I've used this stuff for a couple of years now. Mederma is not a miracle worker on major scars, but this stuff works great on pimple scars and new breakouts. It also works well on enlarged pores--I love it. Since I've lived in Miami, my pores have gotten bigger. I wash my face and rub it in well right before I go to sleep. After a few days, my face looks clearer and smoother. It does tingle and itch a little, but for me that means it's working. Believe it or not, I just finished my first tube since I began using it. Hope this helps.

I love Mederma! I use it for my acne scars. After applying the gel 3-4 times a day for two weeks, people were complimenting me on what used to be horribly scarred skin. Also, Mederma somehow prevents new acne from forming! Yayy!!!

I had knee surgery 05/31/06. The scar from the incision is 4 inches long. I began using Mederma 2-3 times a day on it as soon as the scab was gone. The scar is a light pink, but better than that (as I know color will fade with time anyway) is that the scar is smooth -very smooth. I will continue using on scar for several months and post end results. As for old scars, I would not expect this to work on scars that are years old. I would think that after that much time, the skin has set and you would have to have new surgery or a chemical treatment to change the scar and THEN use Mederma... but that's just me guessing. The only thing I'm SURE of is that the stuff works wonderfully on brand new scars!

This stuff is AMAZING. I think it's true that it's not going to be as effective on older scars, but I researched it before I had to get a mole removed from my ear. I started using it the day I got the stitches out. I followed the directions (I think they said to use the product 3-4 times a day) and within a few weeks, the scar was almost invisible. Really. I was so self-concious after the surgery, but now I wear my hair up all the time. Definitely worth the cost.

I'm shocked that this product is rated so low... I absolutely love it, but it's possible that it doesn't work that great on deep scars. I have been using it for acne and post-acne darkening and red blotches. It's really helped me, and I would recommend it to others with adult acne.

I would have given a zero star if I could; this stuff simply don't work at all. I tried 3 tubes to see if it would heal or make my scar better, but it didn't do anything at all. It has a nice smell, but that's it. Doesn't clear scars, doesn't help scars. What a waste of money, save your money and buy vitamin E oil base bottle which suppose to work wonders and heal even make scars look better.

Don't waste any money on this product. I didn't have any luck with it. I talked to my dermatologist and he said that the scars would fade by themselves, and there are no magic creams out there that speed up the process. He did say to wear sunscreen, because UV rays definitely inhibit the fading process. (In fact, that's the reason why many plastic surgeons won't do procedures during the summer, because your scars won't heal if you're tanning on the beach.) So everyone wear your sunscreen!!

I really did not expect this product to work but I was hopeful and tried it anyway. I have a scar from an animal bite. I used half the tube and nothing. I have had good results from using raw shea butter.

I have a bump on my nose from a nose piercing that didn't get to heal properly. The bump is actually right next to the piercing. It was round and red and I tried vitamin E oil and decided to get a tube of Mederma. I have used it one day and it has reduced the size of the bump and is not as noticeable. That is only after one day. I believe it does work. I will use it 3 to 4 times like it says. I think you must use it often to see results. I think also rubbing it in helps.

I recommend just using a Vitamin E lotion of some sort. I used this -- a whole tube -- according to directions and noticed no difference on a scar I had just gotten.
