Product Information

This affordable scar cream doubles as a moisturizer. It’s infused with pure, hydrating ingredients, like vitamin E, rosehip oil, and avocado oil. After continued use, you’ll begin to notice the fading of both old and new scars. We tested the RejûvaSil Silicone Scar Gel on two flat scars—one about two years old and one only three months old. The goal in treating both of these scars was to lighten their pigmentation since neither was raised at the start of our testing. While we saw a noticeable difference in the older scar, noting that it faded nicely to the point of mostly blending in with our skin, we didn’t see the same kind of results with the newer scar. Pantothenic acid and panthenol (aka vitamin B5) form hydrogen bonds with water, pulling moisture into the skin (or hair, hence their popularity in shampoos and conditioners). These ingredients make scar tissue more elastic, which is essential for healthy and scar-free healing, and help new tissue to grow normally. All of this wrapped up into a hydrating oil help reduce the appearance of non-keloid scars and stretch marks, according to a 2018 study.

I recently got my hands on Derma E Scar Gel, which is one of the more buzzed-about scar solutions in beauty circles. I had two lingering mole-removal scars on my face, and wanted to expedite their progress (or prevent them from stalling and parking that way altogether). A large number of beauty products tend to use harsh preservatives to increase the shelf life of products. Derma is very transparent about the ingredients that go into the making of this scar gel. Key among them is water (Aqua), Allium cepa, glycerin, Allantoin, Panthenol, Carbomer 940, beta-alanine, Phenoxyethanol, ethyl hexyl glycerin, potassium sorbate, and fragrant oils. Throughout the lab testing phase and our research, we also relied on the expertise of several dermatologists and plastic surgeons, both in the Lab phase of our testing and during the research process: Dr. Rapaport credits the cream’s effectiveness to ingredients like hyaluronic acid, onion extract, and peptides, which she says have all been shown to minimize the appearance of scars and enhance the texture of the skin. Plus, she notes that allowing your skin to absorb the nutrients in the cream overnight aids in its ability to leave you with a healthier, more even complexion.

Depending on the type of product you choose, you may need to look out for allergic reactions. Open skin is more sensitive to allergens, says Melanie Palm, MD, a dermatologist at Art of Skin MD. She adds that while silicone-based products are unlikely to cause a reaction, some OTC treatments contain other ingredients that increase the likelihood of a reaction.
