Below are the answers to some frequently asked questions about scar cream. How does scar cream work? Scars can be beautiful, of course. A C-section scar gave life to a child, and wound scars show that you survived an injury. But scars can also really affect your confidence. So we’re very happy to discover that many scar creams really do work, with active ingredients such as medical-grade silicone gel, beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) and allantoin working in different ways to fade and heal different types of scar, and prevent scars from forming after injury or surgery. Allantoin is a naturally occurring chemical compound from animals, bacteria, and plants. It has skin-softening, protecting, soothing, and wound-healing properties. Some cosmetic manufacturers produce allantoin synthetically. BHAs (beta hydroxy acids) such as salicylic acid can really help to smooth out acne scars. They resurface and renew your skin, helping to minimise pits and lines and even out your skin tone.Some acne scar serums include both AHAs and BHAs to effectively exfoliate both the surface of your skin and inside the pores, so you can fade your scars and prevent future breakouts at the same time.

She explains, "Some serums will be more effective than others. And some serums will be more (and others less) effective than some gels or creams for example."
The scar-healing process involves the body trying to replace damaged tissues in the skin by producing collagen fibres. Scarring can occur when too much collagen is produced or not enough and the scarring can range from flat and white to raised and dark. Hyperpigmentation is the over-production of melanin by skin cells called melanocytes which creates darker patches on the skin. Mederma Scar Cream + SPF 30: The Mederma Scar Cream with SPF was non-greasy and easy to apply, but the instructions said it should be applied three times per day—which felt like a lot, considering it didn’t make our scars look any different.

CAN I USE THIS WITH REDNESS RELIEF SOLUTION WITH 10% AZEALIC ACID? Yes, however we suggest using Redness Relief Solution with 10% Azealic Acid in your AM routine and Scar, Mark and Wrinkle Solution with 1% Retinol in your PM routine.Some creams may work as an exfoliant, gently scrubbing away dead skin cells on and around the scar, which may help reduce the appearance of scarring. Rolling scars are usually wide depressions in the skin that aren’t particularly deep. They have a rounded shape with edges that slope slightly, so the skin takes on a wavy texture. Most rolling scars occur if you suffer from inflammatory acne for a prolonged period of time. American Academy of Dermatology. (2017). An investigation into multifaceted mechanisms of action of allantoin in wound healing. We tested 30 scar creams in total. We rated the products based on their overall effectiveness, how they felt on our skin, if they had any scent, how easy they were to use, and what we thought their value was based on their cost and how well they worked. We also paid close attention to our scars during the testing process—to see if they were changing—and did a photo-based comparison at the end of our testing to get an objective look at any significant reduction in scarring.
