Usage
Once daily, or as needed, apply a small amount evenly to affected area. Do not apply to broken skin.
Complete your regimen with a SkinCeuticals sunscreen. When used in conjunction with SkinCeuticals Advanced Scar Control, a broad-spectrum sunscreen helps shield the skin from UV rays that can negatively impact scar healing by increasing discoloration and uneven texture. 1,2,/p>
