broke me out!!
I had no problems with this product flaking off or making my face itchy. It absorbed into the skin quickly and the awful smell faded away after a short while. Only problem I had was that it broke me out! I would be careful with this if you have acne prone skin.

Pros:

Works well on newly formed scars/marks!
Used it once before and really helped diminish my acne mark, now using it to diminish a minor burn mark :/
Accidents happen right? That's why we have products like this haha!

Cons:

Time, Time heals all they say! DO NOT pick at the scar while it is trying to heal, otherwise it will get worse or take even longer to heal (learned from experience)

This product is great. I bought the one with SPF because it is simply worth it. The one with skin protection helps your guarantee you will not permanently discolor your scar. I actually did not buy it for acne this time, I have before and it healed one of my scars beautifully I bought it because I put a new product on a little part of my face and it literally chemically burned it! I am now left with this hideous minor burn, but this should really help it heal faster and better. Do not get Neosporin, Neosporin has an ingredient in it that can cause break outs and irritate the skin, Mederma should not do that at all.

Pros:

Reduced redness AT FIRST
Smells nice
Little goes a long way
Can wear under makeup

Cons:

Cost
Itchy skin
(used for acne scars) Caused a bad bumpy rash all over my face after about 3 weeks. The redness that disappeared after 3 weeks returned 10 fold. My face hurts and feels burnt and looks worse than it did before. I'm so disappointed. :(

Be careful with this product. I can't recommend it, sadly.

Pros:

Cooling effect, not messy.

Cons:

No visible change: used it for post surgical scar.

Probably good for very small scars and recently acquired scar, it is definitely not for post surgical scars.

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:

as soon as i get home, i wash my face and i put mederma on. i re-apply about 3-5 times before bed. it REALLY DOES WORK! i have been using it for about a week and im seeing improvement already on old and new scars. and even on exising acne! i love it.

Cons:

i dont like the smell. and sometimes it causes my skin to itch. but it DOES NOT irritate it. i think its just the medicine working. it doesnt cause my skin to turn red or break out. it just itches. but i try my best not to scratch it!

if i honestly had one product for skin care to swear by... it would be mederma. not only has it lightened my existing facial marks... its cleared up my skin. i cant say it'll do the same for you. but it has truly worked wonders for me. even my friends have noticed the difference! i hope that this review will encourage someone else to purchase this amazing product!

Pros:

no pros

Cons:

It broke me out terribly. I just used it for 3 days and it broke me out. My left cheek got many pimples because of it. I can't believe it, now I don't want to go out any more.

Never try any mederma product again

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!!
