Scar Reduction Cream Formula for Dry Skin (Post-Laser)

Subject: Review of Scar Reduction Cream Formula

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your proposed formula for a scar reduction cream to use after laser treatment for moles, freckles, and sunspots. It's understandable that you want to prevent scarring, especially with dry skin.

Based on the ingredients you've listed, this formula appears to be well-designed for scar reduction and moisturizing dry skin:

• Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu): This ingredient is known for its ability to support wound healing and skin regeneration, which is beneficial for minimizing scar formation.
• Rose Hip Oil: Excellent for dry skin, it provides moisture and contains beneficial fatty acids and vitamins that can help improve skin texture and the appearance of scars.
• Hi-Quercetin® (Onion Extract): Onion extract is a common and effective ingredient in scar treatment products, known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties.
• Allantoin: This ingredient helps to soothe the skin, promote healing, and moisturize. Regarding the percentage, the staff's recommendation to reduce Allantoin to 0.2-0.3% is advisable. Lower concentrations are often sufficient for effectiveness and can help avoid potential solubility issues or irritation.
• Glycerin and Double Hyaluron Liquid: These are excellent humectants that will provide significant hydration, which is crucial for dry skin and supports the skin's natural healing process.
• Satin Cream Maker, Preservative, and Distilled Water: These form the necessary base and ensure the stability and safety of the cream.

Important Note on Application Timing: You mentioned applying the cream when the wound is scabbing. It is generally recommended to wait until the scabs have fallen off naturally and the skin has fully closed before applying scar treatment creams. Applying products to open or scabbing wounds can interfere with the natural healing process and potentially cause irritation or infection. Please ensure the skin is fully healed and intact before starting to use this cream.

Overall, with the adjustment to the Allantoin percentage as recommended by the staff, this formula contains a good combination of ingredients to help reduce the appearance of scars and moisturize your dry skin once the post-laser wounds have completely healed.
