Scars, we all have them, and not all are created equal. Some tell stories of adventure, others of surgeries or skin setbacks. But no matter their origin, one thing’s for sure, they can become even more noticeable in the summer sun. That’s where smart scar care comes in. This season, skip the basic creams and level up your skincare routine with two standout, doctor-approved solutions that are as hardworking as they are sun-savvy.
Silagen Gel + SPF 30 UV Protection, $66.00
Think of Silagen as your scar’s bodyguard, only sleeker and a whole lot more stylish. Trusted by dermatologists and plastic surgeons from coast to coast, this gold-standard post-procedure gel is specially designed for high-visibility, sun-prone areas like your face, chest, neck, and hands. Its claim to fame? It’s the very first silicone gel with mineral-only SPF 30, meaning it gives scars powerful UV protection without chemical sunscreens. That means less discoloration, less thickening, and more confidence.
Formulated with medical-grade silicone, it hydrates and flattens, dries quickly, and won’t leave you sticky or shiny. Plus, it’s fragrance-free, vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free, so basically, it plays nice with everyone. Whether you’re beach-bound or brunching al fresco, Silagen makes caring for your scars as easy as applying sunscreen.
NewGel+ UV Summer Bundle by MyNewGel, $75.00
Why settle for part-time scar care when you can have it 24/7? Enter the NewGel+ UV Summer Bundle, a dynamic duo made for those who want continuous results with minimal fuss. This smart little kit features two complementary solutions: NewGel+ UV gel for daytime use and silicone sheeting for overnight recovery.
The daytime gel pairs medical-grade silicone with mineral sunscreen to protect and fade scars, perfect for exposed skin and on-the-go days. Lightweight, non-greasy, and easy to layer under makeup or SPF, it’s made for active summer lives.
At night (or under clothing), switch to the NewGel+ 1” x 6” strips. These self-adhesive, reusable silicone sheets are clinically proven to soften and flatten scars while you sleep. They’re hospital-trusted, easy to trim, and made in the US, with zero chemical nasties.
Whether your scar is old or new, subtle or significant, these two pro-level picks deliver round-the-clock care with a side of sun protection. Because your skin deserves more than a one-size-fits-all solution, especially in summer.
