My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Isispharma's Keloplast Scars SPF 50 repair cream is primarily intended for skin with recent or old scars, whether post-surgical, post-acne lesions, or following dermatological procedures. My analysis of the formulation highlights a dual action: very high sun protection (SPF 50) and support for skin repair. This positioning is relevant because sun exposure is a factor that aggravates pigmentation and the persistence of scars. The «bandage effect» texture aims to isolate the damaged area, thus promoting an environment conducive to regeneration.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three major assets catch my attention. First, the duo titanium dioxide and zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum photoprotection, which is essential for preventing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation of scars. Next, the biosaccharide gum-4 forms a biomimetic protective film on the skin's surface, limiting dehydration and external aggressions. Finally, the extract of’stinging nettle (thistle) is known to stimulate skin repair and improve the quality of healing. The combination of these active ingredients, reinforced by the presence of moisturizing glycerin, justifies the quality of the product for the treatment of scars exposed to the sun.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying Keloplast Scars in the morning and/or before sun exposure, on clean, dry skin, in a generous layer on the area to be protected. It is compatible with moisturizing or soothing skincare products, but I do not recommend using it immediately after applying exfoliating active ingredients (acids, retinoids) to the treated area, so as not to further weaken the skin barrier. Reapply every two hours in case of prolonged exposure.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

The strengths lie in the very high mineral photoprotection, the barrier effect, and the synergy of repairing active ingredients. One possible drawback: the texture may leave a visible white film, which is inherent to mineral filters, and the presence of certain fatty substances may not be suitable for very oily skin or skin prone to active acne. In conclusion, this is an expert, safe, and effective treatment for optimizing healing under sun exposure.
