• Dermatologist tested formulation
• Non-silicone gel technology

What is it?

The Gel-Care® Advanced Patch is an occlusive gel-based scar care patch intended for external use on closed, healed skin. It combines a medical grade mineral oil gel with a blend of botanical oils, antioxidants, vitamins, and emollients. Together, these elements are designed to create a moist, protected environment over scar tissue while providing gentle cushioning against friction and contact.

Unlike traditional silicone sheets, this patch uses a non-silicone gel formulation. The self-adhesive gel layer conforms closely to the skin surface, helping the patch stay in place during daily activity without the need for additional tapes or fixings.

Who is it for?

This patch is suitable for adults who are managing the appearance and comfort of scars once the skin surface has fully healed. It is commonly chosen by individuals who prefer a reusable option and those with sensitivities who wish to avoid silicone-based products.

It may be particularly relevant for people experiencing discomfort such as itching, tightness, or sensitivity over scarred areas, especially where clothing or movement causes irritation.

What does it help with?

• Surgical scars: May help condition and protect scar tissue during daily wear.
• Injury-related scars: Supports hydration and comfort of healed skin.
• Burn scars: Provides a cushioning barrier that can reduce friction.
• Acne scarring: Helps maintain a moisturised skin surface.
• Stretch marks: Designed to support skin conditioning over time.

How does it work?

The patch works by forming an occlusive layer over the scarred area. This barrier helps limit moisture loss from the skin surface, supporting a hydrated environment that is commonly associated with improved skin flexibility and comfort. The gel layer also provides a soft cushioning effect, which may help ease sensations such as itching or burning that are often reported with scar tissue.

The inclusion of botanical oils, antioxidants, vitamins, and emollients is intended to condition the skin and support its natural barrier function. The conforming backing material allows the patch to adapt to body contours, supporting consistent contact with the skin.

Expected comfort and use timeline

First use: On initial application, the patch may feel cool and cushioning. Mild awareness of the patch is normal as the skin adjusts to occlusion.

Short-term use (first few days): Many users notice reduced friction and a calmer skin feel, particularly in areas prone to rubbing or dryness.

Ongoing use (weeks): With regular, appropriate use, the patch is designed to support continued skin conditioning and comfort. Visual changes to scars vary between individuals and depend on factors such as scar age, location, and skin type.
