Pros:

It does soften acne scars

Cons:

How to use directions aren't for everyone. I use it 2 times a day only and have no itchyness or red spots

At first I followed the directions. 3-4 time a day, but I found that my skin was burning and irritated. I accutally had a big red mark on my face for 2 months. When the spot faded, I decided to try again with less gel and less frequency. After doing this for a week, I noticed a big difference, and I didn't have the problems a lot of people have posted. For people who found this product to irritate the skin after following the direction, I suggest twice a day with less amount.

Pros:

Smells good

Cons:

None really

My uncle got into a motorcyle crash and used this and his face looks amazing now, he had some deep scars and now their all gone, so he passed it to me and told me to use it for my acne and I been doing it for a couple days and it doesent cause me to breakout which is amazing. You just gotta remember to use lotion or whatever you use BEFORE you put this on because it WILL itch. But other than that you should be good.

Pros:

non-greasy, smells OK

Cons:

Rub too much, or use too much, and it comes off. Doesn't work well (gets clumpy and comes off) with the use of some face lotions. (I found it works great with Cetaphil.)

I've been using it for two weeks now and can see a difference in my skin. I suffered with acne for 10 years with a lot of scaring, 'rolling', 'ice-pick' and 'boxcar' type of scars and large pores on my nose and cheeks. Just after two weeks, using it 3-4 times a day (I don't wear makeup so it's easy), my whole face looks softer. I've been applying it on just about my whole face, concentrating on my nose, cheeks and jowel area. It rubs off with use of some face lotions, but I found it works great with using Cetaphil (applying the lotion after the Mederma). I swear, I can see a difference already and am very excited about how it might look after 6 more weeks!

Pros:

None

Cons:

It makes the area more red and sore. The area starts hurting after prolonged use.( FYI - my skin is not sensitive, still). Still the darkness did not subside.

It makes false promises. I had to discontinue its use after the area where i applied started hurting badly after its application.

Pros:

it was easy to use. works ok. it just lightend the scar a little.

Cons:

it was itchy, and when it dried it would peel if the skin was moved in some way.

its ok. doesnt work like magic but it does help a little. ive been using it for a little while so i havent seen dramatic results. the best thing for you to do is...DONT POP THE PIMPLES . buy neutragena rapid clear acne eleminating spot gel microclear. its really powertful.so be careful. it works great. u dont have to pop the pimple so that means no scars. also scars dont like the sun so stay out of it for a little while.

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:

Recommended by my derm.

Cons:

Pricey. Itches a lot, dry skin.

Question for those who were able to successfully use this product to reduce scars: After I rub it in, my skin becomes really dry and itchy. So would applying lotion after using mederma reduce its effectiveness? If you experienced this problem in the beginning, how did you deal with it/ does the itching/ dryness subside after some use?

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.
