Silicone Gel for Scars

A clear, fast-drying silicone gel that forms a thin protective layer over a scar and keeps it hydrated, so it looks smoother, flatter, and less red over time. We have used it daily at Derm.ca for over 15 years, including after skin surgery and skin cancer removal. Use it on new and older scars from surgery, acne, burns, and procedures, including raised and keloid scars. It also makes a soothing barrier for dry, sensitive skin in cold weather. 50 ml.

Silicone gel is one of the most widely used at-home options for scar care. It creates a thin, flexible barrier that slows moisture loss from the skin's surface. Keeping a healing scar hydrated helps it look softer, flatter, and less red.

Dimethicone cetearyl and dimethicone crosspolymer are two medical-grade silicones. Together they form that protective layer and dry clear and non-greasy, so you can wear the gel under sunscreen and makeup.

Gently clean the area and pat dry. Apply a thin layer to the scar two to three times a day, morning and night at minimum, and let it dry.

New scars: start once stitches are removed, or after laser or surgical procedures once your skin has closed, or as your doctor directs. Keep the area moisturized for at least 8 weeks.

Older scars: use consistently for 3 to 6 months.

Tip: Sun can darken a healing scar. During the day, layer or mix the gel with our Age Defy Mineral Sunscreen. At night, use it alone or with the Redness Relief Moisturizer.
