Savlon Scar Prevention Gel is a hydro-active colloid gel designed to support the natural healing process of minor cuts, grazes, superficial burns and other minor wounds, helping to reduce the likelihood of scarring. The gel creates an optimal moist wound-healing environment by balancing moisture levels—hydrating dry wounds while absorbing excess fluid from wet wounds—to promote faster healing and soothe pain.
Suitable for the whole family, the non-stinging gel can be applied directly to the wound and covered with a plaster or dressing if required. It is intended for use on minor wounds and superficial burns, and should not be used on infected or heavily weeping wounds unless advised by a healthcare professional.
