Its advanced moisture-balancing formula supports optimal skin repair, making it a trusted choice for effective first aid and scar prevention. ## Description Promotes faster healing and helps reduce the likelihood of scarring. Its hydro-active colloid gel creates optimal healing conditions. How to use: Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly, gently apply the gel using clean hands, do not massage. Gel can be applied once or twice a day. If required cover the wound with a bandage or plaster. Store in a cool dry place. Do not use on extensive weeping or infected wounds unless recommended by your doctor. If necessary, cover the wounds with a plaster or dressing and change daily. Savlon Advanced Healing Gel can be used for dry or wet wound: In case of a dry wound Savlon Advanced Healing Gel turns the dry wound into a moist one (hydrogelInches effect). The dry wound absorbs the water contained in Savlon Advanced Healing Gel. In case of a wet wound, the hydrocolloid of Savlon Advanced Healing Gel is activated and consequently Savlon Advanced Healing Gel absorbs excessive fluid from the wound and restores the water balance in the wound (hydrocolloidInches effect). Do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients. Hydrocolloid particle that swell upon absorption, Tri ethanol amine: PH adjuster. While allergic reactions are rare stop using and seek medical help if you experience: difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, tongue or throat, dizziness, skin irritation or rash. Precautions For external use. Side-effects such as irritations or allergic reactions are rare. Do not use the Gel on the eyelids or in the eyes. If Savlon Advanced Healing Gel comes into contact with the eyes, rinse the eyes with running water and consult a doctor.

Review: Nous ne nous en passons jamais à la maison - Il s'agit d'un produit que nous avons à la maison depuis de nombreuses années en raison de son application universelle. Il existe désormais une version améliorée sous forme de gel, que nous trouvons tout aussi efficace et certainement plus pratique. Recommandé Review: Incredibly good - I'm not a big reviewer of items I buy on desertcart or elsewhere, but in this case I feel I must register how exceptionally (and unexpectedly) good this stuff is. It's a clear gel with a very mild medicinal scent which basically forms a thin, transparent, flexible and breathable (water-based) film or membrane over the wound and my god does this make an incredible difference to how fast even nasty, open, festering wounds heal. My skin is hyper sensitive, super thin and super fragile and silly things which would cause the most superficial graze on normal people end up as a oversized, deep, bleeding and festering mess on me that takes several weeks or even months to heal. This happened recently on my upper inner thigh: an open wound nearly 3cm long and 1.5cm deep that was constantly rubbing against my other leg, my clothing and whatever I happened to be sitting on, and over a course of a week was getting worse and worse until it was dripping with pus and possibly infected (sorry if this is too much information). I was too embarrassed to go to the doctor given its location but very anxious as it was hurting so badly that I couldn't sleep and was in a constant sweat and it was getting ever worse by the day, and as mentioned above my skin just does not heal itself in anything like a normal fashion. The instructions inside this Savlon gel (which is indicated for 'minor' wounds, but my mum disputed that mine was 'minor' by this stage) said that it can be used on both dry and wet wounds (other products didn't specify this). I have applied it twice a day after my baths and put a gauze dressing over the top and it has been nothing short of miraculous. When I started using it the skin within the open wound was basically gooey, pus-ridden mush and had been for several days, and within 24 hours of using this Savlon gel it started to noticeably solidify/dry and show clear signs of stabilising and healing as well as a reduction in pain - amazing! 48 hours later and it was entirely solid (albeit still soft of coursse) with dramatic healing evident. 72 hours later and the difference is extraordinary - the skin where the wound is is level with my surrounding skin (previously it was gaping with what appeared to be several layers of skin just gone or mushy and collapsed inward) and looks like new, pink, baby skin has formed over the wound and it no longer hurts much. Given my usual timeframe for healing, this seems nothing short of miraculous. Of course I shall carry on using it for as long as I feel I need to. I did take daily photos so that I could track whether things were getting better or worse, and the photos clearly evidence the difference this Savlon gel has made, but I'm afraid the photos are too embarrassing to post. Before I bought this Savlon gel, I had tried the Elastoplast wound healing ointment which is literally nothing more than a tube of pure petroleum jelly and paraffin wax, with no added medicinal ingredients. It was somewhat useful to the extent that it formed a barrier that offered some modest protection to an open wound in a place where it was rubbing against all and sundry, thus preventing healing, and it also prevented dressings from sticking to the open, festering wound (this Savlon also prevents dressings from sticking to the wound, but the Savlon does not interfere with the adhesion of the self-adhesive tape as the Elastoplast did, which is win-win). But this Savlon gel is another animal entirely and streets ahead of the Elastoplast in terms of functioning and efficacy. This stuff would also be highly effective with open blisters. I can't recommend it enough; honestly, I didn't know money could buy something so good. ## Features - Helps soothe pain - Promotes faster healing - Helps reduce the likelihood of scarring - Safe and effective for use on minor wounds, superficial burns and grazes - Its hydro-active colloid gel creates optimal healing conditions to support the skin's healing process. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001DYR15O | | ASIN | B001DYR15O | | Best Sellers Rank | #15,885 in Health ( See Top 100 in Health ) #7 in Burn Care Products | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (5,547) | | Date First Available | 17 August 2012 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 176920 | | Item model number | 176920 | | Language | English | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Novartis Consumer Health | | Manufacturer | Novartis Consumer Health | | Product Dimensions | 3 x 4 x 13.5 cm; 40 g | | Product Dimensions | 3 x 4 x 13.5 cm; 40 g | ## Product Details - **Scent:** Unscented - **Item form:** Gel - **Allergen information:** Almonds Free - **Material features:** Natural - **Unit count:** 50.0 gram ## Images ![Scar Prevention Gel, Helps Soothe Minor Wounds & Superficial Burns, Speeds Up Healing and Reduces Likelihood of Scarring (50g, 1 pack) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jvysX4-VL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nous ne nous en passons jamais à la maison *by M***Y on 8 June 2025* Il s'agit d'un produit que nous avons à la maison depuis de nombreuses années en raison de son application universelle.

The gel applies easily and doesn’t feel sticky or greasy, and it absorbs quickly, so I can get on with my day without any mess. It’s become my go‑to for everyday skin bumps and scrapes, and the results speak for themselves.
