ABSTRACT:
A cream or ointment for topical application to reduce the appearance of scars. A silicone compound is combined with a sunscreen or sun block for topical application that helps fade or diminish scar tissue making the scar less noticeable. The silicone compound acts as a protective barrier and prevents epidermal water loss that aids in the healing and reduction of scar tissue. The sunscreen or sun block prevents the new tissue from being damaged and protects the scar tissue from the effects of ultraviolet radiation, resulting in more uniform skin color reducing the appearance of the scar tissue. Vitamins E and K1, as well as onion extract, are also included for improving the appearance of scars. The cream or ointment of the present invention may be massaged into the area of the scar twice daily for two to three minutes at a time. The cream or ointment is easy to apply and is a cost effective method to reduce the appearance of scars.
