ok ive been following this post for awhile...everyone wants to know if they work on scars, and it doesn't seem like anyone out here has been using it long enough to know for sure. which is o.k. i'm willing to wait! 3mos is a long time,but if it takes care of your scars at least 20% it'd be worth it for me. ..if they do it would be a miracle. am curious if they would give results as good as or better then dermabrasion? does anyone know the expected results? thanks..off to watch court tv

Healtysceptic,
I just want to tell you I appreciate the comments you've made...even if they seem to be a little pessimistic, I think you are making valid points. It's important to remember that our money has been earned, and worked hard for...and to see it go to waste on another product that doesnt work would be disheartning.

I agree with you. I cringe each time a treatment becomes flavour of the month without any convincing evidence. Ive been on this board for several months and Im still to see any convincing before and after pics anyone has posted for anything aside from my own before and after scalpel excision pics and old guys Restylane pics.
Bottom line, when something like the 302 drops comes along, with such obvious doctored photos, it has all the hallmarks of every other scam out there. Just becuase we are desperate for help in diminshing our scarring doesn't mean we should throw reason out the window. And that is all I will say about this.
Hi All,
9 Week Update!!!
People usually say, come back in x weeks and report. So I waited 2 weeks. I was surprised to see so many negative posts from people who haven't tried the products. After reading the previous messages, I guess I'm not going to try to influence anyone. To those that are using the products, maybe I can offer a glimpse of how it goes.
As of today, some of my scars have actually disappeared. These were the rolling type. They seem to fill in the quickly. My ice picks are still there, but the holes are smaller. The cleanser also must clean out the pores well, because my nose is almost clear of blackheads. The pores on my nose appear smaller. Nice benefit.
So at this point, this is totally rejuvenating my skin. I look much more refreshed in general AND the scars are filling in!
My first cleanser bottle lasted 8 weeks and I still have a couple of days left of the first bottle of drops. So it seems to be cost effective. I did 7 rounds of Smoothbeam and V-Beam and saw nothing. This does something. And quite well.
I guess after nine weeks, I can safely say that this just isn't a quick cosmetic effect. It definitely is doing what it says it will.
Take care,
Synch
synchroboy, that is great news!! I have some boxcars, and hoping to see improvement in 2 that are right next to each other. I was wondering if you think some of the improvement could be from the residual collagen building effects of having the smoothbeam and v-beam treatments. How long ago did you have the series? I have been using the products for about 10 days and am noticing better tone and clarity now. I had a test spot of Vbeam done on a little scar and haven't seen any improvement. I am not an advocate for lasers right now either.

This is indeed GLORIOUS, WONDERFUL news!!!! I have noticed some of my indent scars on my left cheek looking smaller. It is too early for me to tell though. Plus I have a bad breakout on my right temple right now so i'm not looking great. However, I too am hoping this will work for me. Shyana, was not having results after about a month, however, from her post I think she said the breakouts were aggravating her from the cleanser. She discontinued the cleanser and things did get better after that from her post. We need to find out if she is noticing similar improvement too. She could be the key to proving this as she is an esthetician and, therefore, I value her opinion very highly. She has been on this about a month now which is usually fair game for noticeable improvement. Shyana, if you're out there let us know how u r doing.
Another thing, I am trying to monitor my weight closely. When I gain weight it tends to go straight to my face. This can have a camouflaging effect on the scars as well. I do feel a bit heavier today and am hoping this improvement isn't due to that.
I don't see how any topical can get rid of calcified whatever. Please. And avocado? He must think we are morons. I have used avocado masks before and I have scars still. Cue Richard to tell me how they get special enzymes and proteins from the avocados utilizing a special chemical technique that targtes scar tissue in the dermis. ()
Is there anyone in this study that has been here for a bit? Or are the participants all relatively newcomers? I'd really like a showing of exactly who is in this"study."
It is a shame to see, but do understand all of the negative comments in this thread. I know what it's like to be taken in so many times, and have such high expectations, only to be disappointed and out of money.
I though that I am a rational human being (with all my degrees). But reading this thread is like being on a rollercoaster - once, I agree with all the reasoning behind all the skeptics. (Then I thought to myself that I did ill-advised purchase.)
Next time I read some posts of the people who seem to be having progress in terms of diminishing their scars.............
I did buy the product, have been using for the past week - and so far no improvement whatsoever.
I am male, 31 years old, having all kind of possible scars.
So far, I did only one procedure to improve my scars - I had collagen injections like 10 years ago. It was a huge mistake - I spent over $4,000 for those injections (2 rounds) and everything faded after 2 months. The doctor who performed those injections was a total asshole, because he never informed me about such a possibility. (I forgot his name - I got his address from the subway ad in NYC)
I was young, inexperienced and he took advantage of it.
Those protein drops will be my first resort to improve the scarring since these unfortunate collagen injections. I know this is comparable risk free investment (in terms of the initial investment;-) - if I lose, I lose only $60 not $4000. (Although I hate when someone takes advantage of me).
If it does not work - I will probably try fraxel..........
I am at this point of my life, that I can afford any type of treatment, but I cannot afford a down-time (invasive procedure).

I too have not noticed any real improvement on the scars yet after using it only a week. I think a week isn't enough time though. However, my tone and complextion are improving. I do have initial complexion improvement even though now I am at a setback with these breakouts on my right temple and forehead. Are you having issues with complexion and red marks or breakouts still? Interestingly, Richard said for some reason men respond very well to this. Just an interesting finding of his. My complexion overall looks much better though Even though I am a skeptic, this improvement is not being overlooked.
