As a mom, you want your kids to be able to forget the scars of childhood. And for now, you probably care more about their physical scars than they do. Fortunately, there's Mederma® for Kids™.

Watch how Mederma Works

Mederma® for Kids™ is the #1 pediatrician-recommended product for kids' scars—resulting from cuts, scrapes, stitches, burns, bug bites and surgery. It helps soften and smooth scars with the same ingredients as clinically-proven Mederma®. It's greaseless, pleasant smelling, easy to use and formulated just for kids—the gel goes on purple and rubs in clear, so kids think it's cool.

In one study, children who applied Mederma® for Kids™ to their scar experienced a statistically significant improvement (vs. baseline) in the appearance, color, texture and softness of their scars at 4 weeks of use.

With Mederma® for Kids™, you can take charge of their scars today. And they won't have to think about them tomorrow.

MEDERMA® for Kids™ is easy to use! Just apply a thin coat to the scar, and gently massage it in 3 times daily. Use for 8 weeks on new scars and 3 to 6 months on existing scars. MEDERMA® for Kids™ is available in a 20 gram tube that lasts about three months on scars up to three inches long.

For external use only.
Not intended for use on open wounds.
This product should be used under adult supervision.

What is MEDERMA® for Kids™?

Made from a special botanical extract, MEDERMA® for Kids™ is a greaseless, topical gel that provides a pleasant smelling, easy, affordable way to soften and smooth scars resulting from cuts, scrapes, stitches, burns, bug bites and surgery.

When should I start using MEDERMA® for Kids™?

As soon as your child's wound has closed and healed, or after sutures are removed. Or for older scars, you can start using MEDERMA® for Kids™ right away.

Is MEDERMA® for Kids™ safe?

MEDERMA® for Kids™ is a non-toxic product safe for use on kids two and older. However, if your child experiences severe itching, swelling, or scar discoloration, discontinue use immediately. If symptoms persist, contact your pediatrician.

Will MEDERMA® for Kids™ make scars disappear?

Nothing can make a scar completely disappear. MEDERMA® for Kids™ helps scar tissue become softer, smoother, and less noticeable. All with the goal of helping your child feel better about his or her appearance.

What makes MEDERMA® for Kids™ different from other products?

Unlike cosmetic pads or silicone sheeting, MEDERMA® for Kids™ is a gel that goes on purple and dries clear when it's massaged into the scar. The treatment is invisible and effective. In one study, kids experienced a noticeable improvement at four weeks in the appearance, color, texture, and softness of their scars.

What is Cepalin®?

Cepalin® is the proprietary onion extract contained in MEDERMA® for Kids™. In MEDERMA® for Kids™, it softens and smoothes scars and reduces the redness of some raised scars.

“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.”Wendy, OH

“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. It is a life saver. I now tell everyone I know about Mederma® and suggest they use it faithfully for any scars.”Diane, TX

“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® once the wound healed a little. I used it faithfully four times a day for 8 weeks, and all he has now is one small scar above his eye.”Monica, IL

“My daughter accidently tripped and ran into an open door one day and got a big scar on the middle of her forehead. The next day, 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!”Kristin, TX

“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.”Lisa, PA
