Whether it’s a scar that dates back to your tree-climbing days or a more recent one from a surprise c-section, nearly everyone garners a collection of scars. Maybe you've even tried using scar cream to fade them. Scarring is caused by both trauma injuries and inflammatory conditions (like acne), which can cause a loss or change in your skin's collagen structure, meaning you need the best scar creams to actually get your skin back to normal.
“Scars are the way our body responds to injury, and their [appearance] depends on the extent of the injury, the location, as well as some individual factors,” says dermatologist Marisa Garshick , MD. “Part of what determines how the scar looks is how the collagen is arranged and how thick or disorganized it is during the wound healing stages.”
Because of this, no two scars are the same. From raised ones (such as hypertrophic or keloid scars), to indentations, discolored spots, and stretch marks, there’s a variety of scar types. While there’s nothing wrong with embracing your scars (just look at how celebs like Sarah Hyland and Lena Dunham have proudly displayed theirs on social media), there’s also no shame in wanting them to go the eff away.
For anyone who falls in the latter camp, there are two main courses of action: The first is booking an appointment with your derm to discuss in-office treatments for scars. According to dermatologist Deanne Robinson , MD, your doc will advise you on the proper plan on attack based off your scar’s specific needs—PDL lasers, resurfacing treatments, light therapy, micro needling, and cortisone injections are all possible solutions. However, if you’d rather skip a pricy (sometimes painful) procedure, an alternative option is investing in an at-home remedy like one of these dermatologist-approved best scar creams.
This cream is a triple threat against scars thanks to tranexamic acid, niacinamide, and azelaic acid. Not only will it help lighten scars, it will also help brighten your overall tone.
Silicones along with copper and zinc sulfate create the ideally healing environment for scars in this gel formula. Paired with the brand's signature thermal spring water, it's also feels super soothing.
“This is a topical silicone treatment that uses patented FDA-approved Silishield technology to help soften and flatten raised scars and improve itch, redness, and discoloration,” says Dr. Garshick. “It creates an invisible shield through a gel that goes on smooth and dries quickly.”
“Silicone has long been a recommended scar treatment, as it’s thought to increase hydration and provide occlusion, which helps to normalize the scar tissue,” says Dr. Garshick. That's why you see silicone in so many scar creams. She prefers this non-greasy gel, because, not only can it be used on old and new scars, but its moisturizing properties prevent too much collagen from building up within the scar.
Bio-Oil has long been a cult-classic, thanks to its multi-tasking formula. This lightweight oil can be used on your hair, face, body, and you guessed it—scars. “It combines chamomile, which is calming and reduced redness, calendula, which has antibacterial effects, and vitamins A and E, which help promote collagen and hydrate,” says Dr. Garshick. Its easy-to-spread oil consistency also makes it ideal for larger scars, like stretch marks, since it’ll glide over skin.
Think of these like sheet masks for your scars. “They provide silicone to scars through an adhesive that helps to mimic the natural skin barrier to provide an optimal environment for healing,” explains Dr. Garshick. “It helps to hydrate the skin, and the adhesive is comfortable and flexible, enabling you to keep the scar covered and protected while you heal.”
As soon as a wound begins healing, it’s important to jumpstart the treatment process to minimize scarring. “During this time, it is important to maintain a skin barrier while also providing moisture to a healing wound and limit scab formation,” says Dr. Garshick. That's why she suggests applying a oldie-but-goodie petroleum jelly like Vaseline ASAP.
Fact: The sun is terrible for you skin. Beyond increasing your odds of skin cancer and premature aging, UV exposure also worsens the look of scars. Scar tissue is more prone to burning (which leads to hyperpigmentation and darkening), so it’s extra-important to protect skin with an SPF. Look for a tinted mineral formula to conceal and shield at the same time. “This is a great mineral-based sunscreen with a tint that helps provide coverage as well,” says Dr. Robinson. “It’s great if someone wants to help mask the appearance of scars.”
While it technically won’t aid in healing your scars, this creamy, sunscreen-infused makeup conceals any unsightly marks for up to 16 hours while keeping your skin hydrated.
Spritz this preventive spray on any new wounds that look like they’ll be sticking around for a while. It has hypochlorite acid in it, which, according to Dr. Robinson, is an ingredient that decreases the redness associated with scarring. Plus, this formula cleanses, hydrates, and minimizes damaged tissue.
