Review – Kelo-cote Silicone Gel

I have been using Kelo-cote silicone gel for almost 5 months now. I’ve had two c-sections one planned which you can read about here and one emergency one which you can read about here. I was 3 months post c-section when I started using the gel, it was still very painful, raised and red. Anyone who reads my blog on a regular basis will know that I had a lot of trouble with my health after the section. Externally it was great and I checked with my doctor and consultant before starting with Kelo-cote. They both said it was fine as it was internal that was the problem and this wouldn’t interfere with the internal infections. I was good to go.

Before I go into my experience I thought I’d tell you a little about it. Kelo-cote is a patented silicone gel which has been proven to flatten and smooth out scars, whether that is old scars or recent scars. It will help with itching, redness and general discomfort. The gel dries in a few minutes and leave a waterproof sheet like substance on your skin which is breathable and not noticeable. This binds to the outer layer of dead cells to allow a better healing process and improve the scar. Best way to use Kelo-cote is the allow it to have 24 hour contact with your skin, so putting it on after you are dry from a shower and then again before bed is the best way to do this. It will take around 60-90 days to see a vast improvement, but older scars may take longer. Kelo-cote is even suitable for children and those with sensitive skin like myself and I’ve had no issues with it. 

Every morning when I got up, I’d have a shower, get dried and put on my gel. I am still wearing those big Bridget Jones style pants, you know the ones, so the elastic doesn’t rub the scar. Attractive, they are not, comfortable, yes they are. So for not, I’m going with the latter. I waited a few minutes until the gel dried and put my clothes on. You only need a small tiny amount, about the size of a grain of rice. Then you are good to go for the rest of the day. Before bedtime I would put another amount of gel on, let it dry and put on my pj’s. I continued to do this. 

After I started using it I placed this post on their facebook:-

“I was contacted by Kelo-cote as a mummy-ambassador for the product after my second c-section. I started using it at 12 weeks post c-section. My scar was very red, raised and still quite painful. I used Kelo-cote every morning and every evening. It is very easy to apply, you only need a tiny grain of rice size amount, so a little goes a long way. It takes about 5 minutes to dry but it feels comfortable and isn’t sticky. Please do follow my experience with Kelo-cote, I will be posting my progress.

I’ll follow up again in a few weeks with how the scar is looking, etc.”

I followed up with:- 

“After just 3 weeks of using Kelo-cote I noticed a remarkable difference in the texture and colour of my C-section scar. The scar was quite raised and was noticeably less so and the colour was definitely not as fiery red as it had been. All going in the right direction and so easy to use, Kelo-cote part of my daily beauty regime.”

Then:-

“One month into using Kelo-cote gel I have noticed that the scar from my previous c-section which is longer than my newer c-section is almost gone. There is no redness there what so ever, there is just a thin silvery line. On my newer c-section I am 17 week’s post c-section and the redness is starting to fade. I love how the gel dries in quickly and you only need a tiny amount. The tube I have been using is going to last me for ages. A little really does go a long way. Loving the results so far.”

Then:-

“I am now 1 1/2 months into using Kelo-cote, I now instinctively use it every morning and every evening before bed. It’s so simple to use, takes seconds and isn’t sticky. The redness on the scar is fading and noticeable on a weekly basis. It’s still red looking as I’m only 20 odd weeks post c-section but it’s certainly not the fiery red it was a month or so ago when I starting using Kelo-cote. The scar is flatting down and is only very slightly raised. I’m extremely happy with my progress of Kelo-cote so far and can’t wait to see further results.”

My final post:- 

“I have been using Kelo-cote for almost 5 months. I’m not long into my second tube and have used it twice a day for those 5 months, it really does last a long time. My scar is no longer raised, it feels very smooth to touch, there is no redness, all that is left is a thin line. This has vastly improved and I will continue to use Kelo-cote and feel it will eventually become invisible. I cannot recommend this enough to anyone with a scar. It is amazing stuff.”

As you can read, I have been very impressed with Kelo-cote. The tube lasted me almost 5 months when used twice a day. My scar is hardly noticeable at all. I would have posted pictures but didn’t feel comfortable with that, so I’m sorry, but honestly this stuff works. I’ve started to use it on a scar I got when I was 7 years old so it’s almost, yes almost 30 years old. And do you know what, it’s improving already. It’s a huge indent and now it’s smoothing out. Impressive. 

All in all I think the Kelo-cote is really good. I’ve seen the results and I’m very happy with them. I will be recommending this and continuing to use it on my section scar and my scar on my knee. If you’ve tried it I’d love to know what you think?
