Important: Kelo-cote® should not be applied to broken skin. If an infection is present, treat it before starting Kelo-cote® treatment. Do not apply other products underneath Kelo-cote®, as it forms a barrier that prevents absorption.

The Science Behind Kelo-cote®: Siliclear Complex™
The Siliclear Complex™ is the foundation of Kelo-cote®'s efficacy. It is a patented blend of silicone ingredients, including long-chain polymer liquids, volatile, and solid silicones. This formulation, combined with a specialized manufacturing process, creates a waterproof, semi-occlusive layer that adheres well to the skin. The gel's spreadable consistency is gentle on the skin, ensuring a smooth, non-tacky finish that does not cause pain or discomfort during application.
The Siliclear Complex™ mimics the benefits of silicone sheeting without the bulk or inconvenience, providing a custom-fitted protective layer that aids in scar healing and prevention.
