Pros:

Goes on under makeup
Dries fast
Smells good

Cons:

Tends to peel when you apply a lot or don't rub in well

This product is absoulutely wonderful! I have been using it for about a month and it has helped me out so much. I initially bought it for acne scars but it has not only helped even those out it has also cleared my acne up. I'm going to buy my second tube today and hopefully in another month all my scars will be gone!

Pros:

it really does help your skin! no joke, i'm 25 and still have occasional acne breakouts but with other acne cures i rid myself in about 2-3 days or so.

Cons:

i mainly have acne scars on my cheeks, man...does this stuff ITCH! it feels like its making your skin tighter hence the itch sensation. Beauty hurts i suppose?*shrug*... smell is acceptable considering they don't use perfume or anything synthetic.

It really does work, you just have to endure the 'skin pull' sensation which will generate an itching sensation to where it's applied. Here's what i do: at night either wash your face in the shower/bath or over the sink with your acne medication before you're about to go to sleep, then apply mederma (guys, shave in the shower FIRST); put a fresh clean towel over your pillow case and sleep on it. I wish i had known sooner, because my breakouts and acne were being caused by my pillow cases, since i was lazy to change my pillow cases, i used the towel that i dried myself with as a pillow case, and my skin started clearing up. Scars using mederma started clearing up, not miraculously, but they are starting to smooth out.

Pros:

light, not bad smelling, clear, works

Cons:

not as good results on acne scars v. regular scars... then again, the acne scars are older and I am not done usig mederma...

Works good on old or new scars, but expect to wait a while for good results. On a scar I got on my knee, this worked GREAT and now the fairly new scar is barely visible when before it was very light compared the rest of my tan skin. :)

Pros:

It works very well to get rid of newer scarring quickly. It does not itch IF you massage it into your skin.

Cons:

I haven't seen it work on the older scars (yet).

Hey! I noticed a lot of you said it stings, burns and itches when you put it on. If I just put the gel on and smear it around quickly it stings, but if I massage it into my skin for (at least) a good 30 seconds it doesn't sting at all. Hope it helps.

Pros:

it has faded my acne scars pretty well in a shorter time than i expected though they are still somewhat noticeable

Cons:

It was itchy the first few times i used it but you really have to rub it in and Im not to fond of the smell or the price

Try to be consistent (at least 3 times a day) and be very patient for results. I have been dealing with acne scars for three years or so after being of acutane. Being in college this didn't really help my self-esteem but after using this product for about a month i have seen more results than with any other product ive tried

Pros:

It works after about 2-3 months but thats only on face, I havent tried it on the body yet.

Cons:

It's expensive!

$20.00 for this is so expensive but other than that it works after a couple months and it's pretty good. But I had a posion ivy scar and it didnt work on it yet so idk I might have to keep trying on it. But for acne yeah it works and it doesent make you break out and you can use it as a moisturizer and it wont break you out.

Pros:

Been using generously for two weeks and has significantly faded a scar on my nose. I can't wait to see what happens in a few more weeks!

Cons:

Very expensive. If I'm going to use it for another 4-5 month on other scars I have to maybe purchase 4 tubes. at 20-30 bucks a tube, thats around 100+ dollars on Mederma.

It works! Give it some time. It's a miracle product, but just give it time...

Pros:

It works!

Cons:

Slight itchyness

I have super sensitive skin so am not able to use it more than twice a day due to itchyness. I have used it for a couple months now and have had some scars completely disappear and the others have lightened quite a bit! Now my skin doesnt even break out it's AMAZING, love it!
