Scar treatments and remedies come in various forms and very in background, effectiveness and ease of use such as silicone gel sheets, pure silicone sheet, silicone liquid/gel/cream based applications and non-silicone scar cream.
Syprex Skin Science offers SyCream scar and stretch mark cream, a non-silicone scar cream that works on hypertrophic and keloid scars as well as burns, bites, ndented scars caused by acne or other injuries.
Scar creams offer a scar reduction solution that is convenient and easy to use. SyCream blends in quickly and only a small amount is needed once or twice a day to begin seeing changes that occur faster (30-50% less time) than silicone gel such as Neosporin Scar Solution, Retouch, Scar Fx, Scarfix, Novagel, Cica Care, or pure silicone scar sheets such as ReJuveness or Syprex Scar Sheet alone. SyCream claims to work faster as well as being the leading treatment for acne scars and offers a superior scar remedy when used under any silicone scar sheet. ReJuveness also offers a similar scar cream to Syprex's scar cream.
While sunscreen is important to cover a scar with, it is unclear what benefit scarcreams, whose active ingredient is a sunscreen, has over conventional and inexpensive sunscreens that are widely available.
Vitamin E is not recommended for treating scars. It has been shown in studies to be ineffective and may cause an allergic reaction in over 30% of those using it in the scar study.
Onion extract was not shown to be effective in a study performed by Mederma and in some cases made the scar worse. Additional studies have shown onion extract unable to improve scars. Products containing onion extract or allium cepa should not be considered as an effective scar treatment.
