4.0 out of 5 stars It does work--but you will need to keep buying it. April 17, 2008

You will definitely see an improvement in your scars. I repeat that again with emphasis: you will see an improvement. I have to tell you that the improvement won't be until you use maybe five or more tubes over five months. The tube is not that large and it doesn't last all that long. It is costly, no matter where you buy it--the Internet or your local store. But, it is the only scar product I have tried that does what it says it will do---so for the third time: don't expect your scars to be 100% gone, even after five or six tubes. BUT: you will be pleased---very, very pleased, indeed. I would say a 90% improvement, and that is wonderful. But not from one tube. I do recommend it and I like it. Not messy and don't use too much as it flakes off. Follow directions. It is a fine product, but buy in bulk!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars You will see a difference. June 14, 2003

By A Customer

Size Name:1.76 oz.

Two and a half months ago, I had a mole removed from my upper lipline. Removal involved a vertical incision and six stiches. A few days after the stitches were removed, I started applying Mederma 2 to 3 times per day. I've used it for just over two months now. The scar color has really faded (it can easily be covered with make up now). The scar tissue is now barely raised and is flexible. I will continue to use it and feel pretty confident that the scar will eventually be nearly invisible.

I plan to try Mederma on some older scars and am hoping for good results.

NOTE: I have extremely sensitive skin and did not find this product at all irritating.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unnecessary to use expensive creams like Maderma April 20, 2011

By A. Perer

Size Name:1.76 oz.

I just read an article in the LATIMES ([...] from April 17, 2011 and it made very clear that Mederma and all the other products (with one exception-silicone gel) worked no better than petroleum jelly. Same with Vitamin E and all the other products. According to the article (which quotes recent studies), its merely the fact that all these products keep the scar moist. That is the mechanism that Mederma, Vitamin E, etc work better than letting the scar heal by itself. Studies clearly show no benefit in using scar products (with one exception - silicone gel) versus plain old petroleum jelly. So just clean your cut with simple soap and water (anti-bacterial gels and soaps don't help other than to make you more resistant to anti-biotics, so they are actually a detriment!!!) and put petroleum jelly on it followed by a band-aid. Neosporin and the like are a waste of money. (This has actually been known for a long time and is not the point of my review. There's plenty of science to back this point up if you research it.) The one thing worth buying is silicone gel treatments like Scar-Away, that originally came as gels for burns, and can now be bought as sheets attached to a band-aid like backing. And the best part is that silicone gel products work great on old scars. Scar-Away is just one brand of many, so do your own research to see if one brand is better or cheaper than another. I hope this helps you save money and that you scars heal nicely.
