Pros:

Work's Fast. I have used it for 2 weeks and have already been seeing great results. Very self concious about my skin. I have had scars from acne for about 10 years and it works on old scars.

Cons:

Skin does get itchy at times, also dry. I still continued to use it with no problems.

This is a great product. Ive tried alot of things and this is probably the only one that has work effectively. Ive been to many dermatologists and nothing has compared to this.

Pros:

It seems to be working on my scars a little, they are old, and i am going to give it more time. I have only used it for about 2 weeks, but the scars do seem harder to see.
I have the new kind the smell is kinda tropical. I don't love it, but it's

Cons:

Wellll. While it doesn't agrovate, burn, or make my skin itch, it does tend to like...get kinda flakey like a peeling sunburn. It doesn't bother me too much.

It is a good product that may or may not work for you. It tends to make some people itchy while it makes others skin worse. I believe it just depends on the type of skin you have. Mederma is doing well for me so far, and I highly recommend it. What's there to lose?

Pros:

I just started using mederma 2 1/2 days ago, so can't really say yet.

Cons:

ITCHY!! REDNESS ON CHEEKS!

Does anyone have the same situation happend to them using Mederma?? I'm using it on my cheeks for acne scars that were left from when I was in high school. I'm 24 now, so the scars are pretty old. Anyhow,I've noticed that my cheeks turn red and after awhile my cheeks begin to itch. I try not to rub but when I do it,the mederma lotion comes off like in flakes. IS THIS NORMAL?? Someone help me please I want to know if I should stick with the itchyness and redness or should stop using it. Also, I've noticed alot of people have commented on the odor, but mine doesn't have any odor. I'm wondering if the company of the product fix the odor problem or if my something is wrong with my mederma??

wow, okay. im 15 and i have a very mild case of acne. the 3 pimples a month that are large kinda thing. but, however, i do tend to pick at pimples and i had about 6 large scars on my forehead. i bought mederma and guess what?! I now have severe acne!

THANKS MEDERMA FOR TOTALLY SCREWING UP MY ALMOST GREAT FACE! wow...it works for some people? just ask a pharmacist about it and they'll tell you if it'll work for you. my skin is sensetive...maybe thats why. I dunno...

Pros:

I have always been ashamed of my scars from teenage acne. 2 weeks ago I began using Mederma on the deep pits on my cheeks. I keep it on 24/7 and reapply throughout the day. I am consistant with my treatment. Very pleased! Face is so smooth!!!!!!!!

Cons:

No Cons with this product! Scent is fine and got used to film over scars! That just reminds me its doing its job! Mederma has changed my self esteem. Just after 2 weeks I cant tell amazing result. I will continue this treatment for months longer! :)

I never looked in the mirror without being reminded of those ugly acne scars. Just after 2 weeks I am shocked at the improvement! My face has always been pitted with ugly scars. I dont know how this stuff works but I am so impressed! I recommend Mederma but in order to receive good results you must be faithful in using it. I wash my face each morning and them apply a small amount to the scars. When I go to the bathroom I always reapply a tiny bit to the areas just to make sure its on there good. It stays on all day and night. I wanted fast improvement so I decided to just keep it on all the time! I have never been so impressed with a product in my life! Faaast improvement!!! I have spent thousands of dollars on laser treatments to help these scars but only Mederma has came through for me! $20 a tube is a cheep price for smooth skin on a woman who has always dreamed of a clear and smooth complexion. Mederma has made my dream become reality. Thank you Mederma!! Highly Recommended!!

Pros:

I used the Mederma for Kids so there was rather a fuity smell left and another plus was no film was left after drying. Results were visible in just a week!

Cons:

I have a pretty busy day and so putting this on three times a day proved a little difficult. Another things with the kids version was that you have to be careful that too much doesn't come out at one time.

My scars covered my arm. I had been reduced to always wearing long sleeve shirts to hide the scars. With the summer coming on I really wanted to be able to wear short sleeves again. After two weeks of use I didn't feel the need to pull down my long sleeves any more. After just three weeks I can not even see half the scars any more. This product worked great.
