A scars cream or scar gel is meant to improve the appearance of the skin by making it scar-free. These scars may be caused due to surgery, injury, acne, laser resurfacing et al. These scars are unseemly and mar the appearance of otherwise healthy and beautiful skin. This is the reason that people having scars try every method possible to reduce the scars and restore the natural appearance of the skin. There are many scar treatment products available in the market, which claim to reduce the appearance of scars. These products often contain ingredients like onion extracts, vitamin E oil, cucumber butter, cocoa butter, lime juice Aloe Vera etc. Some of them even contain technologically advanced actives like skin remodelling peptides. However, none of these ingredients are proven to diminish the appearance of scars.

The only products known to significantly treat scars are silicone based scars cream and scar gel. These products are effective on all scars including hypertrophic and Keloid scars. The scar cream formula is such that it penetrates deep into the subcutaneous layer of the skin and heals the scar tissue from inside. A scar cream is most effective when used with silicone based gel or silicone sheeting. When used in such a combination, it reduces the appearance of scars by almost 82%! A scar cream contains many natural ingredients along with silicone. In this way, it improves the overall health and appearance of the skin, apart from diminishing the scar.

A scars cream can create a problem for oily skin, in which case, a scar gel is the best alternative. A gel meant for the treatment of scars contains liquid silicone in the form of Dimethicone Crosspolymer and Cyclomethicone. Apart from this, it contains other skin treatment ingredients like Vitamin C, Emu oil, Squalene etc. This gel is especially useful on those anatomical surfaces, like the face and joints where silicone sheeting may be cumbersome to use. It is non sticky and forms an occlusive covering on the scar. It is particularly useful for the treatment of acne scars and stretch marks. Both scar cream and gel are useful in the lightening of brown ageing spots.
