What they have in common
Based on each product's own published information:
- Silicone gel in a tube. Both are silicone gels supplied in a tube.
- Closed skin only. Neither is for open wounds.
- Cosmetics over the dried gel. Once the gel has dried, cosmetics can be applied over either one.
Key differences
Based on each product's own published information:
Squalane and a vitamin C derivative. Scarless lists squalane, an olive-derived emollient, and a stable vitamin C derivative. The ingredient list on Cimeosil's US product page names neither.
Sizes. In the US, Cimeosil is sold in 5 g and 14 g sizes. Scarless comes in a 15 g tube.
Application compared
Each manufacturer's own instructions, side by side:
- How to apply. Scarless: squeeze out a small amount, spread a thin layer over the scar and rub in gently until it dries. Cimeosil, according to its US usage instructions: wash the area and pat it dry, apply a very small amount with a clean fingertip, and gently wipe away the excess, since too much may stain bedding or clothing.
- How often. Scarless: two to three times a day. Cimeosil: twice daily, in the morning and before bedtime.
- How long. Scarless: two to three months, and longer for established scars. Cimeosil: a typical regimen is 60 to 90 days of daily use, and use can continue longer.
- Over the dried gel. Scarless can be covered with cosmetics or sunscreen once it has dried. Cimeosil's US FAQ says make-up can be applied once the gel has dried for about 15 to 20 minutes. See how to apply Scarless.
What the evidence can and cannot tell us
Silicone as a class. Silicone gels and sheets are widely recommended in scar-management guidance, particularly for hypertrophic scars and keloids. However, systematic reviews have found that the certainty of evidence for some outcomes is low or very low.
The ingredients beyond silicone. The research on squalane and on vitamin C derivatives looks at the ingredients themselves, not at Scarless as a finished product.
A direct comparison. No published study comparing Scarless and Cimeosil directly has been identified.
Scarless may help improve the appearance of scars. More on the research, and its limits, is on the published research page.
Which may suit whom
Each has documented features that may matter to different people:
- Cimeosil may suit someone who wants a smaller size: in the US it is sold in a 5 g size as well as 14 g. It may also suit someone who prefers a twice-daily routine, or who wants silicone gel sheets as well as a gel, since its range includes gel sheeting in a variety of shapes and sizes.
- Scarless may suit someone who wants squalane and a stable vitamin C derivative in a silicone gel. Sunscreen may be applied after Scarless has dried.
- If you are not sure which suits your scar, a pharmacist or doctor can advise.
Frequently asked questions
