Mederma : Advanced Scar Gel

So, I bought this just kind of on a whim because I thought it might work for me. I have tan skin, and everyday I put it on 3 times. I looked at the ingredients label just for fun to see what was so special and it contained octocrylene and like two other "active ingredients". Then like 5 days later I looked at my chapstick, and saw that my 100% organic chapstick had the EXACT same ingredients. Now I like experimenting so I decided to stop using the mederma, and start instead putting my chapstick on my face. It actually for me worked so much better. It had beeswax, honey, and other yummy ingredients for my face along with the "active" ingredients found in Mederma. Also, I think the only reason why it is so expensive is because it says it can "reduce scars" when in reality my chapstick can do a better job >:) While I thought my discovery was pretty awesome, I found out that the active ingredients were sun repellents. Which makes sense because the reason why scars linger is most of us don't wear sunscreen which prohibits the healing of scars :) Anyways, you all should look into certain chapsticks, because you might save a lot of money and time!

i m applying for few months i have 3-4 scars on my cheeks . it working slowly but i was using it daily.

I would reccomend this to anyone who is getting acne for the first time or wants a light UV protectant with an added bonus. Too slow/not porwelful enough for old acne scars.

i did not see any improvement in old scars and new scars formed thickened skin, which is something i have never experienced before. i do not recommend this to people with dry skin.

I don't like it.

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.

This is good so far Acne marks are concerned....

I have use it about a week and i think is working but the only bad thing about it is the itch.... but im getting use to it hehehe.

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.

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.
