I am looking to fade scars left over from tattoo removal. Will this work for that kind of scaring? Also, is this product or nighttime cream better?

Honestly I dont think this will have much use for tattoo scar fading. This is for more minor scars.

I prefer the regular Mederma but you have to continue to use it in order for it to work. It will give you guaranteed results.

Your skln will not get darker from the use of this cream unless you burn it. I have only peeled in tiny spots on my neck. One thing people need to understand about these type of products is that this is long term. My skln has a more even color then it has ever had. My face has never peeled in a way you could see it peeling. This is a product you would use for a long time. I wish I had started this year's ago.

I've seen a blog that showed great results from 50%. I don't remember the exact site but do a google search. he showed before and after images after one use and it faded a lot. I believe he used 50% for 4 minutes then reapplied for another 4 mins then neutralized and washed off. Im thinking to try this later but I also saw an article linking TCA to liver cancer so I'm on the fence about it. I definitely got no results trying to fade with glycolic acid, so it's either TCA or laser, but don't listen to people who say TCA doesn't fade tattoos.

Yes, it works with the scar as my husband got scar from chicken pox as well, but you can't apply every night as your face will burn and be more damage.

Hello. I have battled with acne my entire life and still do. My acne has been moderate but slightly more severe here recently, I'm 24. I would suggest this product but not for acne scars, the only thing I've found that works so far is bio oil. I used it every day sometimes twice a day just before bed and at the start of day. I'm not gunna lie it's greasy as hell use it fresh out of the shower and/or right after washing your face. I was impressed with the results, my skin had a slightly more youthful appearance and a significantly smoother look which u know makes a world of difference lol. Now for discoloration I use an all natural method a lil weird but a potato. Slice a thin layer off each day and rub the juice all over especially on the effected area. Google it! Potatoes have a chemical in them that stops hyper pigmentation that causes the dark marks but won't bleach your skin. Sorry this was so long but this is what works for me thanx.

I've been using it for help with dark spots, and it helps. I'm sorry, I don't know about the indented scars. I can only assume it would help some, but maybe dermabrasion would give better and more immediate results.

It just fades the look, I use it to tone down freckles! The more u put it on there darker the area gets which makes it noticeable. Not recommended for tattoos or dark birth marks it only tones and blends the color down ...

In my case, it doesn't work very well on decreasing the redness of the scar. I have been using it for 4 months now. All that I can say is it works to stop the scar from spreading out, and softens it as well. However, to minimize the scar would take a rather long time (imo). The bottle would last me another 5 months, and I hope I could see some distinct results.

I believe I've read reviews for those who have used it for acne and it worked. I'm not positive tho. I do know I love the product for surgical scars and would HIGHLY recommend the scaraway products.

It's definitely helping me (an old small indented scar). I've been using it every night for 3 months now and the scar is slowly but surely filling in. I suggest you use msm cream along with another alpha hydroxy serum (like physician's formula), especially at night. The aha serum helps to exfoliate your skin, assisting the msm cream to penetrate deeper for it to work even better. Alternatively, you could use it right after using your Clarisonic/ home microdermabrasion system which pretty much does the same thing as an aha. The key is to be very regular in using the cream. I use it only at night, every single day. Either right after applying the aha serum to a freshly washed face or after using the neutrogena microdermabrasion system.

I do it before bed and it works amazing. It doesn't wash off and lasted for a 2 weeks after I stopped using it (got Tattoos and can't use it for a couple of weeks) but is honestly worth the money!

Hello Philip, It is optional whether you use a night cream after you have applied our Serum. It really depends on your skin condition - how oily or dry it is. You may find that you are perfectly okay to use it by itself.

Scars do not go away overnight and some people probably didn't see results right away and gave up. It takes time to see results and also you cannot expect that scars will disappear all the way.

I had great results removing black ink from a tattoo. You have to kep it on long enough to cause a blister. Im really not sure how it would work for dark stains being that's probably more tissue damage. Ive heard laser treatments can work for that. For the price it wouldn't hurt to try I would say. Good luck.

No! This would be terrible is you are asking to use as a night cream. It's not anything that nourishes your skin, it fils in and smooths fine lines and wrinkles. It goes under makeup. It's not a skin care regimen.

Hi there..It does NOT work on scars. i have been using this product for over 10 years, and i sell it because it is so great. CAPS INTENTIONAL: DO NOT BUY IT FOR SCAR HELP. it will not work and you will waste your money. it is an excellent moisturizer, but do not buy it if you are prone to breakouts or have pimples as it can make them worse. again...it is a great moisturizer for all over the body and face. hope this helps you.

sorry i dont think i can answer that for you cause i use it to get rid of some hyperpigment/tatoo i have. it does make your skin peel, if u purchase do dilute with water and have baking soda on hand. the baking soda will neutralize the acid. im not sure bout the scar depends on your skin type. im asian and it didnt help me with my hyperpigment at all. as for the scars im not sure.
