Pros:

After 2 weeks, I am seeing significant improvement in a 2 yr old red spot. I am thrilled.

Cons:

can flake if you used too much or don't rub it in thoroughly. A small price to pay. Don't use the cream as it contains comedogenic ingredients.

I used to pick pimples which left me with some ugly red marks. They weren't raised or indented, but I had them for almost 2 years. I have been ussing Mederme Gel 3-4 times daily with a q-tip and now I can barely see the spots. I am so happy. I was considering chemical peels and lasers, but was reluctant because I scar so easily. I tried this stuff as a last resort, not expecting it to do jack. I am shocked. Seriously, buy it.

Pros:

Lightens marks- prevents picked pimples from leaving red marks

Cons:

price- lightens skin around pigmented areas too

Mederma works. I had severe hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and was very worried- even paid 400 for laser which didnt work- I got skrewed..... But honestly- picking pimples- tempting but BADDDDDD- but if you rub mederma on with a Qtip right on the effected part (rub rub rubbbbb! and then when it dries add another dab on top) I put this on at night before I went to bed and the next day my red marks were significently faded! talk about fast! just dont use it over a big area or it will fade the rest of the skin too! I have olive toned skin- it worked for me! i'm going to continue using it as I have a huge scar a cyst left behind and it's been 2 days and helped a huge deal with that already! better than scar erase! good luck!

Pros:

It works!

Cons:

You have to use it 3-4 times a day.

The only con is that you do have to put it on 3-4 times a day, but I'm not complaining, because I have been struggling with these scars for years now, & I'm greatful to finally find something that actually works! It has been absolute misery the last few years, never ever leaving the house without makeup, but now, I'm almost to the point where I don't mind it:) I haven't had many bumps in awhile, but the scars made it look like I had them everywhere! So, it was just as bad. Since I've only been using Mederma for 3 weeks, my face still isn't perfect, but at this rate, I think it will be soon. Bottom line, try it! It's not expensive, & it works!

Pros:

I have acne scars and a really uneven skin tone. mederma has taken away much of the redness and I've only been using it for a couple of weeks. Some of my acne scars are fading too. It smells really fresh and doesnt break my skin out either.

Cons:

I'm not sure if it's working on my pitted acne scars.

I can't put it on three times a day.

Buy it.

Pros:

It smells great - it's easy to put on - and if you apply it correctly, it evens out your skin tone. I've had red acne scars all over my cheeks for two years, and this stuff is making them fade away!

Cons:

If you don't rub it in until it dries, it WILL flake and make your skin unbelievably itchy. Just be patient, and be sure to apply it as much as you can throughout the day.

IT WORKS.

Pros:

I don't really have scars from acne, just red marks. It's made them less purple and more to the color red.

Cons:

I can't apply it 4x a day. It makes my skin red wherever its been after i get out of the shower.

Hmm. I can use it when I don't have a breakout and I do see a difference in a week or so. I just absolutely hate that it leaves my skin SUPER itchy

Pros:

I enjoyed the fragrance, very floral. It helped get rid of old and new scars on my face only a little bit. It dosen't make my face break out.

Cons:

Texture is harsh especially when it dries, i might be putting to much on. Dosen't improve the surface texture of my skin. Much to expensive for such a little tube.

It'll work if you have slight scars. It seems to take awhile to see full effects.

Pros:

First Day with the product, will keep you updated with the results

Cons:

Slight Odor
Not much of a burning or itching sensation if you rub it in for about 30-60sec

First Day with the product, will keep you updated with the results I have semi deep scars and ice pick scars on my face less than a year old. I will update on how things go. From most of the testimony this product is a miracle, but i will have to see in order to believe
