  Worked for me

  I used this shortly after the birth of my first child on some stretch marks. I followed the instructions of the 2-3 times a day application and put it on the side where the marks were the worst.

February 3, 2008, 11:37 am I used this shortly after the birth of my first child on some stretch marks. I followed the instructions of the 2-3 times a day application and put it on the side where the marks were the worst. After using about two tubes worth of it religiously, the marks did fade quite a bit. Even now, 4 years later, the side I used the ointment on more heavily is less noticeable than the side I used it more sparingly on. I might have had even better results had I been able to continue to use it, but at 8-10.00 a tube, and a new baby, and a low paying job, I just couldn't. On the flip side, I think one of the ways it works is by killing of the top layer of skin and forcing your body to make a new layer. My skin itched and peeled. So, that is an annoying side effect to deal with. Not sure if everyone has that issue when using it, but I did. I figured it was part of how it worked. I have never tried it on older scars. If it wasn't so pricey I would be willing to try it on my 1 year old stretch markes from my 2nd child. February 3, 2008, 11:37 am

  I am a volunteer firefighter and I wore my boots on a call that lasted for hours in the hot 100 degree day.

Anyway I wore shorts under my bunker pants and ended up with horrible blisters and burns around the upper calves of the my legs (where the top of the boot ended). I was petrified that I would not be able to wear shorts again! I used this product within 24 hours and continued until the wounds healed....NO SCARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wonder if this product comes in tubs..so I can dip my belly in it...4 10 pound babies and 4 c-sections...hmmmmm February 16, 2008, 6:41 pm

  My 2 year old broke a mirror with his head (I know...) and had a pretty good gash on his forehead. I applied the Mederma immediately after it was healed and it took about 3 months but there is absolutely NO color left to the scar. It's still raised but you can barely see it.

I applied the Mederma immediately after it was healed and it took about 3 months but there is absolutely NO color left to the scar. It's still raised but you can barely see it. Didn't work on any old scars but I wasn't real good about applying it every day for a half of a year. Works good but takes some patience. February 23, 2008, 8:30 am

  Not sure about product results.

  by SashaB (5 reviews)

  I used this on some surgery scars and I didn't see any improvement at all. I believe that it works, but I also think that a lot has to do with the incision as well as genetics. So I would possibly opt for another product if one's available. May 29, 2008, 11:23 am

  Allergy!

  I had to stop using this treatment on my scar because my husband was allergic to it! He would experience angioedema every time I put it on, so I had to stop using it. I found it a little irritating to my skin, but it was tolerable. I didn't see any short term results, and was not able to continue using it for the long term....

  Great Product

  by soaper1l (5 reviews)

  I haven't personally used this product but I have friends that have. I heard this product is great for new and old scars and also stretch marks. I would definitely pay the price for this product. I have heard nothing but good about it. April 24, 2008, 7:41 am

I will use it time and again and I even used it on some older existing scars and could see marked improvement in them also. March 27, 2008, 9:25 am

  only for new scars

  by smiley48 (136 reviews)

  

  I didn't see much improvement when I tried this on a few scars. There was some faint change on the newest one I tried it on, but even after using this for a few months it wasn't enough of a change to make me still use. February 15, 2008, 8:18 am

  Don't bother

  by tillacat (7 reviews)

  I tried this product on an old facial scar and....no change. Maybe it would work on a new scar, I didn't notice any change. February 1, 2008, 6:40 pm

  Worth the money??

  Saw only slight improvement for a 6 month old burn scar from a curling iron (clumsy!). The amount of improvement isn't really worth the money.
