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:

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:

Might be worth trying on certain types of scar.
Not oily.

Cons:

Might be a mere placebo.

I had some acne nasty scars on my cheeks. A few weeks of this products didn't seem to really do anything. I recommend trying other products listed on this sites such as MaMa lotion.

Pros:

It might help eliminate scars.

Cons:

It made me itch like CRAZY. Don't use it on your cheeks!

I read all these amazing reviews on acne.org, so I was excited when I bought my Mederma. I also read the warnings about the itchings but I thought I'd give it a go. The first application, it didn't itch at all, and I was glad. I used it about three times (in a two day period) and as I continued use, my cheeks became so itchy!!! It felt like my mind was losing it becuase it itched so bad so I scrubbed it all off with water, and the itching calmed down after 10 minutes. It did seem to work a bit, but the itching is not worth it. Bottom line, I wouldn't use it for the face. I'm only using it for the scars on my legs, and it seems to work.

Pros:

I just started using mederma 2 1/2 days ago, so can't really say yet.

Cons:

ITCHY!! REDNESS ON CHEEKS!

Does anyone have the same situation happend to them using Mederma?? I'm using it on my cheeks for acne scars that were left from when I was in high school. I'm 24 now, so the scars are pretty old. Anyhow,I've noticed that my cheeks turn red and after awhile my cheeks begin to itch. I try not to rub but when I do it,the mederma lotion comes off like in flakes. IS THIS NORMAL?? Someone help me please I want to know if I should stick with the itchyness and redness or should stop using it. Also, I've noticed alot of people have commented on the odor, but mine doesn't have any odor. I'm wondering if the company of the product fix the odor problem or if my something is wrong with my mederma??

wtf? YES YES YES
I wrote a review on here previously (and I do not review anything ever) - about my sister and her cystic acne/scarring. She and I both had extremely bad acne in highschool. SUPER BAD. I am talking, embarrassing abnormally big pimples all over. She used this for abotu a month and a half on her scars (old and new acne scars). She and I both had huge holes from acne. Her scars disappeared! I was skeptical about trying it because everything breaks me otu and this is expensive. BUT !!!!!! I am so happy I am crying. I use this nightly (EVERY NIGHT, NO SKIPPING OUT) on a clean face, and sleep. And it has been three weeks. My scars are gone, gone, gone! I still have 3 or 4 on my right cheek (the deeper ones) , but they may take more time. But my whole face in even, no holes, no scars. The ones that remain are def almost gone!!! Another few weeks, I am sure they too will vanish. I know this is pricey guys but my review is sincere. As I said, I do not review much because nothing has worked before now. I made an account here JUST FOR Mederma.

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.
