Strut Scar Formula is a compounded medication that combines prescription and non-prescription medications in a pharmaceutical-grade scar-targeting gel. Strut Scar Formula may help reduce the pigment, size, and improve the texture of scars, making them less noticeable when used regularly and as prescribed.
Strut Scar Formula is a physician and pharmacist crafted combination of medications that target various aspects of scars, blended into a silicone-based scar gel. Triamcinolone is a topical steroid that may help reduce, flatten, and soften scars. Levocetirizine may help reduce the overgrowth of scar tissue during the healing process and reduce itchiness. Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a potent topical antioxidant and natural skin brightener that may lighten the pigment of a scar and help it blend in.

Apply a light coating of gel to clean, dry skin scar location, once daily at bedtime, or twice daily, as directed by your doctor. Wash hands after application. Follow your doctor's specific orders if you are unsure how to use the medication.
