Pros: ELIMINATED MY SCARS
Cons: None seen, maybe price
Summary: I found out about Mederma in about 1996 after I had an accident where my face was left badly scarred. Scar tissue was formed, called keloids, on my face. I felt inhuman, like the phantom of the opera. Put it this way, my nickname could have been ... read more

Pros: Easy to find, not too expensive, simple application process.
Cons: In my experience, this isn't the best product on the market or the least expensive.
Summary: I used Mederma on a surgical scar and wasn't thrilled with the slow results. I then tried Syprex SyCream and was delighted! Not only did my scar quickly fade, my skin felt great without any dry itchiness or tight feeling. Mederma is a good product but I

Pros: This product is really good at lightening new scars by making them almost invisible.
Cons: If you're not careful, it can make the scars worse.
Summary: I've used this product for a while, and it generally works really well to lighten new scars to the point of being almost undetectable. It also makes older scars less noticeable. But, I used this product recently to lighten a couple of new,

Pros: A tiny amount goes a long way. Mederma delivers on its promise.
Cons: None. Well, perhaps the price is a con, but again, well worth it.
Summary: The $26 I paid for a tube of Mederma (w/ SPF 30) was absolutely worth it. After our pediatrician recommended it and I read reviews online, I bought it to use on our 2 year-old son's forehead scar. (He split his forehead running into an edge

Pros: Scars fade, nice scent, a little goes along way.
Cons: Pricey, watery, results take a long time.
Summary: Every time I use it I have good results. I also know people that have good results. I use it on minor scrapes and small scars. I have never used Mederma on deep or severe scars. If you have the time (4 weeks plus) you will see results. I never have any
