What Is The Difference Between A Scar Gel And A Scar Cream?

What Is The Difference Between A Scar Gel And A Scar Cream?

When it comes to managing post-surgical scars—especially after plastic surgery—one ingredient stands out as the gold standard: silicone. Clinically backed and widely recommended by dermatologists and plastic surgeons, silicone helps regulate hydration in the healing tissue, reduces collagen overproduction, and minimizes scar visibility.

At Rejuvaskin, we believe in the power of silicone so much that we’ve infused it across our entire scar management line—from topical creams to silicone sheeting. But two of our most asked-about products are:

  • RejûvaSil Silicone Scar Gel

  • Scar Esthetique Scar Crème with Silicone

So what’s the difference between the two? Let’s take a closer look.

RejûvaSil Silicone Scar Gel

Best for: Active healing phase, visible scars, daytime use

RejûvaSil is a clear, fast-drying silicone gel designed to replicate the therapeutic benefits of traditional silicone sheeting—without the need for physical adhesive. It forms a semi-occlusive barrier over the scar, which helps flatten and soften the tissue while reducing itchiness and discomfort.

Why it’s unique:

  • Ideal for use on visible or hard-to-cover areas like the face, neck, and hands

  • Dries quickly to a non-greasy finish, making it perfect for daytime application

  • Excellent for use in combination with silicone sheeting to maintain 24/7 scar protection

Recommended use:
Apply RejûvaSil during the day, especially when silicone sheeting isn’t practical. It’s safe for children over three and gentle enough for sensitive skin.

Scar Esthetique Scar Crème with Silicone

Best for: Discoloration, mature scars, long-term skin restoration

Scar Esthetique is a lightweight cream that blends silicone with a powerhouse of skin-nourishing ingredients—including onion extract, polypeptides, antioxidants, and botanical brighteners. While RejûvaSil focuses on flattening and softening scars, Scar Esthetique takes aim at hyperpigmentation and discoloration, helping scars blend more seamlessly with the surrounding skin.

Why it’s unique:

  • Combines the proven benefits of silicone with skin-brightening ingredients

  • Targets pigment and color irregularities that remain after initial healing

  • Absorbs easily, making it ideal for long-term maintenance

Recommended use:
Once a scar has flattened and smoothed out, use Scar Esthetique to address residual redness or dark pigmentation. This cream complements previous silicone treatments to deliver comprehensive results over time.

How To Choose the Right Product

Many patients benefit from a combination therapy approach. For instance:

  • Early healing: Start with RejûvaSil and silicone sheeting to manage moisture and prevent excess collagen buildup.

  • Later stages: Transition to Scar Esthetique to address any lingering discoloration and support the skin’s long-term recovery.

That’s why we also offer all three products—RejûvaSil, Scar Esthetique, and Silicone Sheeting—as part of our Scar Heal Kit, making it easy to follow a complete scar management plan from day one to final fade.
