Improving your scar starts here
Skinuva Scar+ SPF has all the benefits of the original Skinuva Scar but with added non-nano Zinc Oxide for broad spectrum SPF 30 UVA/UVB protection. Skinuva Scar+ SPF has been specifically formulated for areas exposed to the sun such as the face, neck, and hands to minimize the darkening effects associated with sun exposure and help reduce the appearance of redness and hyperpigmentation.
Skinuva Scar+ SPF helps prevent sunburn in sun-exposed scars. If used as directed with other sun protection measures, Skinuva Scar+ SPF decreases the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Physical sunscreens are mineral based (such as Zinc Oxide, found in Skinuva Scar+) and sit on the surface of your skin acting as a shield or reflective barrier on the skin’s surface, protecting the skin from the sun’s rays. Chemical sunscreens partially absorb in the skin and prevent UV damage through a chemical reaction.
-
To see optimal results, Skinuva Scar+ SPF should be applied twice a day for 3-6 months. It may be used longer for more mature scars. Please follow the instructions for use when going outdoors in direct sunlight. If you are going to be outdoors in direct sunlight, it is recommended to apply Skinuva Scar+ SPF every 2 hours while remaining outdoors.
-
Skinuva Scar has been studied and found to be safe for use after laser procedure, chemical peel, or microneedling. Although there is no reason to believe there would be any issue with the use of Skinuva Scar+ SPF after these same procedures, it has not yet been directly studied and therefore we cannot recommend its use at this time.
-
Zinc Oxide is very effective against both UVA and UVB rays, therefore it is a broad-spectrum sunscreen. It’s also very well tolerated on skin and safe for use in everyone, including child-bearing women and children.
