True MEDERMA® stories from people like you. The best way to learn about MEDERMA® is to talk to someone who’s used it. But reading these stories is the next best thing. I am 15, and I’m thin, so I wasn't sure why I had big purple stretch marks on my upper thighs. My mom told me they weren’t permanent and would fade someday, but I felt embarrassed changing for gym. My dad bought Mederma for me to use on a scar on my face for a health project, and I used it on my stretch marks too. Amazingly, my stretch marks are almost gone and I don’t have to worry anymore!  — Kelsey, NH [I] am writing to say how much I am satisfied with Mederma. I have a rare neuromuscular disorder called Myasthenia Gravis which is controlled with long-term, high-doses of steroids. The steroids have caused my skin to thin and caused stretch marks on about 90% of my body. I have tried many things but have only seen results with the use of Mederma. As a 19 year old female I am very glad that I’ve found something that works. — Jessica, PA I recently had my first baby, a beautiful little girl. Unfortunately for me, I fell victim to pregnancy stretch marks on my waist. This is more than embarrassing for me, being a young mother and constantly surrounded by my friends who have beautiful, flawless skin. I have tried every cream or lotion that has been suggested, before calling different surgeons to look into laser treatments. One of the nurses I spoke with told me that the laser idea doesn't work that well, and to use Mederma instead. I bought my first tube that day. It has brought my ugly stretch marks about three to four shades lighter already, and it's been not even 2 months. I feel more confident and more attractive than I have felt since my pregnancy began. —Tara, IN
