I use Mederma and Contractubex, zero results. It's for hypertrophic scars not for acne scars !!!!!!!

Mederma actually caused my skin to break out in a rash, so if your skin is sensitive it may make your hyperpigmentation worse. I wouldn't use it for anything except for the intended use: raised (hypertrophic) scars.

Note, I actually have raised scars and I still don't use it because it's so irritating to my skin.

Really? My dermatologist recommended it to me for my hyper pigmentation and she said it was perfect for it. I do not have sensitivite skin. Out of curiosity, is there anything other than AHA that I can buy at the local store that would help with hyper pigmentation and not have problems with over sun exposure?

Your derm recommended it? I don't know who she is but it doesn't sound like she's up on her skin care products.

I'd just go with Eucerin or one of those brands that actually is supposed to deal with redness. I agree with blahblah, it sounds like an ill-advised recommendation.

Thanks to both of you, I'll try Eucerin. I was surprised- I guess she isn't up to date!

Thanks again
