The Cure for Scars? It’s not a procedure. It’s not a drug. It’s natural, and (YES!) it actually works.
Proven Results derma e® Scar Gel was tested in an 8 week independent clinical study. Indeed, the formula was proven to live up to the hype, shown to significantly improve visible scar texture, color and overall appearance.
In a perfect world, scars would not be an issue. Cuts, scrapes, burns, sores and even surgical stitches would heal perfectly, without consequence. However, as we know, that’s not quite reality.

The Truth About Scars

More often than not, skin damage down to the dermal layer will leave discolored, bumpy or recessed scar tissue behind. That’s because a scar is the body's natural way of healing and replacing lost or damaged skin. Most scars have a flat, pale appearance. If the body produces too much collagen, scars can be raised (hypertrophic or keloid scars). If the underlying support structure of this skin is lost, scars can be sunken or pitted. Before
While some people enjoy their scars for the lively stories they bring, others of us (read cystic acne sufferers) would prefer to live with perfectly scar-free skin. If you’re in the latter group, read on…
The Search for a Solution It may come as no surprise that scars cannot be completely removed. However, there are several ways to improve their appearance. Aggressive options include surgery, steroid injections, radiotherapy, laser resurfacing and filler injections. But these options are not for everyone, particularly those of us who prefer more natural, less invasive methods. On that front, we found a highly natural, non-OTC skincare product from derma e® that works wonders on the appearance of scars.
A Natural Wonder: derma e® Scar Gel derma e® Scar Gel is a clear, lightweight formula that can be applied directly to scars. Developed by a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, it contains allicin (from onion bulb), allantoin (from comfrey) and panthenol (vitamin B5). When used as directed, it claims to help scars look and feel significantly better.
After
“my scars have diminished a good 90%” Upon reading online reviews for this product, we found some diehard believers: “I started using Scar Gel on my acne scars about 2 months ago. The scars were very dark and very easy to notice. In that short period of time my scars have diminished a good 90%” “After an accident that resulted in a huge gash to my forehead and the necessity of being rushed to the emergency room, I began using Scar Gel as soon as stitches were removed. After 5 weeks, the scarring is mostly resolved. I just wanted to let you know how thrilled I am with your product!”
