Product guide · Topical gel with mineral sunscreen
Silicone scar gel combined with zinc oxide mineral sunscreen — made for scars that see daylight, such as the face, neck, chest, arms and hands.
New scars can darken with sun exposure. Silagen designed this gel to pair silicone scar care with zinc oxide, a mineral sunscreen, and states it contains no chemical sunscreens.
It is aimed at visible, exposed areas — face, neck, chest, arms and hands. Silagen also offers a “Day & Night” pairing: SPF gel during daylight hours and Pure gel at night.
One important distinction: a scar-care routine and a sunscreen routine are not the same thing. Sunscreen has its own application and reapplication directions in its Drug Facts. Applying scar gel twice a day does not, by itself, mean you are protected all day.

Use it only once your surgeon confirms the incision is fully closed and you can begin scar care.
Clean, dry skin; a small amount spread evenly over the scar; let it dry before clothing or makeup.
Sunscreen reapplication follows the Drug Facts — especially after swimming, sweating or towel drying.
If your surgeon suggests the Day & Night approach, Pure gel is the overnight step. Never layer gel under sheets.

It is a sunscreen product, but the area it covers is your scar. Follow its Drug Facts for reapplication, and use your usual sun protection on surrounding skin as your care team advises.
You can ask. Silagen’s suggested pairing uses SPF gel during the day and Pure gel at night, when sun protection is not needed.
