I have two very active boys, and one of them is always hurting themselves.  I learned early on that would have to deal with would be scars on their bodies.  But on their faces?  No way!  When my youngest son, Dillon, received a pretty bad gash just above his eyebrow, I could tell it was going to scar.  Not my baby!

A friend told me about Mederma and how it works to reduce the appearance of scars.  I was impressed with it as soon as she told me she used it after surgery, to erase the scaring left at Lithroscopic surgery.  I headed out immediately in search of this miracle cream.

I found Mederma at my local Kmart, and WOAH!  This stuff is expensive!  I think I paid about $ 13.00 for a small tube of Merderma!  Although it was pricey, I paid the price because I'd heard from my friend how well it works.  They make a Mederma for kids, but I bought the regular tube because I figure it's something we'll all need at some point.

I waited for my son's gash to completely heal and then began applying Mederma twice a day.  After about two weeks, I could tell a dramatic difference in the appearance of his scar!  Impressive.  Since it worked well for him, I began applying it to a scar I'd had for a few months on my forehead.  Guess what?  GONE!  Amazing!!!  So, I pressed my luck and tried Mederma on my stretch marks I have from pregnancy.  Well, I guess those stretch marks have really set in because it didn't make a dent it them.  HOWEVER, I would give it a try if you have just given birth, or maybe even as a preventive measure during pregnancy.  (Trust me.  IF it works, the price would be worth it)

I keep a tube of Mederma in my medicine cabinet all the time now.  With my active sons being so active, it's a smart investment.  You never know when they'll get hurt next! 

Don't just cover up your scars with creams and makeup.  Remove them (or at the very least FADE THEM) with Mederma.  I'd recommend it!

I wish this worked on old scars.My son has a wicked scar between his eyes from a bad fall but it's too old now to treat. He likes it so I guess it's all good. lol.

Thanks for reviewing this. I was wondering how effective it would be. I am very accident prone and like you, I don't mind if the scar is there as long as it's not on my face.
