Avocet Avosil Scar Care Ointment-Review
Product Claims of Avosil Scar Care Ointment
Because scars can be such a personal issue for many people, makes of scar repair gels and the like have rushed products to market the world over, all hoping to get a slice of the consumer pie. The fact is that there are as many unsatisfied consumers as there are product makers, because the vast majority of products lack the clinically proven ingredients necessary to combat scarring effectively. In clinical trials it has been shown that you must repair the skin with a repair gel from the inside, as well as to nourish the skin so it self-heals externally. You’ll only get the results you are seeking if this two-stage approach is followed.
Today we review Avosil Scar Care Ointment. It is not a plant-based treatment but purports to rely on medically tested ingredients including a moisturizer with antioxidant properties. Avosil improves the appearance of scars post surgery, radiation, injury or burns. We will examine its working against the clinical framework required for scar eradication.
Ingredients
- Polyethylene glycol ointment
- sodium salicylate
- Parabens
- BHT
The clinically tested and proven ingredients are medical grade silicone, onion bulb extract, aloe vera, vitamin E, allantoin and the oils of emu, safflower, sunflower and jojoba oils. The medical grade silicone is typically used after plastic surgery to great effect and should be a separate repair gel, with the rest being in a rejuvenating cream. This exact combination is so formulated to allow deep penetration below the upper layer of skin, adequate hydration, molecular cell repair and the formation of new, supple skin cells. The silicon softens, smoothes and fades the angry looking nature of the scar.
The ingredients here moisturize and have some antioxidant properties but do not go far enough to provide the distinct two-step treatment required for maximum effect. Parabens are preservatives widely used in cosmetics, but the wide range of journal articles on effective scar treatment specifically exclude preservatives as part of the formula. This is not the only artificial ingredient either, which is again at odds with what the leading medical literature prescribes as best.
Dosage Instructions
Gently rub a 1/8 inch thick layer of Avosil scar treatment ointment on your scar and adjacent skin twice per day. Allow it to absorb before covering it with clothes or a bandage. This dosage includes none of the scientifically, clinically proven ingredients that best treat scar tissue.
Cost and Guarantee
You’ll be granted a refund if your claim is submitted within thirty (30) days from the date of purchase if the product is damaged or defective or if it is returned unused and unopened, in its original condition. This means you cannot trial the product and return the unused portion. This falls short of the highest standards of a 365-day moneyback guarantee which the top manufacturers offer, giving you adequate time to measure improvement.
A 2oz, 4oz and 12 oz size is available. The first two are in tubes with the last one being in a jar. You’ll pay $36.04, $66.94 and $123.59 for each size respectively.
Summary Of Our Avosil Scar Care Ointment Review
Avosil contains a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) derivative, which may be safe but fall far short of the more natural approach favoured in leading journals. It is very much a drug-related approach. Hopefully, it is made in a GMP-certified factory, as this certification could not be found on the website.
Ingredients do matter, with the wrong combination of them being potentially dangerous. Here the combination is as far removed clinically from what the majority of top, peer-reviewed research as proven in successful trials. There is no medical grade silicone to repair and flatten; or onion bulb extract, aloe vera, vitamin E, allantoin and the oils of emu, safflower, sunflower and jojoba oils to hydrate and rejuvenate the skin.
In addition, as much as the product is hyped up, it is questionable as to whether it stands the test time: with top manufacturers who adhere to the clinically proven ingredients confidently being able to offer a 365-day guarantee, Avocet’s is confined to 30 days, within which period it is doubtful you’d be able to make an informed decision anyway. If you decide it’s not working, unfortunately, you have no recourse as you can’t return an opened tube.
