Ingredients
- Polysiloxanes
- Silicon Dioxide
Silicones are also referred to as Polysiloxanes. Polysiloxanes are a type of polymer that is made of repeating units of siloxane which are a chain of alternating silicon atoms and oxygen atoms. It helps heal scars by protecting the scarred tissue from bacteria and it increases hydration of the stratum corneum. The manufacturer does not have the amounts of each ingredient on their website. Without knowing how much of each ingredient there is in every serving there is no way for us to know if it is enough to be effective.

Conclusion of Our Scar Away Silicone Scar Gel Review
Scar Away Silicone Scar Gel appears to be a promising scar treatment. It uses silicon as its primary ingredient which has been shown to have the ability to heal damaged skin and it comes in an easy to apply gel for convenience. However, this product is not backed by a manufacturer’s guarantee which means that if you purchase this product and are dissatisfied in any way, you cannot get your money back from the manufacturer. The lack of a manufacturer’s guarantee also suggests that the manufacturer is lacking confidence in their product’s ability. The lack of a manufacturer’s guarantee is especially risky because the consumer feedback we saw reported that this product does not work. Consumers reported that after continuously applying this gel as instructed by the manufacturer, they did not see any difference in the appearance of their scars. With so many scar treatments available on the market, you are better off choosing one that is backed by a strong manufacturer’s guarantee for consumer protection and one that has been shown to have effective results for real users.
