Product Overview
ScarX pairs a proven silicone gel base with an esterified form of vitamin C to support scar care on surgical, burn, or injury sites. The lightweight gel forms a breathable barrier that helps retain hydration, reduce itch, and improve the look of raised or discolored scars with consistent use.

Ingredient Breakdown
| Ingredient | Benefit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Polymerized Siloxanes (Silicone Gel) | Forms an occlusive, hydrating barrier that helps flatten and soften raised scars and reduce itch. | Supported by clinical evidence for hypertrophic/keloid scars; comparable efficacy to silicone sheets when used consistently. |
| Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C) | Lipid-soluble vitamin C derivative to support even tone and collagen synthesis for a clearer look. | Pairs well with silicone; allow gel to dry before SPF/makeup. |
| Non-active base | Delivers a smooth, fast-drying finish without stickiness. | Designed to layer under cosmetics once set. |
Why It Stands Out
Evidence-backed silicone is the gold standard for non-invasive scar care, and ScarX layers in a stable vitamin C derivative to address color and texture. The gel is non-greasy, easy to apply with a precise tip, and plays nicely with makeup, making daily consistency much easier.

What Real Users Say
“Since using Vitamin C Infused Scar Gel, I’ve noticed significant improvement in my surgery scars. They’re much less noticeable now.”
“I’ve used kelo-cote gel, it’s pretty good! I don’t think there’s much of a difference as long as it’s actual silicone tho.”
“Silicone gel tape or silicone sheets … works but you must be strict and use it 24/7 aside from showers.”

How to Use
Clean and dry the area. Apply a thin layer 2–3 times per day and let it fully dry before clothing, SPF, or makeup. Use consistently for 8–12 weeks (or longer for older scars). Keep scars protected from sun to minimize discoloration.
Cautions & Considerations
For external use only
Avoid eyes and open or infected wounds. Stop use if irritation occurs; consult a clinician when in doubt.
Sensitivity & climate
In hot, humid weather, occlusives can feel warm and may trigger irritation in sensitive skin. Reduce frequency or discontinue if this occurs.
Consistency matters
Published data and user reports highlight that daily, long-term use is key for visible changes in raised scars.
Post-procedure timing
Only apply to fully closed skin unless your surgeon advises otherwise. Follow post-op instructions specific to your procedure.
