 Mederma Skin Care for SCAMS May 20, 2008

This product doesn't actually work. It didn't work for me anywhere I used it, and it didn't work in a scientific study that tested rabbit ear scars (which someone previously noted): "Histologic analysis demonstrated no significant reduction in scar hypertrophy or scar elevation index...No significant difference in dermal vascularity or inflammation was noted...no significant reduction in scar erythema with Mederma treatment" (Saulis A.S. et al. "Effect of Mederma on hypertrophic scarring in the rabbit ear model).
For the people who claim that this product worked for them, I think your skin either healed on its own, you're a Mederma employee, or it's all in your imagination. The only thing that might have had some effect was that you kept the area moisturized while it healed. Even old scars, over the course of weeks or months (which is the amount of time the Mederma tube claims it will take to see improvement, something like 6-8 weeks), will change somewhat. The Mederma has nothing to do with it. There's no better way to honor the lives of the poor rabbits who died in the study than not buying the product that proved completely ineffective. Please don't buy Mederma.
 Works, but takes time May 6, 2008

I have had sever acne in the past and was left with unattractive scars on my face. I purchased Mederma at my local CVS even though it was expensive, because I needed a solution. Mederma does work well, but don't expect to see results instantly. You need to apply Mederma regularly and consistently for about a month in order to see results. It really does work though. My scars are much more toned down and less visible.
 Great product; bad company to buy from April 8, 2008

This product definitely works. I love it. The company listed to buy from isn't that great, so buyer beware. They listed the product as 1.7oz, but when it arrived it was the .7 oz. They would not send a new shipment and would not correct the problem. The price is good for a .7 oz, but I wouldn't buy from them again.
 no expiration date on products March 2, 2008

Good price and fast delivery.
However, on the box and the tube, where
expiration ought to be was left blank.
Made me a little uneasy if the product is legitimate
or has expired. Don't think I will order it again.
The ones you get from stores always have the
expiration date clearly marked.
Fantastic product! February 13, 2008

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 Mederma 4 times a day 5 days ago and I all ready see a HUGE difference! My raised laces have smoothed out and are starting to fade. I'm not kidding. The place where my drain was is healing well and the big scar itself is looking great. It's not too red or scary, and it's totally soft and looks like a "normal" scar. I can't wait to see it in another month or two, the timeframe that Mederma recommends.
I really recommend this product to anyone who has a new or an old scar. It WORKS.
