A scar can look healed on the surface long before it is finished underneath. Through maturation, the disorganised collagen laid down during healing is slowly replaced with fibres that sit in a more regular pattern, and this is what makes a scar paler, softer, and less noticeable over time. Retinol supports that process by encouraging surface turnover and more orderly collagen organization, but it is too strong for fresh or fragile skin. For that reason, any anti scar cream after surgery that contains it belongs at the end of the routine, and Scar Protocol holds it back until the final phase, when the barrier is mature enough to benefit.
As a scar healing cream built for the maturation stage, Phase V delivers retinol inside a cushioned, lipid-rich base. Shea butter, jojoba oil, and sunflower oil reinforce the barrier, while panthenol (vitamin B5), aloe, and vegetable glycerin keep the scar hydrated so retinol does not dry or sensitize the skin. Senna seed extract, a plant-derived humectant, holds water at the surface in a similar way to hyaluronic acid. Green tea leaf extract and propolis add antioxidant and soothing support, and silicone forms a light film that keeps everything in place overnight. Because Phase V is formulated for maturation alone, it differs from a general-purpose moisturizer, and that stage-specific design is what many patients look for when comparing the best creams for surgical scars.
Dr. Javad Sajan, a renowned plastic surgeon, had spent his career in the operating room with thousands of surgeries. With those surgeries came thousands of incisions closed with precision. And thousands of patients sent home with the same instruction every surgeon gives: "Here's an ointment. Use it twice a day."
But something kept bothering him.
A scar on day seven looks nothing like a scar at week six. A scar at month four behaves nothing like a scar at month ten. In those early days, the skin is raw and inflamed, begging for moisture and protection. Weeks later, it's rebuilding collagen at full speed, sometimes too much of it. Months on, it's remodeling, fading, flattening, still changing beneath the surface. Each of those stages has different needs.
And yet patients were handed one tube and told to make it work for all of them.
So Dr. Sajan did what surgeons do. He solved the problem. He formulated a complete, phase-by-phase post-surgical scar treatment, one that changes as your scar changes. Each cream is timed to a specific window of healing, with ingredients chosen for exactly what the skin is doing at that moment. With years of research and testing, Scar Protocol became the first full scar reduction protocol of its kind.
Not a cream. A system. The way surgical scar care should have always been done.
