching as the wound heals, and that itching is a genuine complaint in the weeks after. Read the safety note before using it, because the timing matters more here than the product does.
Pros
- Addresses a real need that most postpartum products ignore
- Moisturises and eases tightness and itching around the scar
- Plant-based ingredients
- From a brand that specialises in the postpartum period
Cons
- Only after the wound has fully closed and with your doctor's approval
- Expensive for a small 29.5ml tube
- It neither prevents nor removes a scar
Important safety information
Do not apply to an open or unhealed wound, or over existing stitches. Begin only after your doctor confirms the wound is fully closed. Patch test a small area first. See a doctor immediately for redness around the wound, swelling, local heat, discharge or fever, since these point to a wound infection that needs medical treatment, not a cream.
