This is a topical cream or gel used to make scars look better and less noticeable. It helps to soften and smooth scars from surgery, injuries, burns, or acne. It is generally considered safe to use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding but consulting a doctor is advised.

Indications

Relief of dry skin associated with contact dermatitis, senile pruritus, atopic dermatitis, ichthyosis & related dry skin conditions. It softens and hydrates skin. It is also a mild cleanser for dry, sensitive skin. It helps reduce dryness and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth.

Pharmacology

Scar creams typically have properties that reduce tension on the scar by:

providing moisture to soften the upper layer of the skin,
providing a protective barrier to retain moisture,
helping cells to regenerate and remodel the connective tissue below the scar.

Some treatments additionally protect against photodamage to the sensitive skin on the scar. To find out what’s in your scar cream of choice, have a look at the typical ingredients that provide these functions.
