OCM - Do you have any recs for scar fading / evening skin tone?

I currently use OCM and have been doing quite well with it for a few months.  I use 1/3 castor and 1/3 olive oil and 1/3 coconut oil.

But I have remaining acne scars that I would like to fade.  Is there any essential oil or ingredient I can add to help aid this?

TIA

    I've been wanting to try this. My skin is normally dry. Would you recommend I use the same ratios you do or something else?

  • I use 1/2 caster and 1/2 olive and LOVE IT!  I stopped using it for a couple of months and my skin got very angry with me.  I went back and now it's clearing up like crazy.  It's amazing the difference when you give it time.

    Anyway, this is NOT EF but I just had surgery on my shoulder.  I also occasionally work as an actor and model so I need to reduce the scars as much as possible.  My doctor said Scar Zone really does work, and also said I can use it on my face.  I'm desperate to prevent scars so in this case I'm going half non-EF.  In the AM I'm using vitamin E and in the PM I use Scar Zone.  I just started yesterday so I can't report on the results yet.

  • I've been using avocado oil as my nightly moisturizer and LOVE it. I really feel like my acne scars have faded in the last 2 weeks that i've been using it...maybe it's my imagination, but it seems to be really helping!

    For dry skin, I'd say 1/4 to 1/3 castor oil and the rest a moisturizing oil (like olive oil, coconut oil, grapeseed, etc etc.)
