Pros:

-Prevents acne scars from newly-popped pimples
-Very light feel
-Can wear it as a UV protectant
-Can use on cuts/marks around the body

Cons:

-Pricey
-You have to act quick! -Won't do much/takes a long time to see any effect on old scars

I would reccomend this to anyone who is getting acne for the first time or wants a light UV protectant with an added bonus. Too slow/not porwelful enough for old acne scars.

Pros:

dry out quickly
Clear acnes and blemishes
Quick result
Nice smell

Cons:

You have to apply 3-4 times a day
Peeling when you dont rub it well into your skin

Well, I actually just apply it 2 times a day cos it takes me so long to apply it (I have scars all over my face) since you have to rub it for about 1 minute. I find this one the best product Ive ever used. I could see the result just after 4 days and it was amazing. This gel even cleared out my blemishes since it contains allantoin. I actually did some research and this is a natural, non-toxic and safe mechanical which can sooth your skin and wipe away the acnes If you are allergic to onion or your skin is too sensitive to it, then this gel isnt for you, it may cause you irritation, redness and even more breakouts. Other ingredients in the gel are also non-toxic and safe for your skin. In my case, I think Im gonna be a long term customer of this brand. Just so happy with the result!

Pros:

Goes on under makeup
Dries fast
Smells good

Cons:

Tends to peel when you apply a lot or don't rub in well

This product is absoulutely wonderful! I have been using it for about a month and it has helped me out so much. I initially bought it for acne scars but it has not only helped even those out it has also cleared my acne up. I'm going to buy my second tube today and hopefully in another month all my scars will be gone!

Pros:

Might be worth trying on certain types of scar.
Not oily.

Cons:

Might be a mere placebo.

I had some acne nasty scars on my cheeks. A few weeks of this products didn't seem to really do anything. I recommend trying other products listed on this sites such as MaMa lotion.

Pros:

Works well for ACNE SCARS
get a bang for your buck
not at all irratating
easily put under make-up
works with other products

Cons:

3-4 times a day is a little tedious
cost is a little high
takes a couple weeks

I have used Mederma on my big, red, bumpy acne scar in the left area of my forehead. My scar was very embarrassing and lowered my self-esteem quite a bit. I used Mederma for about 2 weeks and my scar is almost completely gone! I sometimes only apply twice a day, but it seems to not effect the process much. It works very well with my other products such as Retin-A micro, and causes no irration! I would reccomend this product for anybody with moderate acne scars! P.S. When using product, I put on Mederma last, so it doesnt get rubbed off!

Pros:

Helps acne scars!

Cons:

None

About a year ago I started getting acne due to stressors in my life. I then developed the terrible habit of nitpicking any little pimple on my face...which in turn has left me with minor (but still upsetting) red marks/scars that take forever to go away. I have never felt so insecure in public situations. Since I always read reviews online for products, I read all of these and decided it seemed worth the $ to try it. I have been using it for 3 days and have already noticed a drastic difference in the coloring/appearance of these scars! Definitely worth the money. I will keep using it and am excited about the results I will continue to see. (Side note: I don't mind the smell or the fact that it sometimes itches---with everything good you have to take the bad--and getting rid of these dark spots is worth it!!)

Pros:

works great!

Cons:

very itchy!

I am a light skinned African American and I have very sensitive honey complexion skin so when I get a pimple it scars very easily. I had three scars for all a few months old and nothing else I tried eliminated the scars. I put the Maderma on before bed and I when I woke up the next morning and looked in the mirror I noticed peeling where I put the medicine. I actually peeled the skin away revealing new skin and the scar was almost completely gone!

Pros:

it really does help your skin! no joke, i'm 25 and still have occasional acne breakouts but with other acne cures i rid myself in about 2-3 days or so.

Cons:

i mainly have acne scars on my cheeks, man...does this stuff ITCH! it feels like its making your skin tighter hence the itch sensation. Beauty hurts i suppose?*shrug*... smell is acceptable considering they don't use perfume or anything synthetic.

It really does work, you just have to endure the 'skin pull' sensation which will generate an itching sensation to where it's applied. Here's what i do: at night either wash your face in the shower/bath or over the sink with your acne medication before you're about to go to sleep, then apply mederma (guys, shave in the shower FIRST); put a fresh clean towel over your pillow case and sleep on it. I wish i had known sooner, because my breakouts and acne were being caused by my pillow cases, since i was lazy to change my pillow cases, i used the towel that i dried myself with as a pillow case, and my skin started clearing up. Scars using mederma started clearing up, not miraculously, but they are starting to smooth out.
