Last summer, I got attacked by a dog. He ripped through my shirt and managed to tear into the skin on my stomach. It was so painful and the wound took a while to heal. My biggest worry was that I would be left with an ugly scar. To my horror, that is exactly what happened. I used oils, vitamin E, cocoa butter...NOTHING WORKED. Then I remembered a friend telling me she used Mederma® on her stretch marks and decided to try the gel for scars. I'm so happy to see the deep ugly scar looking better, slowly but surely. It is loads lighter in color than it was at first. I wish I had taken a picture of my scar when I first got it so everyone could see the difference now! I recently got a burn, but I'm not worried — Mederma® is there for me!!

I work for a professional water ski team in Wisconsin and during one of my performances I found myself entangled with a ski rope and was dragged behind the boat for several yards. After being taken to shore, I realized the seriousness of my injury, especially when I saw the back of my leg. People recommended Mederma® to me right away to make my scar less noticeable, so I waited for my wound to heal fully and started my use of Mederma® Advanced Scar Gel. I began using the gel around the middle of September and now, a few months later, I am seeing great progress and my scar looks better.

"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."

From my pregnancy I got so many stretch marks on my stomach, thighs, and especially my hips. I was so embarrassed by my stretch marks that I didn't even want my husband to see me. Although I love my new baby boy and wouldn't trade him, the changes pregnancy made to my body made me feel so embarrassed and depressed. I thought there was nothing I could do to help reduce their appearance until I tried Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy. Now I am writing this review because I am so satisfied that I think every woman deserves to know about Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy and that it actually works. I've only been using Mederma® for a few weeks and looking at my stretch marks today, I cannot believe the difference it made. I am definitely going to keep using this product. Thank you, Mederma®! You gave me my confidence back and now even after my pregnancy I feel beautiful!

I've been avoiding bathing suits and the beach ever since I got stretch marks. I think my embarrassment over my stretch marks contributed to my gaining a lot of weight... Because what difference would it make if I were slender? I still would be ashamed of my body. I wasn't sure if anything could improve them. So, to test the product I applied the cream to only the right half of my stomach and my right breast. Just to make sure there was no false difference in appearance, I put regular moisturizer on the left half of my stomach and left breast. After a few weeks On day 25, I could see a visible difference between the right and the left side. Now I am applying Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy to both sides. Can't wait to see the difference by the end of 12 weeks! The best part is that my skin is SMOOTHER. Thanks.

"My oldest daughter, ten year old Brianna, suffered from cold sores as a young child. Unfortunately, one of them did not heal correctly; thus leaving a scar beneath her lower lip. Luckily, I came across Mederma® for Kids™ which reduced the appearance of the scarring. A few months ago, my six year old daughter Shea injured her left temple while visiting her grandmother. A visit to the Emergency Room consequently led to several stitches. I relied on Mederma® for Kids™ once more. Fortunately, this trusty product pulled through yet again. As a mother of two aspiring actresses, I must say Mederma® for Kids™ not only reduces the appearance of scars, but also gives back a sense of confidence to children and adults of all ages. I have since started using your product on my stretch marks. Though once skeptical of such, I now hold great faith in Mederma®. Thanks a ton. Keep up the good work."

“My daughter took a tumble on our driveway and scraped her forehead, nose, lip and chin. I remembered seeing your commercial. After the scrapes healed, we religiously applied Mederma® to her scars morning, noon and night. Where I live summers are hard on any skin, but more so for any skin that has been compromised. We took pictures of her face from day one and as each day passed, saw a drastic improvement.”

“My son was giving his little brother a piggyback ride, when he tripped on the sidewalk outside. He landed completely on his face and just about knocked his 2 front teeth out. The doctor suggested I use Mederma® on his scar. I used it faithfully four times a day for 8 weeks, and all he has now is one small scar above his eye.”

Our new, frisky kitten scratched my daughter's cheek a few months ago and the scratch left a scar. I started applying Mederma® for Kids™ on the scar and I already started seeing improvement. I didn't think it would help at all but it is starting to look better. Amazing! I didn't expect to start seeing results this quickly, if at all. My daughter likes the purple color and the sweet candy-like smell, so she doesn't mind at all the application. Thank you, Mederma®!

“My daughter fell on the coffee table and ended up with 17 stitches on her forehead. I was a wreck over the fact that the scar would be on her face. Mederma® for Kids™ was recommended for the scar, and I'm so glad that I purchased the product. Mederma® has reduced the appearance of the scar so much that you can barely see it at all any more. It is a wonderful product that I would recommend to any parent with a child who unfortunately has a scar. Now she doesn't have to worry about her scar being a concern. She is beautiful and will remain beautiful every day as she grows. Thank you for such a wonderful product.”

My 4 year old daughter fell off a little tikes riding car in the street. She scraped under her left eye which left a scar. I bought Mederma® for Kids™ and started using it as soon as possible and it quickly started to look a little better. By the time we finished using Mederma® for Kids™ her scarlooks so much better. From a distance you can't see anything. The skin underneath looks light pink but I am amazed by the difference.

“My daughter accidently tripped and ran into an open door one day and she ended up with a big scar on the middle of her forehead. I went to the store and bought her Mederma® for Kids™. We have been using it every day, and the scar is barely noticeable now! I strongly recommend Mederma® for Kids™. It really works!”

I began using Mederma® Scar Gel five years ago after an elective surgery and I could not believe how little my scars were visible after using it. I still brag about Mederma® and show people my scars, or lack thereof. When I became pregnant I knew that stretch marks were inevitable so I began using a different brand stretch mark cream from the very beginning. Deep dark stretch marks still showed up so I switched when I learned that Mederma® made a cream specifically for stretch marks. I didn't expect much, however, because I knew that there wasn't much that I could do. It has now been 10 weeks since I began using Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy and my stretch marks are much less visible! I cannot believe how quick and effective this product has been. I only wish that I would have taken before and after pictures but I really did not think that it was possible to make stretch marks look better. I thought my bikini days were long gone but now I see that there is hope after all. I feel so much more confident and optimistic because Mederma® worked for me. Thank you for this product! I suggest this to everyone now!
