Pros:

None

Cons:

It makes the area more red and sore. The area starts hurting after prolonged use.( FYI - my skin is not sensitive, still). Still the darkness did not subside.

It makes false promises. I had to discontinue its use after the area where i applied started hurting badly after its application.

Pros:

Recommended by my derm.

Cons:

Pricey. Itches a lot, dry skin.

Question for those who were able to successfully use this product to reduce scars: After I rub it in, my skin becomes really dry and itchy. So would applying lotion after using mederma reduce its effectiveness? If you experienced this problem in the beginning, how did you deal with it/ does the itching/ dryness subside after some use?

Pros:

none!

Cons:

wow, okay. im 15 and i have a very mild case of acne. the 3 pimples a month that are large kinda thing. but, however, i do tend to pick at pimples and i had about 6 large scars on my forehead. i bought mederma and guess what?! I now have severe acne!

THANKS MEDERMA FOR TOTALLY SCREWING UP MY ALMOST GREAT FACE! wow...it works for some people? just ask a pharmacist about it and they'll tell you if it'll work for you. my skin is sensetive...maybe thats why. I dunno...

Pros:

it was easy to use. works ok. it just lightend the scar a little.

Cons:

it was itchy, and when it dried it would peel if the skin was moved in some way.

its ok. doesnt work like magic but it does help a little. ive been using it for a little while so i havent seen dramatic results. the best thing for you to do is...DONT POP THE PIMPLES . buy neutragena rapid clear acne eleminating spot gel microclear. its really powertful.so be careful. it works great. u dont have to pop the pimple so that means no scars. also scars dont like the sun so stay out of it for a little while.
