If you would like to find Calendula oil, look for a facial cleanser. That's actually where I found this one. But I also use it as a body wash. When I'll find more gems and I'll see that they are working, I'll share with the rest of the world.

Hi

The thing is that I started experimenting with the Korean skincare products. It was a long journey, and I was skeptical about their products. I used to buy famous brands like Clinique to reduce the scar's appearance, but it was very expensive, and the effect was barely visible. Then a friend gave me Korean hand masks, which were like gloves for 30 minutes. I had some cracks on my skin that were bleeding, after that mask it seemed like I'd got a pair of new hands. After that I found one local store where you can test products and buy small samples. Of course prices were way higher than ordering a bulk online, but with my skin conditions it was the only option. So far, I have liked the Calendula oil by Maxclinic, and lacto drops by Centella. Those products worked for my skin. Of course, it's far away from being perfect. Still, I saw some noticeable improvements.

Through trial and error, I've found a few strategies that have made a noticeable difference in the appearance of my scars.
One of the key lessons I learned early on was the importance of keeping the affected areas well-moisturized. I started using thick, fragrance-free moisturizers immediately after showering to lock in the moisture. This practice didn't erase the scars overnight, but over time, I noticed that well-hydrated skin seemed to heal better and the scars appeared less prominent.
Another game-changer for me was the introduction of products containing hyaluronic acid and ceramides into my skincare routine. These ingredients helped in restoring the skin barrier and provided an extra hydration boost, which seemed to play a significant role in the healing process of scarred tissues.
