It actually works really well on PIE (post-inflammatory erythema) acne marks
I broke out badly sometime in October 2016 and it took me roughly three months to get my acne under control. Unfortunately I was left with horrible PIE (post-inflammatory erythema) which were tiny, flat red/pinkish marks. They simply wouldn't go away and they were far more damaging to my self-esteem than the actual acne. I tried everything to get rid of them but nothing worked. I also used 100% natural aloe vera gel and although that helped somewhat it wasn't an end all be all solution. I hid away for months, refusing to go outside or socialize. It wasn't until my grandmother randomly purchased Mederma for me. I was skeptical because I've tried just about every gel known to man to rid myself of these horrible marks on my skin. Still, I decided why not? I initially only started applying a small amount on my acne marks before bed. Within the first three days I was immediately surprised just how much Mederma has lightened my acne marks! I stepped it up to twice a day, once during the day and once more before bed. By the second week the redness of my acne marks had drastically subsided. I'm now on my third week of using Mederma and I'm incredibly happy with the results! I've managed to regain some of my self-esteem and started going out again after being a recluse for nearly six months. My only regret is wishing I had found out about Mederma earlier. I highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with stubborn acne marks, particularly those that are of the red/pink variety. If you have fresh acne marks this will do the trick. I'm not entirely sure about old ones, though. Needless to say you will see some results at the very least!

Pros:

Helps acne scars!

Cons:

None

About a year ago I started getting acne due to stressors in my life. I then developed the terrible habit of nitpicking any little pimple on my face...which in turn has left me with minor (but still upsetting) red marks/scars that take forever to go away. I have never felt so insecure in public situations. Since I always read reviews online for products, I read all of these and decided it seemed worth the $ to try it. I have been using it for 3 days and have already noticed a drastic difference in the coloring/appearance of these scars! Definitely worth the money. I will keep using it and am excited about the results I will continue to see. (Side note: I don't mind the smell or the fact that it sometimes itches---with everything good you have to take the bad--and getting rid of these dark spots is worth it!!)

Pros:

It works, I saw an improvement in just 5 days!

Cons:

I could not stand how itchy it made my face after I put it on! After two weeks I had to stop using the gel!

I am still using mederma, but the cream with spf. I heard a rumor that the cream was not itchy or bothersome, and it is true! It not only works, but also does not itch at all! My scars are fading quickly! VERY SATISFIED WITH MEDERMA CREAM!

Pros:

My skin looks so much clearer!

Cons:

The gel itches like crazy!

I use it every night after washing my face and using moisturizer. The first time I used it I put it on alone & my face was too dry for it to work. You have to use moisturizer before putting it on. And I would suggest putting it on at night because it peels when you move your face and it itches. When it itches, DON'T itch it! Touching your face will cause it to break out more. I heard it doesn't work on indented scars, but I don't have those so I'm not sure. I also heard you're supposed to rub it in alot. YES, IT STINKS, but I love that because fragrance/perfume is very bad for your face/acne. Anyway, my face looks clearer by reducing scars instead of pimples. Maybe I had more scars than pimples.

Pros:

This is a great solution to get rid of acne scars. It works great on oily skin. I am not sure, how good it is for dry skin.

Cons:

Skin gets somewhat flaky. You need wash you skin with plain water by rubbing it to get the flakiness out. Also apply moisturizer on those areas.

Its the best solution for acne scars, I came across so far. Its very cheap and less risky compared to lasers or chemical peels or other scar removal techniques.

Pros:

IT WORKS! I had several serious spider bites with deep scaring. I used Mederma on 1 of the bites and the scar completely went away while the other 2 bites are still scarred. I also am using it on scars from infection and its working great there too!

Cons:

none really, even though its a bit pricey the fact that it works makes it worth every penny

I use this daily, it has improved my self esteem and let me get rid of some terrible scars that affected my esteem, I am grateful that I have Mederma.

Pros:

It really does fade acne scars! It also makes my skin more even toned.

Cons:

It is a little pricy, but well worth it.
Applying it 3-4 times a day is very tedious.

I started using mederma on my acne scars over 2 weeks ago. I dont really get acne anymore and I have 3 years worth of acne scars left. And even if i dont have any active acne on my face, the scars make it look like i have alot of acne on my face. This gel doesnt make my acne worse, so thats good. I have noticed that my acne scars are much less red and i only apply mederma once a day. I cant really apply it 3 times, so i just apply it once before i go to bed. The price is well worth it, I much rather spend $30 once in a while for a tube of mederma that to have ugly acne scars. I have very light skin, so mederma doesnt make my surrounding skin lighter. Give this a try~
