1.0 out of 5 stars This is nothing but 100% sunscreen!!!, March 7, 2011

This review is from: Mederma Cream with SPF 30, 20 Grams (Health and Beauty)

I bought this product (Mederma Scar Cream = SPF) for a nasty burn that I had on my hand.

There are three active ingredients printed on this tube: Avobenzone, Octocrylene, and Oxybenzone. Those are the only three products listed. THESE ARE SUNSCREEN!

What a load of garbage and false advertising. They have marketed this product in a way that would make a consumer believe that this helps diminish or reduce the appearance of scars when in fact, this is nothing but regular sunscreen. I understand it says SPF30 on the tube, but any reasonable consumer (like me!) would believe this is an *ingredient*, not the *totality* of the product. Where are the scar reducing/dimishing elements? Sure sunscreen will prevent sun damage to the scar going forward, but I want something that helps damage that was already done.

Do not buy this unless you simply want to pay $15 for 0.7 ounce of plain old suncreen.

THERE IS NO ACTIVE INGREDIENT printed on this box that serves to reduce or diminish scarring.

100% sunscreen, I cannot stress that enough. Please google the ingredients and see for yourself.

purchased for my wife to use on minor scar from carpo tunnel operation. Excellent price compared to drug stores. Product reduces the scar, but does not completely eliminate it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Great, but I expected more, February 11, 2012

This review is from: Mederma Cream with SPF 30, 20 Grams (Health and Beauty)

I had surgery a few years ago and used this product for the incisions to prevent scars.

I believe that the product worked, but I expected more.
I expected that it would actually prevent any scaring.

I give it a four star, since I can slightly see the incisions.
I do believe it was much better than nothing, since I scar easy.
This product did lighten the incisions, compared to minor cuts I had in past, using Neosporin.
