What's the difference between Biocorneum vs. NewGel?

Both Biocorneum and NewGel+ products use silicone as the main ingredient to heal scars and help fade them. One of the main differences between NewGel+ and Biocorneum is the existence of SPF in Biocorneum exclusively, and the types of scars they both treat. The key ingredient in Biocorneum is FDA-Cleared Silishield© Technology that crosslinks silicone and has SPF 30 protection. This technology advances the benefits of traditional silicone sheeting through an easy-to-use gel. This medical-grade silicone helps to keep the skin around a scar hydrated and helps to control excessive collagen formation that can lead to abnormal scarring. Biocorneum’s other active ingredients include Octinoxate 7.5%, Octisalate 5.0%, Octocrylene 10% and Oxybenzone 6.0%. Together, these ingredients work to provide the skin and scarred area with SPF protection necessary for a scar to heal and to prevent discoloration. It also comes in a formula with 1% hydrocortisone to relieve itching. Biocorneum should be applied on the affected area twice a day and allowed to dry completely to form a flexible, protective shield.

Does this product work on surgical scars?

Yes, this product is designed for use on acne scars, trauma scars, surgical scars, wounds and burns whether they're old or new scars.

How quickly does Biocorneum work?

Biocorneum is shown to provide results within 60 days of regular, 24 hour use for new scars and 90 days for old scars. We recommend using the product for 24 hours per day to achieve the best results.

Does Biocorneum contain steroids?

The active ingredient in this product is a topical steroid mixed with a silicone gel that is FDA approved to treat scarring.

Can I use Biocorneum on my face?

Yes! We think Biocorneum is one of the best scar treatment options for the face because it also contains sunscreen to protect your skin and scars from any harmful rays.

How long does Biocorneum take to dry?

Biocorneum should dry on the skin in 3-5 minutes.

I've applied twice a day to a fresh scar on my son's forehead since his 3 stitches came out. Recommended by the PA-C who stitched him at the ER and also later by our plastic surgeon for deeper and facial scars such as this vs Mederma. Too soon to know how it'll ultimately turn out as the PS said it takes 6 months-1 year for a scar to fully form, but no adverse reactions on his sensitive 4 year old skin and the scar is still a light red color but does not appear to be darkening at all. We were told the best we could really hope for is for the scar to heal the same color as the surrounding skin. Also this product from DW is legit and the texture and dry down is really different from a bottle I tested from Amazon at half the price. You get what you pay for. This one is a creamy white consistency whereas the Amazon one was separated and mostly clear with white streaks. This one also dries smooth and more matte vs the Amazon looks shinier and stays tacky. Took off one star due to price and that it's hard to find a legit one online.

I tried so many different products for my post-surgery (mastectomy, diep flap and breast reconstruction) scars and nothing really compared to this. No matter what I tried, I ended up going back to biocorneum. There's really no better product out there for this kind of scar treatment. I get the largest size and it lasts for months but I only use it once a day (but I also have alot of scars!). The spf is a plus, and I had no reaction to it. I'm pretty sensitive to SPF. So, honestly it may be on the pricey side but that's because it's really the best product out there for these types of scars.

Found a recommendation on Dr. Hochstein's instagram that convinced me to give Biocorneum a try. I am applying the product on 6 month old surgical scars in the underarm area. The actual silicone strips would not stay in place in this area. This gel is the solution. Apply gel and it dries to give you the silicone covering that they say is great for scar reduction. Would also be ideal for face as there is sunscreen in it. Friend of mine is using it for post skin cancer scars. I noticed an immediate difference just in 2 days of use and look forward to the long term results. I also apply Vitamin E high concentrate, let is absorb and then apply the gel.

Product Description

BIOCORNEUM Advanced Scar Treatment works to heal scars with Silishield® patented silicone technology through a soothing and nourishing gel texture.

BIOCORNEUM is more than an ordinary scar treatment. Unlike other silicone scar treatments, BIOCORNEUM utilizes the first silicone technology that comes as a soothing gel. When applied, this silicone gel acts like a shield to the outside world from your scar-whether it be new or old. While protecting the scar, this silicone technology eases redness and discoloration of the area, all while working to diminish the appearance of scars from surgery or injuries. On top of that, it protects the area with SPF 30 sunscreen, assisting in shielding the area from sun damage that can interfere with the healing process.

Why DermWarehouse Loves BIOCORNEUM:

Whether a scar stems from a burn, injury, or surgical procedure, it can be frustrating. BIOCORNEUM offers a non-surgical but clinically proven way to help reduce the appearance of scars, and the best part is that it works on both old and new scars! The silicone works to hydrate and protect the area while also preventing excess collagen from forming, which causes the appearance of a scar. The gel formula is soothing and protects the area as well as a silicone patch. We also love the fact that the product contains sunscreen to protect the skin from sun damage.
