Can Allantoin 0.5% gel soften scars?

Compound allantoin gel contains 0.5% allantoin. Allantoin is a humectant and keratolytic agent that can promote cell regeneration and repair damaged tissue. Allantoin gel can help soften scars and promote their healing. Allantoin gel can improve the appearance of scars by moisturizing the skin and promoting the renewal of the stratum corneum. It promotes new cell growth and reduces excessive scar tissue formation. In addition, allantoin has anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant properties that can relieve itching and discomfort. However, scar treatment is a complex process and results may vary from individual to individual.
