A damaged skin barrier

When the skin barrier is disrupted, the body loses an abnormally high volume of water through the skin. This results in a drop in the skin’s natural moisture levels (epidermal hydration), causing the barrier to become dysfunctional. Without this protective layer, the skin becomes vulnerable and unable to heal or defend itself effectively.

As a result, common complaints like itching, redness, inflammation, and dry skin occur. This ongoing irritation can contribute to unfavourable scar development, trigger eczema flare-ups, and delay the healing process—especially after surgery, burns, or acne.

In order to recover, the skin needs both deep hydration and support for barrier function restoration. That’s why choosing a clinically proven hydrating scar cream, like ALHYDRAN, is essential for reducing long-term damage and promoting smoother, healthier skin.

THE HYDRATING EFFECT

ALHYDRAN has a dual-action formula, both essential for repairing a disrupted skin barrier:

1. Optimal hydration of the epidermis

2. Skin barrier recovery

Scientifically proven to restore the skin’s moisture balance within just 2 hours, ALHYDRAN delivers:

• Powerful hydration

• Moisture retention through occlusion

This intensive hydrating effect is what makes ALHYDRAN a leading choice for acne scar treatment, burn recovery, and post-surgical scar care.

ALHYDRAN scar cream also contains key antioxidants, which protect the skin against free radical damage while supporting regeneration. These restorative properties, combined with deep moisturising and occlusion, allow the disrupted skin barrier to effectively rebuild itself.

As a result, the risk of scarring is reduced, existing scars and discomfort like itching and redness are soothed, and triggers for eczema and delayed wound healing are minimised—supporting faster, smoother recovery for all skin types.

ALHYDRAN ingredients

Aloe Vera-Powered Scar Treatment

ALHYDRAN is a medical-grade scar cream made with a base of 100% fresh Aloe Vera gel. Aloe Vera provides deep, long-lasting hydration and a natural mildness that makes it especially suitable for damaged, sensitive, or healing skin.

Fresh Aloe Vera from Aruba

We use only the highest quality Aloe Vera, sourced from the oldest plantation in the world, located in Aruba. This premium Aloe Vera is carefully selected because it meets the highest standards of skin care—and is ideal for scar healing.

ALHYDRAN contains over 45% fresh Aloe Vera gel, the highest possible concentration used in skincare. This exceptional level of active ingredients is what makes ALHYDRAN so effective for treating scars, including acne scars, burn scars, and post-surgical scars.

Importantly, we use fresh gel, not powder concentrate. The Aloe Vera is processed immediately after harvest to preserve its full potency—ensuring that no beneficial properties are lost.

Other Active Ingredients

In addition to Aloe Vera, the ALHYDRAN scar cream formula includes a carefully selected blend of natural oils and antioxidants that enhance its unique, long-lasting moisturising effects.

Key ingredients include:

• Vitamin E and Vitamin C – powerful antioxidants that help protect the skin from free radical damage and support healthy skin regeneration

• Natural oils, such as Jojoba oil – deeply nourishing and ideal for restoring the skin’s natural barrier

These ingredients work together to enhance skin elasticity, improve resilience, and support overall scar healing. ALHYDRAN makes the skin feel soft, smooth, and supple—especially beneficial for skin with reduced elasticity due to trauma, burns, surgery, or ageing.

This medical-grade scar removal cream is extremely mild, non-irritating, and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and allergy-prone skin. It does not stain and is easily washed off with water, making it practical for daily use.
