Why Skinuva
A product built by a surgeon, for surgeons and their patients
Developed by an oculoplastic surgeon
Skinuva was created by Dr. Christopher Zoumalan, a Board-Certified Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon. Formulated specifically for the delicate periocular tissues.
Clinically proven results
In head-to-head clinical trials, scars treated with Skinuva Scar healed 73% better than those treated with silicone cream alone. Published in peer-reviewed journals.
Free of harsh ingredients
No dyes, oils, parabens, or fragrances. Suitable for all skin tones and safe for long-term use on the sensitive periocular area.
Designed for the eye area
Unlike general scar creams, Skinuva was developed with the unique anatomy and sensitivity of periocular skin in mind — thinner, more vascular, and more prone to visible scarring.

Surgeon’s recommendation
Why I recommend Skinuva
As a consultant ophthalmic surgeon specialising in oculoplastic and periocular surgery, I am always looking for products that offer my patients the best possible recovery outcomes.
Skinuva is the only product I am aware of that combines medical-grade silicone with growth factors — and it was developed specifically by an oculoplastic surgeon for use around the eye. The periocular area has thinner, more delicate skin than the rest of the face, and standard scar products are not formulated with this anatomy in mind.
The clinical evidence is compelling. In published trials, Skinuva Scar outperformed silicone cream alone by 73%, and its use reduced the need for additional steroid injections by nearly half.
I am the sole distributor of Skinuva in Ireland. You can purchase it directly through my practice, ensuring you receive a genuine product with appropriate clinical guidance.
