2.0 out of 5 stars Sort of work, but just doesn't stick, July 23, 2005

After about two months of use, I have mixed feelings about these. Noticed a marked improvement in the height of raised scars (they are much smoother) but no improvements otherwise (in color/size), meaning scars that were not raised already have shown no improvement.

Biggest complaint is that they just don't stick well. When you first open a new one, it will probably stick well for about a 12 hours (the recommended amount of time to wear one in a day), as long as you aren't too hairy (and I am, they peel off my arms right away). But you are supposed to be able to re-use them for several days - yet after the first day, they barely stick at all (the directions say to wash them every day with water - I was skeptical at first that this would help, but it actually makes them stick better - just not well enough). Don't even think about wearing them at night without tape - they will peel off and get lost (or stuck in your hair :P ).

Overall:

The Good:
- seem to work well on raised scars
- bandages are fairly large, by cutting them up i can cover 3 scars with one bandage
- are good for about 5-6 days if you keep taping them down

The Bad
- don't stick - whatever you pay for these, expect to pay about that much again in medical tape (i use scotch tape because i am cheap)
- haven't helped with the color or size of scars (i don't really care that much, i was just curious if these would work - but for most people, i imagine this is the most important aspect)


Final Word:
2 stars, until I see more improvement. If you are particularly worried about your scars, I recommend seeing a dermatologist before you plop down 30 bucks for these.

5.0 out of 5 stars T.H. from Washington, June 8, 2006

I have keloids from ear to ear on my face and several on my chest. I have been using these for the past two weeks. Since I work full time, I only use these during bedtime and wear all night. The first week was rocky because as mentioned they kept rolling up and falling off. But my new approach is to focus on one area at a time. I decided to just work on applying them to my face to get those keloids under control. I have very oily skin so the fix was to wash my face with an oil free solution. I use Purpose which helps keep my skin acne and oil free. I wouldn't recommend this soap for normal to dry skin because it really strips all the oil from your face and body. After washing my face, I apply the patches directly to my face and I notice that it bonds tighter to the skin and stays on through the night. I actually change them out every 3 days as recommended in the directions and I save the plastic disks that you peel off and reapply those to the adhesive strips to keep them clean and dust free. This seems to be working. And I've noticed remarkable results on my keloids. They are smoother, more uniformed in appearance and seem to be strinking in size. I will keep you updated if this works for the keloids on my chest.

2.0 out of 5 stars Must use medical tape to get them to stick, June 22, 2006

Well, after much thought on which scar product to use on my two recent scars, I went with this one because it was cheaper than the other patches. The Curad ones only contain a 21 day supply and cost $20 so for the 12 weeks it is going to cost like $80. So I went with the Neosporin and medical tape. I had read that these don't stick but I found that I can't even get mine to stick right after peeling them off! But I bought some medical tape which keeps them on...shame though because one of the scars is on my face :( so everyone keeps asking me what happened since I have what looks like a bandage taped on my forehead. I do have to say that after only a week of use I have noticed a difference in size of the keloid scar on my hand so that is awesome! I have yet to notice a difference on the regular scar on my face but it has only been a week, so I'll see how it goes. I would still recommend these over the Curad ones since it is by far cheaper, but for the vain I would go with the Curad since I have read that they stick better and are more discreet.
