If the truth be told, I would be hard pressed to find a friend or family member who does not have some type of scar. Scars are just a part of life. Some can be are easily covered with a bit of makeup while others require more drastic measures.

If you take a look at the market, you'll probably find at least a dozen different types of products claiming to help reduce scars from surgeries, wounds, and even stretch marks. However, most of them are very expensive and, quite frankly, exaggerate their results.

You may have tried all the traditional products there are and still have scars, but don't let this discourage you. However, there is one type of product that has shown amazing results in treating scars - natural skin care cream containing Helix Aspersa Muller. It may seem a bit crazy to trust a natural product over a more traditional one, but bear with me.

Miracle Products found in Nature

Two skin care ingredients have been used for centuries to cure skin problems and other ailments:

*Helix Aspersa Muller extract, better known as snail serum

*and Rose hip oil

The use of snail serum, for example, can be traced as far back as Hippocrates. Both Hippocrates and his colleagues used snail serum to soften skin and as a Rosacea treatment.

Rose hip oil has, for years, been a part of skin care treatment. It was initially used by indigenous tribes in the South of Chile to treat scurvy and kidney dysfunction as well as a skin moisturizer and a treatment that can help minimize stretch marks.

Scar Treatment

Snail serum became important to scar and wound healing about two decades ago when heliculture workers noticed that it helped reduce the size of lesions. It quickly became obvious that it could be a great ingredient for skin care products.

Snail serum is a glycoconjugates compound that consists of enzymes, co-enzymes, peptides, and other molecules. It helps correct cellular communication and reduces the formation of scar tissue in the skin. These glycoconjugates also regulate cell proliferation to reduce excessive inflammation.

When the serum is applied to the affected area, the glycoconjugates make a bee line towards the site of injury and begin the process of breaking down the damaged cells with amino acids. The broken down cells are quickly replaced with healthy cells.

Rose hip seed oil is also a benefit for treatments that depend on stretch mark removal. This product works by accelerating the skin's cellular activity to improve skin renewal and cell regeneration.

Wound Healing

Both snail serum and rose hip oil can speed up the healing process. They both help accelerate the skin's natural renewal process thereby quickly replacing damaged skin cells with new ones. Keep in mind that some scars will react better than others. For example, these ingredients may not be as effective on keloid scar removal as they are on preventing them.
