Pros:

- Reduces redness
- You start to see an improvement (on acne scars) in only a few days!

Cons:

-The horrible itchiness!
- It has to be applied 3 - 4 times a day
- Peels if not rubbed in all the way

Mederma is great! It really helps with acne scars, and it reduces the redness quickly. However, do NOT use this product before you go to bed. The itchiness will drive you crazy! One night, I woke up and realized I was furiously rubbing my face against my pillow. Haha.

Pros:

Goes on under makeup
Dries fast
Smells good

Cons:

Tends to peel when you apply a lot or don't rub in well

This product is absoulutely wonderful! I have been using it for about a month and it has helped me out so much. I initially bought it for acne scars but it has not only helped even those out it has also cleared my acne up. I'm going to buy my second tube today and hopefully in another month all my scars will be gone!

Pros:

-Helps fade acne scars.

Cons:

-It is inconvenient to have to apply 3 times a day, when you have busy days.

I DO NOT use the gel, I used to but I hated that it peeled when I put on makeup. Now I use the Merderma cream with spf. It is a few dollars extra, but worth it. It goes on easier & I have no problems with it with my make up. I used Mederma before for about 3 months, & it did help, I'm just can't remember how much it helped because it was a long time ago. But I remember that it did help, I just had to quit using it then because I couldn't afford it! lol. But now, I'm back on it, have been for a little over a month & I think it has helped. Most of my scars are really old, so I will continue using for some more months (if I can continue to afford it! lol) But I know for a fact it does help, so I do reccommend it.

Pros:

-Nice texture

-Skin looks really great after you leave the gel on overnight

-Redness diminishes drastically

-Does not induce zits like other treatments seem to

-Keeps oil under control without drying out the skin

Cons:

-Peels if you don't rub it in enough

-Takes a while to see results on older scars

-Needs to be applied at least 3 times a day to get results

Even though it takes a lot of time and commitment, this product is great. I have really sensitive skin that breaks out in hives from almost anything I put on my face, and this really helps to get rid of the redness and the scars that have built up on my cheeks. If you use this with really good moisturizer (I use anti-aging serum at night and clinique during the day), it gives your skin a nice base to apply makeup to while allowing your skin to heal. I have noticed a big difference in just a few weeks.

Pros:

Personally I think this item is awesome! Has completely saved my skin from a very bad habit of skin picking! It's very important to understand how it works however to use it properly. It does inhibit the growth of collagen, so it is thinning the skin and breaking it down a bit. This is only to be used on scars, not all over your face! If you use it religiously, and use it right it does work!

Cons:

Mederma is thinning your skin, so you need to be aware it is going to be more sensitive. Do not use your harsh acne products or any harsh product alongside this! Aha's, retinols, and benzoyl will certainly make your skin very dry and worse if used with. Make sure you are moisturizing. It can cause breakouts, so you may want to use every other day.

This stuff works! I saw an incredible amount of repair happen. I had 3 huge scars on my face! When I used this during the day and curad scar therapy pads cut to size at night, my skin completely healed. I also took 2000 mg of vitamin C and fish oil, a multivitamin, and alpha lipoic acid every day to aid in healing. It is so important to make sure your immune system is boosted to allow it to heal your skin. Also drink tons of water and limit stress. The stuff acne sufferers should know already! Also those complaining about the price should check out ebay! I got 2 tubes for 12.00! Be resourceful folks!

Pros:

I am still waiting for the effection.

Cons:

itchy

One time I forgot to use moisturizer before using mederma gel, itchy crazy. But next time I did. So I found the secret about eliminating the itch. Use moisturizer first!!! Trust me try again.

Expensive, does nothing for acne scars
I used this product on my acne scars for at least 3 months (I used the entire tube), and it did nothing to help fade them. For the price I paid, I expected to at least see a tiny bit of improvement from this gel. At the very least, it didn't cause me to break out.

Worst product ever!
Mederma is the worst product I've ever used. It burnt my face and now it looks like someone poured acid on it. I hate it. Do not use it if you don't want to look hideous.
