Pros:

It lightens the area you treat.

Cons:

Must be used three times a day. Hard to use on such a small/tiny spot when it must to be rubbed in. Made my skin peel, discolored in a sense. The fragrance is not to my liking. Rather expensive.

I've used this with mixed results. After a few days the spot being treated would flake and peel, exposing new skin but not scar fee. It would usually be lighter and off color than the surrounding area. If it wasn't rubbed in, the gel would sit on top of the skin and flake off. After researching for reviews of the product, many have found its not better than rubbing a onion on your scars, the key ingredient of Mederma. In addition, I also read that keeping the scar moist prevents dark spots which leaves me to use Neosporin instead.

Hi. I have or had a bacterial infection which i am on antibiodics for called Hidradenitis Suppurativa. It is an embaressing problem in which blisters, cysts, and pimples form on my anal region. After I have been on antibiodics for about a month, I have not broken out much but I am left with about 8-10 ugly scars on my butt. It makes me self consious about being in a relationship and such, so I started using Mederma today and I am hoping soooo much that it will make the large acne scars go away. Having this condition has really hurt my self esteem while being in college. So I will get back to you guys soon if I see any changes on the scars. Let's all hope Mederma does miracles!!!

Pros:

clear gel, not heavy

Cons:

leaves skin slightly dry and flakey

I have been getting nasty pimples for years and against better judgement, I had popped several to relieve the pain that they caused. Unfortunatly, I have acne scars left behind. I got mederma just to try it out and see if it helped any. So far I haven't seen dramatic improvement, but I have noticed that my skin is smoother and that the scars have lost some redness. I am happy with these results because the directions clearly state to apply 3-4 times a day for many months. Since I wear makeup, I cant apply very often, so I expect this process to take longer.

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.
