Pros:

Easy to apply, can be worn under makeup

Cons:

Skin peeling.

The product works. Since mederma fades skin, I used to Q-tip to apply the gel only to my acne scars. My skin became very dry and peeled, however, the scar underneath was significantly lighter. Side note: I'm African-American. I will continue to use Mederma.

Pros:

IT WORKS, IF YOU GIVE IT TIME

Cons:

ONLY CON IS THE PRICE BUT IT WORKS

FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND THEN POST A REVIEW PEOPLE!!! You have to apply it 3 to 4 times a day for 8 weeks even for new scars, old scars is 3months minimum, so dont post a review is you cant follow directions!!!! It doesnt smell, and it wont itch as long as you dont mix it with lotion (don't put it on immediately after or before another product, rub it in and let it dry before you but clothes back on or other products) I have been using it for 7 years on various scars and stretch marks and it works wanders. The scar (im african american) is closer to my skin tone instead of puffy and white, and it is half the size. When i was a teenager i only used it twice a day and it still worked after 3 months. I have had some large stratch marks and scar, which makes it more expensive but worth it.

Pros:

It works on Back and chest acne really well! I love it!!

Cons:

It really itches when you don't rub it in well, it peels, and the fact that you have to put it on 3-4 times daily.

I have acne on my Face, Chest, and Back and recently I stopped getting acne on my chest and back but im left with scars and I really needed something to take it away before the summertime comes, so far its working really well!

Pros:

Smells nice, got rid of the redness in my skin, makes my skin very soft,

Cons:

Pricey, have to use it 3-4 times a day, can itch your skin if you don't rub it in well enough

It's pretty good, as long as you can take on the challenge of putting it on 3-4 times a day.

Pros:

Works on scars, helps get rid of the red spots left over by acne.

Cons:

it is expensive for larger tubes, the consistency does not lend itself well to easy application.

I use this mostly as a night treatment. I rub it in on my spots, and leave a little bit drying on the top. I apply it once a day and it works fine for me. The only problem I had was on the nights I applied benzoyl peroxide and it left a burn spot on my face. Other than that, it works very well and one tube last a long time.
