Top 5 best healing creams

You’re probably already aware of the importance of healing creams for the health of damaged skin. These products have the power to stimulate the healing process of wounds, burns or even acne scars. They can also improve the appearance of old scars. In this article, we take a look at the best healing creams on the market.

• Healing takes place in 4 successive biological phases

• Well-moisturized skin heals faster (HAS)

• Healing creams fight infection and promote regeneration

• Some treatments are specific: face, acne, post-operative

• In the case of deep or persistent wounds, the advice of a dermatologist is essential.

The healing process is the body’s natural response to repair skin damage. It takes place in several phases: the inflammatory phase, the proliferative phase, the contraction and epithelialization phase, and finally the scar remodeling phase. Healing creams intervene throughout this process to facilitate and accelerate skin repair.

Thanks to their antibacterial active ingredients, they help fight infection right from the inflammatory phase. During the proliferative phase, they promote tissue regeneration thanks to their content of hyaluronic acid and other natural ingredients. During the contraction, epithelialization and remodeling phases, these creams nourish and moisturize the skin, softening scar tissue and helping to reduce scar marks. It’s essential to choose the right healing cream to benefit from all these advantages.

The cream’s effectiveness alone is not enough; it must be applied correctly and thoroughly absorbed. It is generally advisable to clean the wound with an antiseptic solution before applying the healing cream. What’s more, some facial healing creams are specially designed to treat acne scars, while others are more suitable for post-surgical scars or burns. So it’s important to read the product label carefully before you buy. Finally, don’t forget to consult a dermatologist or doctor in the event of a deep wound, serious burn or if the lesion doesn’t seem to improve after several days’ application of the healing cream.

There are also gels specially formulated to fade acne scars, such as A-Derma’s Dermalibour gel or Cooper’s Aureocyde. Finally, natural remedies such as honey have proven effective in accelerating skin healing and killing bacteria. It’s advisable to consult a dermatologist to choose the skin care product best suited to your skin type and the severity of your acne.

After surgery, applying a post-operative cream is a major challenge. To choose the best post-operative healing cream, several criteria need to be taken into account: efficacy, composition, texture and price. Several brands stand out for their quality:

• Kelocote:

  Kelocote is a brand of skincare products specializing in the treatment of scars, particularly keloid scars. Keloids are raised scar tissue formations that can be both unsightly and uncomfortable. What makes Kelocote so special is its ability to create a protective film over the scar, providing an optimal environment for skin regeneration. This protective film acts as a barrier against external aggressions, such as pollution or friction, which can delay the healing process or worsen the condition of the scar. It also maintains an ideal moisture level, which is crucial for the skin’s suppleness and elasticity. By maintaining adequate hydration, Kelocote helps reduce the red or purplish appearance often associated with keloid scars, while minimizing itching and discomfort. Kelocote’s effectiveness in the treatment of keloid scars is supported by clinical studies, making it an option recommended by many dermatologists and healthcare professionals. It is generally advisable to apply the product directly to the clean, dry scar, following the manufacturer’s instructions or the recommendations of a healthcare professional for best results.

• Ialuset by Ibsa :
  Ialuset by Ibsa is a skin care product distinguished by its hyaluronic acid content, a component naturally present in the skin that plays a crucial role in maintaining its hydration and structure. Hyaluronic acid is the main component of the fundamental substance of the dermis, the layer of the skin that provides support and elasticity. In the context of wound healing, Ialuset’s hyaluronic acid has remarkable properties, making it an ideal ally in the treatment of skin lesions. One of the most notable features of hyaluronic acid is its ability to act at all stages of the healing process. In fact, it promotes cell proliferation and epithelial cell migration, key steps in the repair of damaged tissue. In addition to its regenerative properties, Ialuset’s hyaluronic acid accelerates the re-epithelialization of skin lesions. Re-epithelialization is the process by which the skin regenerates to form a new epithelial layer, which is essential for wound closure and infection prevention. Hyaluronic acid creates a favorable environment for this regeneration, maintaining optimal hydration levels and reducing inflammation.Ialuset’s effectiveness in treating skin lesions is corroborated by clinical studies, making it a treatment option recommended by many healthcare professionals. It is generally advisable to apply the cream directly to the affected area, following the manufacturer’s instructions or the recommendations of a healthcare professional to achieve the best possible results.
