Mederma Kids Skin Care - Reduces the Appearance of Scars, 1 Pediatrician Recommended Product for Scars, Goes on Purple, Rubs in Clear, Kid-Friendly Scent, 0.7 Oz (Package May Vary)

I bought this on sale for such a good price I thought I'd try it for myself on a scar I have on my neck. (I'm an adult). I didn't know if it was a milder strength or what the difference was with it being for kids but in just two weeks it's made an amazing difference on my scar. I used it twice a day for two weeks and already my scar is flatter and softer. I am totally impressed! Yes, this Mederma is purple, it has a pleasant scent and as an adult I like it better than the regular kind. I massaged it onto my scar for less than a minute twice a day, and then put another thin dab over my scar after I massaged the first application into my skin. There was no purple residue at all, don't know where it went but it disappears. My scar was a rather large and deep mole removal my dermatologist did and it left a thick and raised scar. I asked him about Mederma and he said don't bother, it doesn't work. Where he got that from I don't know, because it worked for me. You would think the dermatologist would have gotten positive reports from his patients, or maybe he had something else he was selling but I didn't ask about it because I figured if he did have something, it would be ridiculously expensive. Skip the expensive stuff and try this first! I'm going to keep up my twice a day routine and I'll report back in another few weeks *UPDATE* 12/8/2015 I meant to update sooner but it's all good news regarding this product - I continued to use this twice a day for several months and I am happy to report my scar is barely noticeable!! It is flat, smooth and not pink/red or white, same color as surrounding skin. I'm most impressed with how flat and soft it is. I can't say enough good things about Mederma. My advice is to be consistent. I automatically put some on whenever I brushed my teeth to remember. I used it sparingly and I still have half a tube left after it worked it's magic.

This scar gel is easy to apply and makes skincare less stressful for children. The purple color helps show where it has been applied, then it rubs in clear without leaving a noticeable residue. The scent is pleasant without being too strong, and the small tube is convenient to keep at home or carry while traveling. Consistent use is important, and results may vary depending on the scar.

I just started using this based on the recommendation of my pediatrician so I can't attest to how well it reduces scarring, but I can speak to the color and smell. It absolutely does dry clear. It only takes a very small amount to apply so maybe the reviewers that say it stays purple and looks dirty are using too much product. I also don't have a problem with the odor lingering. It smells like grape while applying but I don't notice the smell after a few minutes. So far I am very happy with the product. 3/13/14 Update: This product works. My daughter has four scars and only let me put the Mederma on three because she said the fourth burned. I can definitely see a difference. The scars that received the Mederma are lighter and smaller than the one that didn't. She's now letting me treat the fourth scar as well.

I wanted to wait a little bit before I wrote a review on this product. My kiddo had an unfortunate accident which left a gash on her cheek. I was terrified how bad the scar would be since the Urgent Care we went to, the nurse did a sucky job closing up the little gash. I did some research on multiple scar gels and looked at reviews and pictures of progression. Pictures are always so great to have. Her accident happened on February 25th. I would share the picture but it is ROUGH. So I’ve taken pictures throughout her healing process while I have been applying the mederma to her scar. It definitely has helped “flatten” the scar so it’s not as rough and bumpy. And I feel it’s healing very well. Between the accident and now (April 12th) it’s been about a month and a half of healing. Praying it continues to lighten up. I would definitely recommend this product to others.

I was told to get this after my son's fingers healed after a surgery he had to separate his webbed fingers (syndactyly) I don't like this stuff! It's slick, thin, sticky, purple, and smells strong! My son is only 14 months old so I'm sure you can imagine how much he loves me rubbing gel onto his hands. He hates it! He wants to speed around the house destroying things, not sit while mom rubs crap on his hands. The reason this matters is he's wiggly and doesn't like the process (his hands are also sore and sensitive ever since his surgery) and lots of times as I'm applying this he yanks his hand away and ends up smearing the crap on his clothes or my clothes, and whatever else is nearby. Because this stuff is super thin (not lotion or cream like at all, more like watery hair gel) it comes right off and I have purple all over the place! I eventually was advised that I could use straight up vitamin E oil instead and though I'd prefer to use the "good stuff" I do use the vitamin E oil almost exclusively because when my son smears it all over us while I'm putting it on him (and just after I put it on) it leaves *clear* oil behind. As in, you can't see it! So I don't have to change his clothes if we're going out because even though there's something on his shirt or pants or whatever, who cares if you can't see it and it's not "dirty." Just oil. So anyway, I wish so much Mederma would remake this without the purple coloring. Or the scent for that matter. I don't need my son walking around looking and smelling like he just had a grape popsicle :/

First Photo: 5/28/2018 Second Photo: 1/28/2019 My wife and I experienced one of the worst days when our family dog bit our son over a piece of food. After several stitches and many emotions of us never thinking our son would heal we flash forward to today with a happy and almost 100% scar free kid. We used Mederma, massaging and some other hydrating lotions over the past months to treat the scars. Thanks to the folks at Mederma for creating a product to help us heal in many ways. Photos are worth 1,000 words - they are untouched and straight from my phone. If you use it be diligent in using as much as possible (and as directed). Good luck and hope your not reading this because you are in the same circumstances as we were, if you are - it gets better!

Lifesaver when my daughter scraped her forehead pretty badly. We used it every day for her, it never bothered her or burned, and we saw a significant improvement in the scar.

My daughter had an incision done on her cheek and in the process for healing and not scar her face, I used this on her every night. It comes on purple but as you rub it couple times it blends in but with water it comes off. It definitely helped her with the healing process BUT my dermatologist changed it to Aquaphor instead as ur was taking more time to heal with the Mederma. I personally prefer and now use the aquaphor healing ointment and absolutely love it!! It definitely soothes the skin and helps soooo much better with scars!

la utilicé para una cicatriz en la barbilla hacia el lado izquierdo de unos 2 cm muy cerca del labio inferior. Me recomendaron colocarle esta crema, se la comencé a colocar 3 veces al día y a los 5 días tuve que dejar de colocársela porque tenia rojo en la zona. Dejé de colocarla un tiempo y luego empece de nuevo solo 1 vez al día en la noche ya para dormir a la mañana siguiente le colocaba una hidratante y como a los 8 días de nuevo tenia rojo al rededor y deje de colocársela. No sé si es por la zona de la cicatriz y/o ademas porque la piel es sensible pero no pude seguir colocándola. No digo que no sea buena pero a mi no me funciono. Ahora solo coloco protector solar si va a llevar mucho sol y un gel hidratante a base de aloe vera y le ha ido muy bien. Por suerte tiene la cicatriz delgada y nada abultada.

Good product. It was on sale but they didn't say it would expire in two months. It doesn't seem fair to me

Fast shipping. Easy to apply on my child with fun color and nice scent.
