Pros:

Works incredible, used for about 4 days now and im already seeing good results. ive had red marks from years ago and theyre already starting to fade, and some of the newer ones are actually almost gone!

Cons:

leaves bad burn marks when mixed with benzoil peroxide
drys quick, you need to rub it in very fast
VERY expensive! almost 30 bucks for a small bottle. WELL worth it though

TRY THIS! Ive tried everything for red marks, everything believe me. this has shown the most results from anything ive ever used. its expensive but just buy it and you'll be happy, and dont mix it with any kind of spot treatment, and rub it in fast once you put it on. you'll see results in about 3 days if you put it on as directed. TRY IT!!!!!

Pros:

smells great, feel silky and smooths on face nicely. u have to rub it in until it disapears.

Cons:

none

i have been using this for only 2 weeks the results are AMAZING.... i tryed it on one side of my face and not the other just to see if i would get any results and to my surprise i am so impressed. i would tell anyone to at least give it a try. it may just work for you to!

Pros:

Been using generously for two weeks and has significantly faded a scar on my nose. I can't wait to see what happens in a few more weeks!

Cons:

Very expensive. If I'm going to use it for another 4-5 month on other scars I have to maybe purchase 4 tubes. at 20-30 bucks a tube, thats around 100+ dollars on Mederma.

It works! Give it some time. It's a miracle product, but just give it time...

Pros:

gel absorbs quickly, it works, doesn't cause breakouts, agrees with other products, the smell of the store brand version is fine (better than the ACV i was using!)

Cons:

hard to use 3-4 times per day if you are a woman who wears makeup during the day, you have to be really patient and diligent to see results, costly ($20-30 tube),

I have the Walgreens Brand Scar Gel (it says it's "like" Mederma," so I'm assuming its about the same). It is wonderful so far. I am looking forward to the long-term results, but I am very happy with what I'm seeing after a month of use. At the same time I started using this product, my skin fully cleared (it was probably a combination of things, but I think this helped). I had two cheeks full of hormonal acne that has subsided completely but left me with a lot of red spots. I have much less prominent red marks after using this gel but it's not an overnight miracle by any means. The reviews after just a week or a few days are not a great indication of how well this works. I expect it to take a year or more to really fade the hyper pigmentation on my face so it looks like my skin again. The cost isn't as bad as it seems. I'm still on my first tube after a month of applying it generously 2x daily (sometimes 3) on my cheeks.

Pros:

Works great. Gel 3-4. But I used it 5 times a day, evenly. It worked crazy.

Cons:

I didn't find any cons in my experience.

Depends on if you want the change and are willing to put it on consistently.

Pros:

smells nice, makes skin really soft (i got the moisturizing generic kind from target), fades pimple scars yay!

Cons:

recommends 3-4 times a day, which is bothersome. like other people say, rub it in well or it'll itch like crazy.

This product is amazing. Although i'm using the generic equivalent from target, i'm sure its pretty much the same thing. I've only been using this for about 3 days, and i've seen rapid improvement (well for 3 days, its doing great). My new scars are almost gone and my old scars are definitely improved.

Pros:

After 2 weeks, I am seeing significant improvement in a 2 yr old red spot. I am thrilled.

Cons:

can flake if you used too much or don't rub it in thoroughly. A small price to pay. Don't use the cream as it contains comedogenic ingredients.

I used to pick pimples which left me with some ugly red marks. They weren't raised or indented, but I had them for almost 2 years. I have been ussing Mederme Gel 3-4 times daily with a q-tip and now I can barely see the spots. I am so happy. I was considering chemical peels and lasers, but was reluctant because I scar so easily. I tried this stuff as a last resort, not expecting it to do jack. I am shocked. Seriously, buy it.

Pros:

it helped to fade my old acne scars and new ones

Cons:

there is no foul smell for all those people saying there are...but it won't leave anything if you rub it into your face -- gently.

good. too expensive. but good.
