to 4.7 stars: These scar creams are excellent—they might have minor flaws, but we still recommend them. A scab is your body’s natural way of healing from an injury that broke your skin. If not handled properly, a scab can become infected. Here’s how to… READ MORE Fine line scars. These happen after a minor wound, such as a cut. They usually leave a raised line that will fade over time, says Dr. Troy Pittman, a board-certified plastic surgeon with Somenek + Pittman MD Advanced Plastic Surgery in Washington, D.C.
Lei Z, et al. (2019). Rosehip oil promotes excisional wound healing by accelerating the phenotypic transition of macrophages. There’s limited medical evidence supporting the idea that potatoes can help with scars. But one 2017 study found that potato peel may help heal minor burns. Maurya AK, et al. (2018). The essential oil from Citrus limetta Risso peels alleviates skin inflammation: In-vitro and in-vivo study. Han X, et al. (2017). Biological activities of frankincense essential oil in human dermal fibroblasts.Using this gel was a bit like laying down a waterproof seal of plastic wrap on our scars, which is why we recommend the Cimeosil Scar and Laser Gel for nighttime use (i.e. when no one will be giving your scar the side-eye). But we can’t argue with its effectiveness—we used this treatment twice a day for the duration of testing, and by the time we were done, the large scar we were treating had more flesh tones and less reddish-purple tones in it. It also felt both flatter and more sensitized to the touch. Meanwhile, the small scar we treated had a significant reduction in both color and puffiness, flattening out and lightening more to our skin tone. One 2014 study attributed this to the succinic acid present in ACV. Succinic acid can control inflammation caused by acne, which in turn may prevent scars from forming. Depending on the type of scar you have, a doctor may be able to prescribe a cream. Some prescription-only creams may be more effective than what you buy over the counter. Dr. Brazzo says allantoin can hydrate the skin, soften keratin, and promote healing. You might also see hyaluronic acid in some scar treatments for the same reason. Allantoin and hyaluronic acid together stimulate collagen production, notes Dr. Brazzo, which restores the skin’s natural architecture and leads to smoother skin with normal elasticity and color.
Plant-based ingredients like allantoin and onion extract, meanwhile, work by rehydrating and moisturizing the skin, softening the skin bonds, and allowing for regrowth. We tested the Aroamas Scar Professional Silicone Scar Sheets on a four-year-old scar on our face where the skin was damaged enough to prohibit hair growth in that area. While it was a little awkward to cut the sheets down to the appropriate size for a facial scar (and we couldn’t leave the sheets on 24/7, as recommended) we were still impressed with the results we saw. A scar forms as part of the natural healing process following an injury. When the dermis — the second layer of skin — is damaged, your body forms collagen fibers to repair the damage, resulting in a scar.Bio-Oil Multiuse Skincare Oil: This oil was super hydrating, but also kind of messy. And while it helped clear up our mild scabbing, it didn’t do much in terms of changing the appearance of our scars.
