"Last May I had major reconstructive surgery on my chest. It left me with two noticeable scars running from the middle of my chest to both armpits. I used Mederma® as soon as I was allowed to and it has changed my life. It has been a little over a year since my surgery and I feel confident to take off my shirt in public. Thank you so much for this great product, I recommend it to anyone."

"When I was two years old I had a heart surgery that patched up three holes in my heart. It left a big scar on my chest that prevented me from wearing bikini bathing suits or V-neck shirts. I'm very self conscious about the scar, and was doubtful when my dad introduced Mederma® to me. I've been using it for a little over a month and I've already seen a difference. I know my scar probably won't disappear completely, but I'm very happy with the results so far."

"When I was pregnant with my first child I experienced a weird allergic reaction that caused me to get really severe itchy stretch marks around the mid section of my stomach. The stretch marks were purple, red and all around my belly button. I tried every cream in the world and nothing helped or prevented me from getting stretch marks. Then I lost a lot of weight which caused my stomach skin to get loose so you can imagine what my stomach looked like at that point. It was awful. Then I saw the commercial for Mederma® Stretch Mark Therapy. I am on my second month and let me tell you it works. Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy not only changed the color of them from purple/red to more natural, they are also not as deep as they once were. I am very happy. The after picture is using Mederma® for 1 month."

"I would like to first state that I have the worst healing process EVER. I have superficial scratches that I’ve had since I was 8. I am not comfortable wearing shorts now because I have scars every where. When I turned 13 it got worse due to acne scars. I wouldn't want to go to school because I was too ashamed. Later in life, still having acne, I found Mederma®. I saw a visible difference in the appearance of my scars using Mederma®. I have been using it ever since to treat scars that I get from acne. When I get a pimple, I think to myself "oh no biggy I've got Mederma®". Thank you Mederma®! You are a god send."

"I’m 20 years old and ever since I was told not to run due to feet complications I gained a lot of weight. About 2 1/2 months ago, a friend of mine became a personal trainer. I thought to myself that it was the perfect opportunity to get my health back together. At 160lbs, I had stretch marks all over. I couldn't wear shorts because I had stretch marks all on my inner thighs and down onto my calves. While I worked on losing weight I used Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy, thinking the combination of weight loss and using Mederma® would make my stretch marks fade, and guess what...IT DID!! I’m so happy that I can finally wear shorts and feel comfortable in a bikini. But I’m speaking from experience, if you have they same problem I did, trust me, you won't regret it! I love Mederma®. They saved me. I’ve gained back all my confidence!! Alyssa"

"I recently fell down the stairs, head first. I was lucky that I didn’t kill myself but I was bruised pretty badly. I wear glasses and they didn't break, thank god for that, but the impact of the fall caused me to get two black eyes, brush burns on my forehead and knees and a broken wrist. But the worst injury of all was to my nose and upper lip. My nose was broken, but that healed OK. My lip needed three stitches and I am not sure how many stitches were needed to reattach the skin that was hanging from the tip of my nose. Needless to say, there were scars to deal with. Your product was and is wonderful. I have only been using it so far for two weeks but I can already see an improvement in the fading of the scar. I just could not wait another minute to thank you for this wonderful product. Thank you, Thank you so much."

"At 16, I had a breast reduction. It was not until well after the surgery, that I realized I had a problem with my scar tissue called keloids. Keloids are overgrowths of fibrous tissue or scars that can occur after an injury to the skin. These scars are heavy, painful and considerably visually unappealing. The keloid scars have softened and are gradually disappearing altogether! I'm positive that with continued use, my scars will be a distant memory very shortly! I LOVE Mederma® and highly recommend it! I'm 24 now and believe I owe much of my self-esteem to Mederma®!!"

"I'm an 18 year old guy and going from middle school to high school I lost quite a bit of weight rapidly and grew also... I've had stretch marks on the both the sides of my upper thighs (pelvic region) and they are very white and not newly formed. I bought the gel and it’s slowly but visibly changing my stretch marks and it’s completely helping build my confidence as I'm about to graduate and go to college. Strongly recommend the product."

"After having my first child, I ended up getting stretch marks on my inner thighs, hips, and buttocks. I put lotion on my belly the entire time I was pregnant but never thought to put it on these other areas. Being only 21 years old, like any young woman I want to be able to wear my swimsuit with pride. I tried all the expensive creams, cocoa butter, oils, everything. Then I saw that Mederma® was coming out with a new product for stretch marks. I was so excited because Mederma® is the most trusted scar product brand out there. I’m on my first bottle and only been using this stuff for about a week and let me tell you this stuff is heaven sent! My inner thighs had really deep striae and my stretch marks on my hips were very dark. I cannot even see some of the smaller stretch marks now, and already seeing improvement in the depth of my stretch marks between my thighs. I am so happy I found this stuff in the nick of time, right before I have to start wearing a bikini! Definitely use a generous amount of the stuff and rub for about ten minutes; it’s kind of like a “self therapy” treatment. Thanks Mederma®, can’t wait for the full results! Will put up a picture when my 12 weeks are up!"

"My 12 year old daughter had so many mosquito bites that there were dark noticeable scars on her legs. She’s had them for about 4 years, and all those years she never wore skirts, dresses, or shorts. Even during the summer she wore jeans. So I bought her Mederma® for KidsTM and after about 2 months all her scars are less noticeable. Then I bought many shorts and dresses for her. I'm glad she’s not ashamed of her legs anymore."

"Ever since I was a young teenager I wanted a fuller chest. I was tired of my figure being described as boyish, not to mention I had a breast deformity that only made me more uncomfortable. So I finally took the plunge and got a breast augmentation. I am so happy with the results but the only thing that kept me from being completely happy was a few stretch marks that popped up about a month after the surgery. I started researching creams and therapies to use on them and just kept coming up short. Then one day, I saw a commercial for Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy and just knew that it was going to be worth trying. After about three weeks I really started to see them smooth and lighten up. I'm at the ten week mark now and I can't believe the difference. The texture of the stretch marks has smoothed over tremendously. It's a good feeling not to feel them. The color has gone from that dark red-ish purple to just a few shades away from my skin tone and I am very fair skinned. It really isn't another so called miracle cream. It's a therapy that works. It has helped turn this whole body transformation into something beautiful for me."

"I have to say I was very skeptical about trying Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy. You always see commercials claiming that something works then you come to find out that it doesn't. Well, I was desperate during my pregnancy. I developed AWFUL stretch marks down my legs and thighs. I have been using this product for almost 5 weeks now and my stretch marks have faded so much. I can’t even imagine how great my legs will look after the full 12 week period! I was so self conscious and depressed because I thought my legs would never look good again, but now I have hope and I’m getting my confidence back! Thanks Mederma®!"

"My girlfriend has 3 dachshunds and I was playing with the youngest while I was visiting her. Never in a million years did I think that I would get bit by my friend’s dog, but I did. I was rolling a ball to the youngest dog and the ball got stuck under a chair and when I bent down to get it I was on my knees. I turned around and the middle dog bit me on the lips. Well I got 9 stitches from that little dog around my upper lip and under my nose. I started using Mederma® after the stitches were removed and I have been using it for 8 weeks and the results are great."

“My daughter is a total tomboy, fearless and constantly covered with scrapes & bruises. She is learning to ride a bike and fell about a week ago. She had a huge, deep scrape across her knee. Looking at my own knees, I have a couple of puffy scars, and I didn't want her knees to look like mine, when she's older. I stood in the aisle looking at the Mederma®, scared to pay that price on a product that might not work. But looking at her knee after she's been using the product, I'm so glad I did. Her scar is light pink and shrinking. I would definitely recommend this product to others.”
