Affordable moisturizers outperform costly scar creams in healing, study finds.
A University of Adelaide study published in Burns Open finds that affordable moisturisers like Redwin Sorbolene and Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream are as effective or more effective than expensive scar treatments at normalizing transepidermal water loss, a key factor in scar healing.
The research tested eight products, including high-cost options like Strataderm Scar Therapy Gel, which ranked near the bottom despite its reputation.
Experts call the findings a "game-changer," emphasizing that consistent, long-term use of low-cost moisturisers can improve scar appearance and comfort without financial strain.
While silicone gel sheets remain the gold standard, they are not moisturisers.
The study supports accessible, evidence-based scar care, especially as public figures help reduce stigma around scars.
