I used to have depression and a problem with self-harm. I was burning and cutting myself nearly every day, on my wrists, arms, legs, ankles, and chest. That's become the past. After I got out of that ditch, I wanted to make the scars look better. The pharmacist recommended Mederma® Advanced Scar Gel and I bought it without hesitation. After two months of using it, my scars are less noticeable! It's really wonderful.

I began using Mederma® Advanced Scar Gel about 2 months ago. This scar has been on my right side of my face since my childhood. I tried so many products and it did not work, so I decided to try Mederma®. I see a big difference in the appearance of the scar. It's smoothing the scar as well as lightening it. I am pleased with this product and would recommend it to anyone.

I had a mole removed from my neck. The mole itself made me really self-conscious (people mistook it for chocolate sometimes!) but I was even more worried about the scar. After I had the stitches removed, the scar was really bulky and red, but after using Mederma® Scar Gel religiously, the only way I can tell it's there is to feel it! I preach about Mederma to my friends all the time and I always make them look at my neck to see if they can see my scar and no one ever can! THANK YOU Mederma®!!!

"I saw the ads about Mederma®, and I just had to try it. It was very inexpensive in relation to what I thought it would cost. When I was a baby I had an incident with an iron that fell on my knee. It left a burn. Fortunately, I was too young to really remember, but that scar would stay with me, often prompting individuals to ask about it. I began using Mederma® in the winter months, and by early Spring my scar had completely transformed from the texture of a raisin to a smoother texture that resembled the rest of my skin. I am very pleased with Mederma® and I have recommended it to all of my friends.”

I've had some trouble with acne, and what made my face look worse were all the scars that I got because I can't bear to leave it alone. Mederma® has helped SO much! Many of my acne scars are way more faded and closer to my skin color. I also have gotten a lot of burns while at work, even on my face, after I put frozen food in the fryer. I used Mederma® and it's so much better. You can hardly even see the purple scars on my face anymore. At all!!! I'm so glad for this!

I had a plastic burnt mark on the side of my left leg just below my knee as big as a quarter since I was 8 years old. The scar made me wear nothing but jeans when I go out. When I went to the US in 2006, I was just browsing through the medical supplies shelves of Wal-Mart and luckily stumbled upon Mederma®. I was like "can a gel possibly remove an old scar?"...But then I bought one tube and tried it. Surprisingly after few months my scar started to improve. After more than a year of continuous application my scar wasn't as noticeable as before. Many thanks to Mederma®!

I have burn scars on my arms and scars on my legs. I had refused to wear shorts or short skirts and always wore long sleeves or covered my scars with band-aids or bracelets because I was scared about what people would say, and whether they would notice and judge me for it. I am happy to say that after almost 8 years, I have truly begun to heal (emotionally) from my trauma. I know that because of what I have been through, I can overcome anything life has to throw at me. I knew that I needed some help with making the scars look better. I have recently purchased Mederma® and have begun to see some results. I am hoping that by the time I officially have my Masters degree (May 2012), my scars will have become far less visible. Every day is a challenge and I am hoping Mederma® will help me gain some of my confidence back!

"I have always had mild acne and when I break out it always tends to scar which makes them stand out more. I have been using Mederma® for years and it really works! My scars have improved and it is very impressive. I also used to have two burns on the side of my lip. When I used it on those, the scars looked less noticeable. I have used both the gel and the cream but I prefer the cream because it has sun screen in it so it helps prevent the sunburn. The only con is that it is a tad bit pricey but the tube lasts months (depending on how big the scar is). I love Mederma® and I will not use anything else!"

“I was involved in a car accident. The car hit me from the side, causing my airbags to deploy. I received horrible burn scars on the inside of my left arm. My dermatologist suggested Mederma®. Using Mederma for about six weeks, I noticed improvement. Thanks to the inventors of this product! What would I have done without it being a part of my life?”

“I burned my left forearm (2 1/2 inches long) pressing my clothes and thought "great this is really going to leave a big scar". Then I remembered seeing a commercial about Mederma® and went to my local pharmacy and purchased a tube. I have been using Mederma® on the burned area as well as on lumpectomy scars and the results are amazing. The burned area on my forearm is less red and is looks significantly better now or has greatly improved. Thanks Mederma®!”

I burned myself on the oven and it left me with a scar on my forearm! I heard about Mederma® Scar Cream and did some research and this is what I chose to try for my scar. So glad I did because it really works, people! I followed the instructions and within the first 3 weeks I saw my scar starting to look better. I continued using it for another 6 weeks. I’m so satisfied with the results and would definitely use it again, but I hope I won’t ever have to!

I wish I had taken before and after pictures of my burn scar! I was using a hair straightener when I accidentally burned my neck. I was horrified at the burn and knew that it would absolutely leave a scar. I went in search of a scar cream at my local pharmacy and saw several but I decided on the Mederma®Cream with SPF 30. I was doubtful so I did not take pictures or even think I would get the results that I did. In a matter of about three months my 2 inch scar was already fading! I kept using Mederma® three times a day especially after showers and it has now been about 9 months and I ‘m seeing drastic improvement in the appearance of my scar! I have recommended this product to all my friends and would strongly, without a doubt recommend this product to anybody else. It was worth the money and it wasn't even that expensive compared to other products that I saw for retail price of about $60. So if you have an ugly scar that you want to get rid of go out there and BUY it! I will definitely be trying Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy as well!
