Skarslick Skin Softening Essence: An Overview of Ingredients, Precautions, and Direction of Use

I bought Skarslick Skin softening Essence to reduce the appearance of my scars. I want to try it because I cannot find any first hand testimonials on the Internet except on its website where it only advertises the product.
Anyways, The brochure accompanying the package states that Skarslick Skin Softening Essence is a product that uses natural ingredients that are bound together to make an effective formula to replenish and regulate the extreme loss of water in old scar tissues. It says that it can improve scar tissue's elasticity and restores its moisture. Its natural formula can penetrate into deep layer of the skin that can help rejuvenate skin tissues. So, whether the scar is from surgery, burn, stretch marks, an injury, or acne, it can be sure that Skarslick Skin Softening Essence can help make it appear softer, smoother, and less noticeable. Skarslick should be applied with an appropriate amount onto the scar and gently massage it for 2-3 minutes or until the fluid is thoroughly absorbed by the skin. It should be used 3-4 times a day for eight weeks on new scars and 3-4 months on existing scars. There are also precautions like discontinue use if abnormal skin reaction occurs, close bottle tightly after use and keep out of reach of children, avoid contact with eyes and open wounds, avoid wearing tight clothes or garments which can rub over scarred skin, avoid expose to direct sunlight and store in a cool dry place.
Its active ingredients include the following:

Acexamic Acidis a well known anti-inflammatory and cicatrizing drug, due to its favourable effect on connective tissue and epithelia, used in dermatology for healing sores and wounds
Heparin Sodiumits purpose is a defensive mechanism at sites of tissue injury against invading bacteria and other foreign materials
Tranexamic Acidcommonly marketed as Cyklokapron in the US and as Transamin in Asia, is often prescribed for excessive bleeding. It is antifibrinolytic that competitively inhibits the activation of plasminogen to plasmin, a molecule responsible for the degradation of fibrin. Fibrin is the basic framework for the formation of a bloo clot in hemostasis.
Propolis Extractit has antibacterial and antibiotic properties
Sodium hyaluronateis similar to the synovial fluid that surrounds your joints. Synovial fluid acts as a lubricant and shock absorber.
Elastinis a protein in connective tissue that is elastic and allows many tissues in the body to resume their shape after stretching or contracting. Elastin helps skin to return to its original position when it is poked or pinched. elastin is also an important load-bearing tissue in the bodies of mammals and sed in places where mechanical energy is required to be stored.
Allantoinoccurs in nature in plants like Horse Chestnut, Wheat germs and Beetroot, etc. Promotes wound healing, moisturizes and stimulates the growth of healthy tissue.
Aloe Extracthas anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial effects. It is also used to help in relieving arthritic pain, improving blood circulaion and reducing scarring.
Vitamin E Acetate (liposome)acetate is slowly hydrolized once it is absorbed into the skin, regenerating tocopherl and providing protection against sun's ultraviolet rays
Jojoba oil (Simmondsia chinensis)jojoba penetrates the lipid layer, leaving a soft and dry sensation, slowing down the loss of moisture and improving its flexibility and elasticity. jojoba prevents stretch marks thanks to the elastic effetc it provides to the skin. Jojoba is very gentle to sensitive skin.
