Oryan A, et al. (2016). Topical application of aloe vera accelerated wound healing, modeling, and remodeling: An experimental study.

Superficial wounds like cuts and abrasions cause fine-line scars. This type of scar fades significantly over time, becoming nearly invisible without treatment. Avéne Cicalfate+ Scar Gel: This gel was easy to use and apply, leaving little to no scent or residue behind, but it wasn’t overly moisturizing and didn’t really seem to effect any measurable change. Different types of scar require different types of treatment. Here are some of the ingredients you’ll find in scar creams and gels. Keloids: Raised, textured scars that can spread past the original wound area. You might say that keloids are scars that heal a little too well in response to the injury.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.

It’s pretty rare to reach adulthood without a scar, and many of us continue to collect battle scars over the years. Injuries, surgery and skin problems leave shiny lines, dents and lumps in our skin, while scars such as stretch marks and dark spots are an almost inevitable part of ageing. You may assume that all these scars are permanent, but the best scar creams and gels can fade and shrink them, including the scars you’ve had for years.Healthline has strict sourcing guidelines and relies on peer-reviewed studies, academic research institutions, and medical associations.

Cicatricure Face & Body Scar Gel: We definitely didn’t hate this treatment—it seemed to lighten the appearance and reduce the depth of our acne scars. But you need to apply it four times per day and it takes 10 to 15 minutes to fully absorb, so it’s not easy to use. 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. Studies have found that some of them, like silicone and green tea, have benefits. Others, like onion skin and aloe vera, are unproven for treating scar tissue but may have value for soothing skin. We applied a thin layer of the gel, turned on the vibrating wand, and ran it over the scar area for about two minutes, then applied a scar sheet to leave on for the rest of the day or overnight. Our scar was pretty tough: a pea-sized keloid scar we’ve had for about 20 years. While we didn’t see dramatic results (that’s to be expected with keloid scars, which usually require surgery), we noticed a less dense scar at the end of testing.
