"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 . . 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 works. It has helped turn this whole body transformation into something beautiful for me."

"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."

I gained 65 pounds in two months due to medication I was taking. I had stretch marks on my thighs and side. I have very dark skin, so my marks were even darker. After just one month of using Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy they have started to improve on my thighs. My side still has some but they are not bad as they once were. I also used Mederma® Scar Gel on a surgical scar. It works great and I'll always recommend it to anyone.

“My daughter was in my brothers backyard playing one afternoon. My daughter was bending down to get her shoe and the dog thought she was playing catch and scratched her face while she was bent down. The claws opened her cheek and we had to rush her in an ambulance to the ER where she later received 62 stitches. . Thanks to Mederma®, her cheek has a less visible scar.”

“I just wanted to tell you how wonderful your product is. My 11- year-old daughter had between 15 and 20 warts frozen off her hands and knees. The scars that were left behind were so horrible for an 11 year old girl to look at each day (and her mother, too). We anguished over her scars for about 6 months and did not know what to do. As a last resort, we decided to try Mederma® for Kids™, and the result was simply amazing. Thank you so much for a wonderful product. I now tell everyone I know about Mederma® and suggest they use it faithfully for any scars.”

I got stretch marks after being pregnant and I've been hiding my belly. I was very skeptical when I decided to give Mederma® a try and it has changed my whole life. The stretch marks are about 70% gone and I wish I had before and after pictures but because of my skepticism I didn't take pictures. I also had a total abdominal hysterectomy in February and the scar on my belly is also fading after using Mederma® Scar Gel since March (twice a day). I used Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy for 3 months. I love what Mederma® has done for me. I will be wearing a bikini to the beach this summer.

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!

“I had to have a tumor removed on the side of my face, and of course I was mortified to hear the word tumor, but the doctor reassured me that it was not cancerous. I talked with my doctor about my concern of the scarring afterwards . He reassured me that it would hardly be noticeable, especially if I tried Mederma®. I have to say I was a skeptic, but I'm glad I used this product, because I'm quite sure my scar would be more noticeable now if I had not used it. I'm quite pleased with the outcome using Mederma®, because my scar is barely visible. Thanks, Mederma®!”

“I had a heart attack and had to have emergency by-pass surgery. I awoke from surgery with a large and ugly cut on the inside of both my legs. One of the cuts went above the knee. I also had a nasty looking scar from my breast bone almost to my belly button. I was devastated and embarrassed to go around with the ugly scars. I looked online and found Mederma® and thought I would give it a try. Thank God I did. The scars are much improved. . I just wanted to say thank you, and this product has really worked.”

"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 scar. I just could not wait another minute to thank you for this wonderful product. Thank you, Thank you so much."

"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."

“I have had two shoulder surgeries in the last few years, so I have two different scars: one on the back of my shoulder and one in the front. The first surgery, I did not use Mederma®, the second one, I did. There is definitely a big difference in the appearance of the scar that I used Mederma® on! Now, I'm using Mederma® on my old scar, and it is improving! Thanks so much!”

“I had scarring on my lips and had to go to a doctor that specializes in corrective surgery. In order to assist in the healing process, I decided to use Mederma® after seeing the commercial. The results are amazing. My scarring became less visible! I still have to go back to my doctor for a follow-up procedure, but I'll use Mederma®, because I know Mederma® works!”
