Well,SkinCeuticalshas done it again.
This time, its a scar treatment.
At the same time,studieshave shown that allantoin can help speed up wound recovery by reducing inflammation.
Scars have a lot of inflammation when theyre forming, but allantoin can help counteract this.

We tested it out.
Given its promises, I decided to try it out for myself.
What I found is that it feels like a super charged healing balm.
You put it on the area you need, and let it sit on top of your skin.
It has an incredible amount of moisture, thanks to the allantoin.
It also has a thick, clear consistency and quickly absorbs into the skin.
After applying the gel throughout the day, I noticed the brightness of my scar had dulled down.
It was still there, but a bit less noticeable.
However, its still too early to tell how long that will last.
So, keep that in mind before you decide to lather the target area.
Otherwise, this is one beauty buy to consider if youre hoping to give your scars the fade treatment.
