Excellent product I have sensitive skin and so many things irritate me but this doesn’t
Also had a couple of big scars one was still covered when I started using this cream and can see a major difference on the scar that I was moisturising first

Alhydran, Medical Retention Cream 250ml, Tube
This is excellent cream that really gets down layers of your skin to repair my scar after having a Masectomy. It's well worth the money. It's unlike any other creams on the market.
The service from this company is excellent too. Fast and efficient. I highly recommend!

Amazing Product
A great product, helps smooth and moisture the scars deep under the skin
The 250ml ALHYDRAN bottle is the largest size in the range – ideal for long-term scar management, extensive burn areas, graft sites or when multiple family members are using ALHYDRAN. It delivers the same clinically tested medical moisturiser and scar treatment cream trusted in hospitals and burns units, in an economical format for ongoing daily use at home or in clinic settings.
The 250ml size is designed for high-use and large treatment areas. It’s the best option when ALHYDRAN has become part of your long-term scar care routine or when you are treating extensive burns or multiple scars.
Ongoing burn scar management across larger body areas
Daily care for skin graft sites and long surgical incisions
Supporting radiation-affected skin over wider treatment fields
Households or clinics where several people use ALHYDRAN
Professionals wanting a reliable scar treatment cream on hand in practice
For many customers, the 250ml bottle becomes their “main” ALHYDRAN – used as a daily scar recovery cream while the smaller 30ml and 100ml tubes are kept for travel or specific areas.
How ALHYDRAN scar removal cream works
ALHYDRAN is a powerful, clinically proven medical retention cream and scar removal cream. It combines deep hydration with barrier repair to support long-term recovery of damaged or sensitive skin.
Penetrates deeply to restore moisture levels in the upper skin layers
Helps normalise transepidermal water loss (TEWL)
Softens and smooths skin affected by burns, surgery, grafts, radiation or acne
Reduces feelings of tightness, itching and dryness across large areas
A healthy skin barrier
A healthy skin barrier holds a stable amount of water and shields against external irritants. When that barrier is disrupted – as with burns, surgery or radiation – more water escapes, the epidermis dries out, and skin becomes tight, itchy and prone to scarring. ALHYDRAN is formulated to help restore this balance, even when treating extensive scarred skin.
When the skin barrier is severely compromised
After burns, surgery, grafting or radiation, the skin barrier can be significantly damaged. The body loses an abnormally high volume of water through the skin, the natural water content of the epidermis falls, and the barrier can no longer function properly.
Typical symptoms include:
Intense itching, irritation or burning
Redness and inflammation over large areas
Dry, tight or flaky skin that feels uncomfortable
Slower wound and scar healing, with increased risk of unfavourable scarring
Skin in this state needs intensive hydration and barrier restoration to recover. ALHYDRAN scar cream is widely used in burns centres and rehabilitation clinics, and the 250ml size is ideal for continuing that care at home as part of a long-term scar management plan.
The hydrating effect of ALHYDRAN
ALHYDRAN has a dual action, both essential for repairing a disrupted skin barrier:
Optimal hydration of the epidermis
Support for sustained barrier recovery over time
Clinical studies show that ALHYDRAN can restore the moisture balance within 2 hours, thanks to:
Powerful hydration from high-concentration Aloe Vera gel
Moisture retention via gentle occlusion (“water-locking” effect)
Antioxidants and high-end natural oils help protect the skin from free radicals and support elasticity. Together, these effects reduce the risk of scarring, ease itching and discomfort, and promote optimal wound and scar healing – particularly important when you’re using a scar treatment cream on a large surface area every day.

ALHYDRAN ingredients
ALHYDRAN is a medical cream with a base of 100% fresh Aloe Vera gel. This gives the scar cream strong moisturising properties and a mildness particularly suitable for damaged and vulnerable skin.

Fresh Aloe Vera from Aruba ›
ALHYDRAN contains more than 45% Aloe Vera gel, the highest possible concentration. The Aloe is grown on the world’s oldest plantation and processed immediately after harvesting, so active ingredients are preserved.
Using fresh gel – not powdered concentrate – is key to ALHYDRAN’s intensive moisturising and skin-supportive properties, especially important when used as a long-term scar cream on large areas.

The ALHYDRAN line also includes high-end natural oils and antioxidants to support long-lasting moisturisation and elasticity.
Vitamin E & Vitamin C
Antioxidants to help neutralise free radicals
Natural oils, such as Jojoba oil, to support suppleness
The cream is non-greasy, does not stain clothing and can be easily washed off with water — ideal when you are applying scar treatment moisturiser multiple times per day.
Many people in New Zealand use the 250ml ALHYDRAN as their main scar cream NZ option for long-term care of burn scars, graft sites and extensive surgical scars.

The 250ml size is ideal if you are treating large burn scars, graft sites or multiple surgical scars, or if more than one person in your household is using ALHYDRAN regularly.
How long will the 250ml bottle last?
This depends on the size of the area and how often you apply, but many users find the 250ml bottle appropriate for longer-term daily use on extensive treatment areas.
Can I use it after surgery, burns or radiation?
Yes. Once the wound has fully closed, ALHYDRAN is commonly used as a post-operative scar cream, burn moisturiser and radiation skin care cream to keep skin soft, supple and comfortable.
Is the 250ml version different from the 30ml and 100ml?
No – all sizes use the same clinically tested formula. The difference is simply how much product you have on hand for your scar removal cream routine, with the 250ml bottle offering the best value for high-use situations.
Always follow advice from your healthcare professional for personalised scar and skin management plans.
