Avène Cicalfate+ Scar remodeling gel 40ml

Is this gel effective on all types of scars?
Cicalfate+ Scar Gel by Avène is designed to support the healing of recent scars and promote a smoother, more even appearance. It is particularly effective on post-surgical scars, acne marks, cuts, and superficial burns. However, results may be less visible on older or hypertrophic scars, which often require more intensive or prolonged care.

How and when should the gel be applied to a scar? Can it be used on a fresh or open wound?
Apply the gel twice daily to a clean, dry scar, massaging gently to aid absorption and skin regeneration. It should not be used on open or oozing wounds. Wait until the wound is fully closed before beginning application to ensure safe and effective results.

Does this gel contain ingredients that may cause allergies or irritation?
The formula is fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and non-comedogenic, which minimises the risk of allergic reactions or irritation. It includes sucralfate and copper-zinc, known for their soothing and reparative properties. For very sensitive skin, a patch test on a small area is advised before full application.

Can the gel be used on the face, and is it suitable for children and babies?
Yes, Cicalfate+ Scar Gel is safe for facial use and is suitable for adults, children, and infants. It’s particularly recommended after dermatological procedures such as acne extraction, laser treatments, or minor stitches.

Does this gel help with redness, itching, or discomfort associated with scarring?
Yes, its hydrating, protective texture forms a gentle barrier over the skin, helping to calm redness, reduce tightness, and ease itching often experienced during the healing process. With regular use, it softens the skin and visibly improves the appearance of the scar over time.
