I bought the Prequel Scar Stick after getting flooded with videos showing scars looking visibly smoother and lighter almost immediately.
And honestly? The stick format alone sold me. Scar sheets are annoying, scar gels can get messy, and I liked the idea of something quick that I could just swipe on without thinking too much about it.
But after actually using it, I realized the experience is a lot more subtle than social media makes it seem.
Key Takeaways
- The stick format is genuinely convenient compared to scar gels or sheets
- It feels soothing and creates a protective layer on the skin
- I noticed slight softening and reduced redness over time, but nothing dramatic
- The amount of product feels small for the price
- Overall, it works better as a consistency-focused scar product than a miracle treatment
What is the Prequel Silicone Scar Stick?
The Prequel Scar Solutions Silicone Scar Stick is a silicone-based scar treatment designed for healing scars, stretch marks, post-blemish marks, and discolouration. It contains 60% silicone along with ingredients like onion bulb ferment, centella asiatica compounds, and bisabolol to support skin recovery and reduce redness.
Why I Tried It
I wanted something:
- easier than silicone sheets
- less messy than scar gels
- and realistic enough for daily use
Most scar treatments fail because they’re too annoying to stay consistent with, so I was hoping this would solve that problem.
My Experience Using It
The first thing I noticed was how smooth the application felt.
It glides over the skin almost like a balm, and because it’s silicone-based, it leaves behind that soft protective layer that makes the area feel moisturized and sealed without being overly greasy.
That part genuinely impressed me.
It also made scar massage easier, which I ended up doing naturally while applying it. And honestly, I think that convenience is the product’s biggest strength.
Because unlike sheets or gels, I actually wanted to use this consistently.
Now, in terms of results, they were gradual. I noticed some improvement in redness and texture over time, especially on newer marks. Things looked slightly softer and calmer, but not dramatically transformed.
And that’s where the disconnect started for me.
The marketing online makes it seem like scars visibly disappear quickly, but in reality, this felt more like a slow maintenance product that helps support healing, not some instant correction stick.
I also started noticing how little product you actually get.
The tube is small, and if you’re using it regularly on larger areas, it goes down faster than expected. That became frustrating because it’s one of those products where consistency matters most… but consistency also means rebuying fairly often.
By the end of it, my overall feeling was… good formula, convenient design, realistic but modest results.
Texture, Scent & Feel
Smooth balm-stick texture with a velvety silicone finish.
Fragrance-free and comfortable on the skin. Leaves a protective film without feeling overly sticky.
Product Claims vs. Reality
Helps soften scars → yes, gradually
Reduces redness → somewhat noticeable
Convenient daily use → absolutely
Dramatic transformation → overstated online
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Extremely easy to apply
- Less messy than gels
- Comfortable silicone finish
- Encourages consistency
Cons
- Small amount of product
- Expensive long-term
- Results are gradual
- Social media hype feels exaggerated
Is It a Scam?
No, but social media definitely exaggerates what it can realistically do.
The core ingredient here is silicone, which actually is considered one of the more established scar-care approaches for helping retain moisture and improve scar appearance over time.
So the science behind the concept is legitimate.
The issue is expectations. A lot of TikTok-style content makes it look like scars rapidly flatten or disappear after a short period, when scar healing usually takes weeks or months of consistent treatment.
And based on user discussions online, many people seem to agree that the biggest benefit is the convenience rather than dramatically superior results:
“Effectiveness seems to be about the same” compared to gels, but “easier to use.”
Some people also mentioned preferring traditional silicone tape for stronger results, especially on surgical scars.
So no, it’s not fake, but it’s definitely more of a practical silicone scar treatment than a miracle product.

Conclusion — Would I Recommend It?
Yes, but only if you go into it with realistic expectations.
If you hate scar sheets and want something convenient enough to actually use consistently, this honestly does a good job. That convenience alone makes it easier to stick with than a lot of scar treatments.
But if you’re expecting dramatic overnight fading because of TikTok videos, you’ll probably end up disappointed.
For me, it felt less like a miracle product… and more like a well-designed silicone scar treatment that works slowly and quietly in the background.
