I got burned on my upper arm 6 months ago and had a bad scar about 7" long. After reading the directions on Mederma I thought the results would be very slow and hardly noticeable for a long time after starting use. I was very surprised when I could see a difference after only a few days. Now it's been 12 days and the scar has been reduced by half. I only use it twice a day and it's no trouble at all. It dries quickly and is not bothered by clothing. The scar does itch but it was doing that before I started using the Mederma. I'm a beliver!!!

Was recommended by my doctor-seems to work pretty good, however like all healing scars after surgery, it takes time, and it won't make a major scar disappear. But it does make the scar less noticable after time and recommended use. [...]

I fall for all the marketing ploys, I must say. I got this to apply to an aging scar and diligently applied it for awhile. What a hassle, first of all. Directions says you must apply 2-3x/day. THAT is a hassle in and of itself. And in the end, I saw absolutely no difference in appearance. At the price too, it's simply just a waste of money.

I used this product exactly as directed. The product was applied thinly, because if I applied too much it'd become a paste and start to get all over my clothes (I had to apply it just above my bikini line, b/c of my c-section). I always let it dry first. Even though I applied it thinly, it constantly peeled on its own. I don't understand why it peeled even without contact with my clothing. I regret buying the gel now because it was messy leaving peels all over my skin. I didn't get any results, but I think I will still try Mederma one more time; however, I am getting the new sun protection, cream formula instead (It seems like less mess). I guess it works for some not all, but I wouldn't recommend this product if you are wear clothing over your scars, and you can't put a bandage or some other protection over your scar.

I have had acne for many years and recently it has subsided quite a bit. I decided to do something about the scars left behind. I have been using this product for about a month. I have noticed my old and new scars fading. I will most likely have to use this product for another month or two, but I am happy with the results so far. I did not expirience any itching or burning like some of the other people who have reviewed this product, but my scars are small and not fresh. I am looking forward to hopefully feeling comfortable with no make-up on in public.

Ok I havent used Mederma in years, but I had a bad scar on my face and I used it here and there. Yes it did itch but I didnt even use it that much at all and it still worked. You can barely see my scar. Until now I had bad blister on my feet that popped and the skin came off (yes gross I know)... well it left such bad red swollen scar and I used everything vitamin e anything you can think of, so I used Mederma again this time put it on couple times a day and Im not even kidding within days I see such a difference. Just give it a chance this stuff is amazing!!! I say everyone try it.

I used cocoa butter before trying Mederma and I never saw any results. Mederma is awesome! My friend recommended this to me after I had my 1ST child. I was a little skeptical about it but I started to use it and saw results in a few days. My stretch marks went from looking purple to barely visible. It's truly amazing! It got the job done quickly and I had no reactions to the gel.

Well, as with others there has been a mixed reaction. On my husband who had recent surgery, there has been no problem and his scar is really looking good. On me, on the other hand, it caused an intense itchy/scratchy/burning sensation after a couple of days use. I had to quit using it. But, that is a common thing for me. If anyone is going to have a reaction to skin products, it will be me, so keep that in mind. If it works for you, then the results will be very good. If you have the reaction, then you will be very uncomfortable for a while till it wears off. But, with a bad scar it is worth it to try it. Just put it on a small area to start with, for a week or so. It took a few days for me to have the reaction.

It made the area around my skin itch ridiculously. It was on old scar, but the label says it works for old scars as well. Well, it's been 2 months and I haven't noticed a difference yet.

Maderma did not work for me and I saw no improvement in the appearance of my scars after several months of use. Also it made my skin itchy and hardens into a thin film upon application which is uncomfortable.
