Developing a product for the look of marks

This is a high-risk area for claims. Scars are a medical matter in most markets, so a cosmetic range should only speak about the look of marks and how even skin looks, never about scars or medical outcomes.

Formats that suit it

  • Serums and essences with niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3. See private label serums.
  • Creams and emulsions for a nourishing daily step. Browse moisturisers.
  • Toners as a light, repeatable layer.
  • Balms with panthenol (provitamin B5) for a cushioned, comfortable feel.

Texture and pairing choices

Pair an evening serum with a daytime moisturiser and sunscreen, since sun exposure affects how even skin looks. Keep exfoliating acids to one step, and advise sunscreen on labels where acids are used.

Packaging

Droppers and airless pumps suit serums. Opaque or airless packs are common where a formula includes oxidation-prone ingredients such as vitamin C.

Claims that need evidence

Only say a product helps the look of marks. Do not use the word scar in claims, and do not describe medical outcomes. Any claim about how quickly the look of marks fades needs instrumental or consumer testing. Some ingredients used in marks-focused products are restricted or classed as medicinal in certain markets, so confirm each ingredient with your regulatory adviser. Read how product development works or ask about custom formulation.

Questions about the look of marks products

Can a product fade scars?

Not as a cosmetic claim. Scars are a medical matter in most markets. A cosmetic product can be described as helping the look of marks and helping skin look more even. Keep the word scar out of claims and confirm wording with your regulatory adviser.

Which ingredients are common in products for the look of marks?

Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, is widely used, along with panthenol, vitamin C derivatives and gentle exfoliating acids. Some ingredients used in this category are restricted or classed as medicinal in certain markets, so check each one for your destination market.

How long until customers see a difference?

We do not give timelines. Any claim about how quickly the look of marks fades needs instrumental or consumer testing on the finished product. Until then, describe the routine and how skin looks and feels, and suggest daily sunscreen as part of it.
