Yes, Vitamin E oil worked GREAT when i had scars from chicken pox and other cuts. Totally healed up with no visible marks.

Re: Vitamin E oil and scars
Never tried it, but Mederma works wonders for scars. Not sure how long you have to wait to start to use it, but its a great product. Its a little costly , around $25 for a 1oz tube, my dermatologist swears by it. Good luck!
