It softens the skin and adds moisture. It also works as a mild cleanser for dry, sensitive skin, and it helps cut down dryness so the skin feels soft and smooth.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Scar creams like Cepalin + Allantoin usually work by reducing the tension on the scar. They do this in three ways. They add moisture to soften the upper layer of the skin, they form a protective barrier that keeps that moisture in, and they help cells regenerate and remodel the connective tissue below the scar. Some products also protect the sensitive skin on the scar from photodamage. If you want to know what's in your own scar cream, look at the typical ingredients that provide these functions.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Cepalin + Allantoin falls under Pregnancy Category C. Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus, and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans. Even so, the possible benefits may justify using the medicine in pregnant women despite the possible risks.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
