Has anyone tried Rejuvasil? It’s a silicone scar cream that also contains emu oil, vitamin C and squalene. According to the manufacturer it:

” has more effective ingredients than any other liquid silicone products and has been clinically proven to reduce keloids, hypertrophic scars, surgical scars, and burns. [...] is made with emu oil and squalene (shark oil) to make this treatment even more effective.”

I would love to hear your experiences because there are little to no reviews of this product. The reason I think it might be an effective scar treatment cream is because it also contains vitamin C.



Next to the, proven effective silicones (dimethicone), vitamin C is backed by several studies as an effective scar cream component. It is mainly considered a wound healing agent but topical use seems to have some benefits regarding scar treatment.



Some of these benefits include:

• promoting healthy scar tissue regrowth (collagen synthesis),
• protection from harmful sunlight radiation (ultraviolet A and B),
• lightening of dark colored scars (hyperpigmentation),
• and improvement of skin irritation, inflammation, itch, redness (inflammatory dermatoses).
• It’s also thought to have excellent hydrating properties.

The problem with the addition of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) to skin care products is that it is highly unstable. This means that it reacts when exposed to e.g. air. Cosmetic manufacturers found a solution by using a more stable vitamin C variant called tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate. RejuvaSil contains this stable form of vitamin C.



I’m not aware of emu oil having any scar treatment benefits. Nevertheless the addition of this natural oil to Rejuvasil scar cream might still be useful because it is considered to be one of the few oils able to penetrate the skin. This trait would allow active ingredients to be carried with it into the deeper layers of the skin.

The only review I could find online is this one: (Average Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 )

“So far, the best scar gel for the price. I don’t see much of a difference between this one and another best seller scar gel that I have tried from the Derm Store, except this one is about $20 less. This was my second purchase and I plan on purchasing again.”

Rejuvasil scar cream can be purchased online at Amazon (cheaper) and MakeMeHeal. (two for one)

After application silicone creams provide a thin film covering the scar. The area should be clean and dry before the self-drying cream is applied. Daily use is recommended for optimal results. Major advantage of silicone ointments over patches is that it can easily be used on the face and other parts of the body that are hard to keep covered with patches.



“The application of silicone gel improves the redness, itching, texture and thickness of hypertrophic and keloid scars in 60% to 100% of cases “ (Poston, 2000)



Ingredients: Silicone (dimethicone), Emu Oil, Squalene (Shark Oil), Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C)

Disfiguring scars can drastically affect someones well being, both physical and psychological. That’s why treating scars the best way possible can be very important. Scar massage is a way of taking action and part of the ‘doing all you can to improve your scar’ approach. Whether you administer self-massage or make use of the services of a trained physical therapist, scar massage has some proven benefits.



The overall purpose of scar massage is to control the development of a fresh scar. It improves the blood circulation, and is said to promote collagen remodeling by the application of pressure to the scar. (studies on other therapies have also shown pressure to be an effective factor) In other words, massage helps break down thick layers of collagen thus preventing scar tightness.



Benefits of regular scar massage are that the tissue will turn out be softer and more pliable. Redness, itching, and pain can be reduced. Also the stimulation of new tissue growth is thought to be an effect of massage. Then there is the reduction of the chance on problematic scars such as hypertropic, keloid scars and contractures. A contracture is when the presence of scar tissue hinders a muscle’s ability to stretch. On top of that the scar surface will be prevented from becoming dry, cracked, and sore. These conditions, if left untreated, might lead to infections or other complications.

Study on effects and possible benefits of scar massage therapy. The outcome: The massage therapy group reported reduced itching, pain, and anxiety and improved mood.

Whether or not scar tissue is sensitive depends on the person and the location on the body. In my case, especially the scar on my chest bone was very sensitive. (The skin in this area seems to be very delicate.) For example clothing with zippers or the seat belt caused an annoying, irritant feeling. Massaging the scar is also a way to gradually get used to the scar tissue getting in contact with and getting touched thus making it less sensitive.



Commonly, scar massage can be self-administered when done cautiously and with care. With severe scars such as burn scars and for example in case of contractures it is best to consult a skilled physical therapist.



It is generally advised to massage at least three times a day for about ten minutes at a time. Only start after the wound has closed completely. When the scar tends to get more red then before stop massaging. Even when you are visiting a skilled skin therapist, working your own scar tissue in addition will often lead to greater improvements. Always massage as directed by your doctor or therapist. In case of surgical scars, always check with your surgeon or dermatologist before starting scar massage therapy.
