What it is

How to use

• AM: Cleanse and dry the area thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of gel and smooth gently until absorbed. If the area is exposed to sun, follow with a broad-spectrum SPF.
• PM: Cleanse, dry and apply a thin layer of gel. Use a gentle patting motion if the scar is newly closed or sensitive.
• Apply twice daily for consistent coverage. Allow a few minutes before dressing or applying other products.

Why it works

• Silicone — helps form an occlusive, breathable layer that supports a smoother surface and can reduce thickness over time.
• Allantoin — soothes and helps maintain skin comfort during the healing process.
• Sunflower seed extract — supports the skin barrier and can help reduce inflammation around scar tissue.
• Silica — gives a non-shiny, dry-touch finish that sits comfortably under moisturiser or makeup.

What to expect

With regular twice-daily use you may notice improvements in texture and appearance over several weeks. Many users report visible change within a few months; individual response varies with scar type, age and skin. Continued application supports maintenance of results.

Good to know

• Perform a patch test on a small area before first use. Stop use if persistent irritation, redness or allergic reaction occurs and consult a skin specialist.
• Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
• Do not apply to open wounds or unhealed surgical sites unless advised by your clinician.
