This advanced scar reduction gel is specially formulated to help improve the appearance of scars while nourishing and protecting the skin. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture creates a breathable barrier that supports the natural healing process. Enriched with restorative and antioxidant-rich ingredients, the gel works to hydrate and smooth the skin, enhancing its overall appearance and texture.
A formulation combining mixed silicone gel, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and squalane can be a powerful option for scar management due to the complementary benefits of each ingredient. Here’s a breakdown of how each component contributes:
1. Dimethicone
Key Feature: Occlusive barrier & skin protectant
- Forms a protective, breathable layer over the skin
- Locks in moisture, which is crucial for proper wound healing and minimising scarring.
- Reduces itching and discomfort from healing scars.
2. Dimethicone/Vinyldimethicone Crosspolymer
Key Feature: Silky texture & enhanced skin smoothness
- Improves spreadability and feel of scar treatment products.
- Forms a flexible film over scars, helping flatten and soften them.
- Supports long-lasting occlusion, which benefits scar hydration.
3. Squalane (Olive-derived)
Key Feature: Moisturising & barrier restoration
- Mimics skin’s natural lipids, enhancing skin repair.
- Keeps scar tissue supple and hydrated.
- Helps reduce inflammation and oxidative stress around the scar.
4. Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E derivative)
Key Feature: Antioxidant & skin conditioning
- Protects scar tissue from oxidative damage.
- May help reduce scar discoloration over time.
- Supports overall skin regeneration, though efficacy in scar fading is debated.
5. Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (Vitamin C derivative)
Key Feature: Brightening & collagen support
- Promotes collagen synthesis, essential for remodelling scar tissue.
- Reduces pigmentation and helps fade dark scars.
- Stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C for better penetration in skin.
How to use:
Put a small amount of gel on the scar and gently massage along the length of the scar in parallel motions. Use twice daily.
