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!!!

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.

My daughter burned her forehead with a curling iron. She is bi-racial, and the scar was white......therefore, the scar was extremely noticeable. Her doctor and the pharmacist said that Mederma is the best stuff to use. It's very expensive, but very worth it. My daughter was self-conscious about the scar at first. We've used Mederma several times a day for the last three months, and the scar is almost completely gone. It's not even noticeable now!

I started using this on my scar after my thyroidectomy (after it healed of course). It was OK in the beginning, but then around week 3, it started to itch a little. I stopped after week 4 because the itching was really starting to be bothersome. I don't think it did anything for my scar.

After talking to a friend, who said I had to do it for the entire 2 months, I started again. And this time the itching was unbearable right away. Like another poster said, it itched for a day after I washed it off. It was terrible.

I am now trying the Curad scar therapy, and have been using it for 4 days and have not itched at all. Plus, I think a little of the coloring has gone down, but it is hard to tell.

I had seen all the commercials and decided to give it a try on a scar on my stomach. The product made my skin so itchy that almost every time I had to clean off the gel because the itch was unbearable but I have seen that the scar is lighting.

I bought this because it was highly recommended for acne scars, which I have, on a few different web pages I searched. I had to stop using this after three days because like the other reviewer my face turned reddish and discolered on the areas I used this gel. I'm trying to take attention away from problem areas on my face not to it. I also bought the new and improved fresh scent formula. I'm not sure what's considered a fresh scent in Germany(where it's made) but this stuff stinks. I'm going to try it on the stretch marks on my arms where I don't mind it being red but never on my face again.

I have had scars on the side of my head from acne for a few years now. When I first heard of Mederma I was skeptical that it would reduce the visibility of the scars that I've had for years, but I was so sick of seeing myself as 'scarface' when I looked in the mirror I was willing to give anything a shot. After I first began using the product, that area of my face began to turn red and it would flake off after about a half hour of application. I've been using Mederma for about 3-4 weeks now and the redness from using the product has stopped and best of all, the scars on my face caused by acne have been greatly reduced! I am going to continue to use Mederma for about another month but until that time I'm proud to say I'm not near as embarrassed in public, and I don't have to worry about showing my 'good side' any more. Mederma works, and I'm pleased with the investment I made via Amazon.com.

I have always had clear skin till this past December I broke out with horrible acne on both sides of my face. It finally went away after taking a 2 month cycle of acne medication.
However, I was left with scars on both sides of my face from me picking and popping pimples. I assumed that after a month or two that these scars would fade away. Not so! I tried to cover them with makeup, but that wasn't working so I turned to Mederma.
I wasn't optimistic, but I was desperate and it was worth a shot.
I have been using it for 3 weeks, and I have seen quite an improvement already. The texture of my scars have changed, and the color has faded so much that whenever I put makeup on you can't even see my scars anymore.
On most days I can only do one application (before I go to bed), but on days where I don't have to wear makeup all day I can do 3 applications.
I have no problems with the smell, especially it being so close to my nose. Smells like old flowers or something, but it goes away after a couple of minutes. I also have no problems with itching. I read on one website that you need to rub it in hard and make sure it is fully absorbed.
I also started wearing sun block on my face spf70 when I go outside.
I am very happy that Mederma has given me my clear skin back.

Last year in July my son had a terrible accident. He fell of the bike and hit the metal pole with his head. He was conciouss all the time, but wound was terrible to look at. It had to be fixed by plastic surgeon, however that left him with the 5cm scar on his forehead. We started to use Mederma after a month and we used it for 6 months. It has been more than a year from the accident and scar is barely visible.

it didnt change the color of my scars, it stimply made them less keloid-like. It basically helps for raised scars, not discoloration scarring.
