Pros:

Cheap.

Cons:

Pretty goopy.

I had been fighting with my red marks for a long time and this product seems to work pretty well. I didn't use this alone, however. I used other products that also help with red marks but this pretty much sealed the deal. Along with the green tea St. Ives scrub (which reduces redness) and using Noxzea Deep Cleansing Cream (it's a face wash) as a mask, it's been very effective. I'd like to make a note that if you use this for let's say, three days in a row, you'll get a little white head but that's better than getting a huge red pimple. It can give you pimples but you NEED to use it in moderation. By that, I mean about 2 times a week. That's how long i've done it and i haven't broken out either. I'd recommend you leave it one for about 12 minutes then rinse off with cold water. I do recommend picking up the green tea st. ives scrub and the noxzema deep cleansing cream along with this to help with red marks.

Cons:

-terrible smell
-clogs pores
-difficult to wash off
-expensive when you live outside the U.S.

I got the cream a while ago. I tried it out immediately - and never again since. It smells so badly that I got a headache from it but "No pain, no gain" right? However, when I started washing it off after 30 min, I realized that the cream was stuck in my pores and it extremely hard to wash it off - i had to scrub my face with a wet towel... Since I haven't read a review like mine yet, I was wondering: Am I doing something wrong? I'd be happy about comments on that. Cheers!

TRY IT

I have used Murad, garnier, and neutrogena products designed to fade scars/marks from acne. All for 6 months or more, but NOTHING has worked so quickly and effectively. It has faded old a new scars quicker than I thought possible, in one or two months. And old scars that I've had for year and years, in 5 months or less. I don't use this on active acne because it doesn't seem to work well on it, but any scars it does wonders. I am very pleased with this product. And you don't need a lot, I use it almost daily (for 6+ months. I'm always getting new scars because my skin is very sensitive and I have moderately severe acne) and I haven't used even a quarter of the jar. I don't wash it off in 30 minutes though, I put a thin layer over any scars after I've washed my skin at night and leave it on over night. If any is left on in the morning it easily washes off. I couldn't find it in the store so I think I bought it off drug store or amazon. Mine came in a pink and white tub with a silver/gray cap and says "madre perla" on it. Keep it sanitary, wash your hands before using it or bacteria will get in the tub. It works most quickly with new scars, as soon as the pimple has healed start applying this nightly. I don't use it around my mouth often because it might break me out just around my mouth (not sure), but I can't even wear lipstick with out around my mouth breaking out. That's why I only gave it 4 stars, also because it doesn't heal active acne. I also use tea tree oil, salicylic acid, benzoyl 2%, apple cider vinegar, and an aztec mask (not all at the same time of course) and I recently started BC.

Pros:

I was quite expensive but is working well, I put in on at night on my legs since they have some scars which look kind of brown, they are diminishing little by little but the results are not dramatical.

Cons:

I beleive if exposed to the sun it will be more of a problem than a solution. I've heard that dark spots can appear on the sking due to sun exposure what to do/?

Very good cream altough expensive, where can I buy it cheaper/?

I've had 3 knee surgeries, the first of which was in 2002 from a doctor who really didn't know what he was doing. As a result, I got this huge scar on my knee with 13 little raised scars from the stitches, that I call my football laces. I'm Asian, so I get keloid scars and eventually I just stopped caring about it since I didn't think there was anything I could do about it. I had another surgery in 2006 where the doctor removed my old scar (still had the laces), and I again did nothing. My scar started out as thin and much prettier, but because I didn't take care of it, it eventually spread because of the stretching of the skin while my knee bent. Third surgery was in January of this year, the doctor removed my scar again and kept the laces, but this time, I've decided to take care of this scar. I started using the Dr. Max Powers Scar Cream (from [link removed]) 4 times a day 5 days ago and I all ready see a HUGE difference! My raised laces have smoothed ou
