Mederma Advanced Scar Gel - 1x Daily - Reduces The Appearance of Old & New Scars - #1 Doctor & Pharmacist Recommended Brand for Scars - 1.76oz.

So, I accidentally burned myself trying to do one of those over-the-counter chemical peels on my feet. (I know, I know - big mistake). It was a slow burn. I didn't actually realize I had burned myself until about 2 days after I did the peel. My skin got increasingly red and started to form small bubbles underneath the surface layer. I know for sure it wasn't an allergy. The burn never left me with open skin or sores, so I have been trying to treat it myself (I don't recommend you do this though. I just don't have great medical insurance right now). The directions specifically say not to use it on open or broken skin. So for me, because my skin was not broken, it was safe to use. My biggest concern has been scarring, because this burn is on my feet in a highly visible area. I've been using this cream (along with the Mederma PM at night) for just under 2 weeks now and I've seen a pretty big improvement. I massage and rub in the Mederma Advanced Gel 2-3 times a day then let it air dry. I then place LOOSE socks over my feet to make sure the gel does not rub off onto my clothes or shoes. At night, I use the Mederma PM and again, place LOOSE socks over my feet when sleeping. I HATE sleeping with socks but I do feel like it has helped in keeping the gel on my skin and from rubbing off onto the sheets. Over the last 13 days, I've seen a significant improvement in the appearance of my skin. The pictures above are from days 3, 5, and 13. The burned area still has some hyperpigmentation and the area still appears to be healing, but it's looking like if I continue to use this gel daily over the next few months, there will barely be an appearance of a scar. I'm also almost completely out of the Mederma PM and because it's quite expensive compared to this Mederma Advanced Gel, I'm thinking I will just stick to the gel from here on out. Now, I don't know if my burn would have healed the same way without this gel, so I'm not exactly sure if my skin looks this way from using the gel or just from my normal body healing. But I wasn't really willing to risk the possibility of scarring, and that's why I decided to purchase this product. So far, the gel tube has lasted me a long time and I still have quite a bit left. It's the Mederma PM that is more expensive and I seem to run out of faster. I hope this review helps you! I don't write reviews often but I wanted to help others make a decision on what they think is best for themselves. Good luck!

I had sever legs ingrown hairs, keratosis Pilaris and razor bumps after I gave birth to my twins due to wrong usage of the shaving razors. Back then in 2017, my OB recommendation was Maderma for my c section scars. I did not use any of it on my legs. That said, I suffered from loads of wounds, ingrown hairs, pain and scars. Hyperpigmentation was awful too. I used literally tens of products. Some of them did work but others were just waste of money. I started taking care of my legs in 2019. I did all of the following - Dry brushing (worked) - glycolic acid chemical peel. (Worked well) - Tend skin solution (no effect) - pfb vanish + chamobright ( it is for face so did not work on legs) - differin serum for pegmentation (also for faces so didn’t work) - home made sugar paste hair removal (works magics) - home laser hair removal( great and BEST) - shea sugar scrubs (very gd for softening and exfoliating) - hibiclense anti bacterial soap ( didn’t work) - home remedies like olive oil and turmeric ( good but not alone) - Gold bond rough and bumpy: God sent for keratosis pilaris and ingrown hairs. - MADERMA ADVANCED GEL: this is magic!!! So I started using it in June 2020 and as you can see on images and dates (August 2020) HUGE diference. It made big difference the most. It hydrates skin, exfoliates skin, reduces dark spots, for groovy scars it helps rebuilding skin! Overall I am so thankful that I remembered my OB recommendation even it was kinda late. After it helped my c section scar it also worked best on my scars all over my legs. Now I will be ordering more for complete treatment. - the amount is really sufficient as other reviewers wrote so it lasts way longer than stores versions and you can’t beat the price. Overall, I don’t want to be happy alone 💌 get this for your scars, exfoliate it (gently) after few days and enjoy them fading away

BOTTOM LINE - the product works with MULTIPLE DAILY applications and it takes MONTHS for the results to show, much longer than what the Mederma manufacturer states (It will probably be well over a year by the time my scars fully resolve - but that's better than having the scars, right?). For more details on my experience..read on. I sustained burns on my legs, one of which was quite deep and infected, it required heavy duty oral antibiotics (Augmentin) for weeks to heal. For context, I have an olive skin complexion. The worst burn initially healed with a jelly-like puckered up texture - nothing like regular skin, purplish in color. The original size of that burn was about the size of nickel, with the most "jelly" in the middle and less raised in the edges. The burn is now about half the size of a dime, what is left is still quite ugly but changing. I've been conscientiously applying Mederma TWICE (2x) per day - morning and night - and I rub it in when I apply it. I've been doing this now for NINE (9) months, so the process is not a fast one, but it IS working (and I've witnessed the slow contraction of the scar over the months). I do not believe that the skin would have healed like this on its own. Upon reading about burn scars, the type of scar I described can be dealt with by surgically removing the weird skin and sawing up the skin around it (read expensive cosmetic procedure, and you're still left with the scar from bringing the skin together). The next to worse burns are two other scars which healed with indentations and very dark pigmentation. Those two scars no longer have indentations, that is to say the skin has "filled in". I also think the dark pigmentation is starting to get lighter, but as I obsessively look at the scars daily that sort of progress is hard to gage. Why not 5 stars? The downside - the Mederma product instruction/claims are of a much shorter duration in recovery than experienced by me. Nine months (and ongoing) is NOT the 8 weeks promised for new scars, it's not even the 6 months promised for old scars!! Note that the manufacturer's instructions recommend applying Mederma 3-4x/day and for practical reasons I apply the Mederma only 2Xs per day; so there's the possibility that I would have healed faster had I used it that often? Another possibility is that the manufacturer meant for the scarring that takes 6 months to heal to be more benign than whatever degree burns I sustained. Another negative observation is that I can still see some of the burns that were very superficial - they healed like regular scars and I still have much darker skin in that area (note that I apply the Mederma with the same schedule/intensity as I apply it to the serious burn scars). As I mentioned before I'm olive skinned, so perhaps people with lighter pigments will experience a faster fading of their scar. A conclusion I draw from my experience is that perhaps Mederma will give painfully slow results to those seeking to lighten minor scars? As I have a lot of product I will continue to apply.

I purchased this when I had gotten a rugburn the size of a baseball on my knee. I figured it would leave major discoloration, but after steady use, there is practically no scar whatsoever. I started applying Mederma as soon as the wound closed up, and after a few months, I was relieved to see that it was healing well. I also previously used Mederma when I had an ATV accident a few years back resulting in multiple scrapes and about 40 stitches. All the minor cuts and scrapes were 100% gone after a few months of use, but the scar from the stitches was still visible after a little less than a year of use. I can't complain though because the cut needing stitches was pretty wide and deep. One thing I noticed for me was that if I applied too much in one area, my skin had a slight reaction and got irritated. I would recommend testing a bit on a different part of your body and don't go overboard with how much you use, just to be careful.

I had liposuction along with a tummy tuck with excellant results except for the scar from one end of my abdomen to the other -- actually wrapping around my tummy to my back. It's a long, noticible scar. I read reviews before I bought Mederma and was disappointed that several people felt qualified to place a review after just a few days of use. I purposely waited for my own results from 2 months of use, applying it 3 times a day to try to make the review more useful. My initial scar was a deep redish/purple color and it has now faded to a medium-dark redish color. The color did not fade significantly or disappear as the example on the tube suggested it would; however it seems to have improved somewhat. I don't know what the scar would have looked like had I not used any Mederma but simply waited for time to heal the scar, but I didn't want to take any chances. I bought the larger 1.76 oz tube after I realized that I was going to use up the smaller size fairly quickly with that many daily applications. The big tube is a much better value depending on the price so I just ended up keeping the small tube at work. This made it easier to apply Mederma 3 times a day. I also had many small scars in various places from the liposuction and started using Scar Reducing Herbal Creme just for those scars. I have used that product for about 6 weeks. My two main scars were the size of quarters and are now half the size of a dime and definitely faded. Scar Reducing Creme uses Olive Oil so it's easier to spread and a little goes a long way. Since Mederma is very light and water based, it doesn't spread as easily and seems to soak in quickly to dry skin, but it has also lasted for these last two months with extra in the tube to spare. I thought it would be good idea to try StriVectin on my stomach (just above the tummy tuck scar) since I had bad stretch marks. I figured I could put all the cremes on at the same time since it's such a ritual anyway. I didn't mix the cremes by applying one over the other but applied each of the three to separate parts of my body. I didn't see any difference in the stretch marks at first and probably missed a few applications for this reason, but my husband started telling me that he really noticed a difference so I'm back using it again. Now looking at my stomach I think I agree with him, the marks are less noticeable than right after the procedure. Now that it's been 2 months, I plan to start rotating different scar cremes such as Scarzone along with the Mederma. Another review said that silicone may work better so I will give this a try while the scar is still relatively new. If none of this fades the scar completely, I'll make an appointment with a dermatologist to try laser or chemical peels. I love the results of the lipo/tummy tuck but I hate this scar!

I wish we had taken before shots to show the severe damage/scar my husband had on his forearm from a construction accident. He had to have 11 stitches. He started applying Mederma the same day his stitches were removed and it is amazing at how much his arm has healed in just two weeks of use. There is still a scar but it has lost most of the ugly, snarled appearance it started off with. The marks from the thread used to sew his arm are nearly gone. The scar itself is a pale pink color. You can definitely still see the injury but I am totally sold on this product. Because of how well it has worked so far for him, I intend to purchase some of the stretch mark cream once my baby is born in February. I will also post updates as his arm continues to heal. Also, the cream is supposed to be applied liberally, several times a day and my husband follows that religiously. It does have a slight floral scent but its a clean, lotion type smell. Not overwhelming at all. My husband has sensitive skin (he's allergic to certain detergents, deodorants, etc) but has had no issues with the Mederma.

I bought this product for my acne scars. I used the product the same day I received it in the mail. I applied a small amount, and once it had soaked into my skin on my face, I applied it once more. About two hours I wanted to check on it for results. I hadn't noticed a major change the first time I looked in the mirror. But, as most things in life, it is not a magical on time use product. The second day I used it was before I went to sleep the next night. I let it soak into my face while I was sleeping. Once I woke up, I went to the mirror to evaluate, and I was shocked. I noticed that the smaller acne scars were almost completely unnoticeable, the larger scars were only a bit distorted, but still the product was affective on them. I am now into my fourth day into using it, and there has been major change to the appearance to my face. A lot less red acne spots. And a bigger smile. I am glad I gave this product a try. Although my friend has also ordered this same product, for the same reason I had. And he wasn't as fortunate. He has much darker skin as I do. So, I would say that this product may work differently with other skin types. Thanks.

I love this product. A small amount really does go a long way but even so I'm still having to use a 3 pack every month due to the huge area I have to cover. I am a male who served in Iraq and I got very sick after being out in the dust storms and caught pneumonia. I lost 70 pounds in 2 months, and 30lbs of it was lost in the first 2 weeks. I was deathly ill and couldn't get any treatment for it and after regaining the weight I now have a belly full of probably 50 major scars from my thighs to my lower chest. Until recently it was a terribly embarassing sight, but after 3 months they are noticeably lighter. What used to be dark red and highly visible across the room is now light pink and only visible if viewed up close or if I stretch them out. I'm hoping at the end of the 6 months that they will be all but gone and I trust I will be Very happy with my investment. They are quite severe stretch marks (they are 8 years old and some are a full inch wide) so I'm not under the illusion that they will completely vanish, but if they even turn grey and blend in with the skin like normal stretch marks do then I'll be happy--and it appears to be going in that direction at a steady pace.

Ich bin absolut begeistert von dem Mederma Skin Care Narbenpflege Gel. Ich habe es verwendet, um Narben von einer Operation zu behandeln und ich bin erstaunt, wie gut es funktioniert hat. Die Narben sind deutlich weniger sichtbar und meine Haut fühlt sich insgesamt glatter und gesünder an. Ich benutze es regelmäßig und habe bereits eine spürbare Verbesserung bemerkt. Ich würde es jedem empfehlen, der nach einer wirksamen Lösung für Narbenpflege sucht. Eine klare 5-Sterne-Bewertung!

Va descamando la piel y así difumina. Llega a picar un poco y enrojecer bastante, echar por la noche Veo algo d efecto. Se necesita más tiempo.

J'étais réticent par rapport à l'effectivité de cette crème mais après 6 mois ma cicatrice (petite mais en plein nez) est presque invisible. Dommage de ne pas avoir pris de photos avant/après, mais elle est passée d'une couleur assez rouge et un (léger) relief à juste une petite marque un petit peu plus foncée qui ne se voit pratiquement pas et que je ne sens presque pas au toucher. À moins que je leur dise, mes amis ne se rendent même pas compte que ma cicatrice est là.

Product was well received, but unsure of the results as it has only been less than a month

I had a surgery and I have been using this magic for 4 weeks now.. if you want a great result you must have a commitment to use it daily.. my scars is getting litter and smooth.. the size will be enough for one month.. it has a slight smell of onion but it disappears after a few minutes from applying.. I really recommend it and I am going to buy 2 more.. can’t wait to see the final result
