Will this work on old chicken pox scars? I got them when I was 16 years old had them bad on face. As I've gotten older they look bigger. :(

You can try Kelo-cote ，It's better than Mederma ,but old scars is hard to clear.

I am not sure anyone here can give you that answer. The best bet is to contact Mederma directly and ask them. However, I believe this product works best on recent scars.

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.

I apologize but your question is missing important information which is your current age, so that I can tell how many years ago you were 16 years old. Assuming you are now 40 that makes it 24 years ago which is very long and the scars are permanent and I don't think there will be any noticeable change after using this. Thanks Thanks

The Premium Gel does have a positive effect on Keloid scars, it helps flatten them and fade them. Of course the reviews so clearly let me know that the fresher the Keloid the better the results. There are some scars that no product (short of laser or surgery) are going to fix. If the Premium Scar Gel doesn't do it then Kelo-cote nor Mederma will work either. Besides with this product you have a 60 day money back guarantee, if it doesn't make you happy you get your money back so that you may try something else. I don't think CVS, kelocote or Mederman will let you do that for 60 days. Give it a try.

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 am seeing some improvement in an old, old, old acne scar. It was slightly raised with a pit in the center, yuck. Anyway, it has begun to level out quite a bit. This is an unexpected bonus.

yes!!!! The 1.0 kinda hurt so I had to go gently but then it wasn't really puncturing my skin. Then I bought the .5 mm and I was able to run over my face like a steam roller and really tear it up (not bleed). Then I used Bacitracin to speed the healing. People are saying I look younger. I am 72 and Caucasian and blonde, probably my skin is thin. The thinness of my skin might be relevant, so these sizes may not be good for you after all.

I had a black butterfly on my forearm that was 30 years old and mostly homemade with professional recolorations and touchups. There is hardly any of it left, but I do have massive scarring. On my leg, I had red rose...all the red is gone but it left brown tinged skin (hyperpigmentation) but no scarring. I still need to do another application or two on both leg and arm, but will not do that until after summer is over. Good luck!.

My son has Acne and I have used it for my face and it was amazing but I would search online to see what works best for your dark spots bc not sure if this would be the route but you can check with the ones that sell this product they might be able to help best bc I never used it on my aging spots.

I don´t really recommend for a 75 year old skin. You should use another face cream.

Are you looking to remove them or something to sooth them? This makes a difference, yes it works on soothing and softening skin. But not for removing any scar tissue or open cuts.I hope this was helpful.

All the product states is that it will work on old scars, but no mention is made in regard to acne scars

I think it did a good job lightening the redness on my scar.. It's still visible but definitely better. It's not as raised either now which helps. Good luck with your healing!

use the skin therapy oil works perfect for scars, I use this everyday and my scars are almost gone, plus your skin tone is smother, in fact is like a new skin.

I bought this item to make homemade deodorant, and not for use on scars, so I couldn't tell you how it would work on them. Sorry.

This is a good question. I can honestly say I don't know. I would try it but be sure to use it every day.I know that for keloids a Dr can do steroid injections and that helps but I can't remember if they are as effective if the keloid is old. I would assume they would help since we turn over new skin all the time. So maybe look into doing both just to really see results. I hope this helps.

Good question - I wish I knew the answer. I use mine for my son's surgical scars. You might consult with your doctor to see what he/she thinks.

Hi Shannon:The scar I'm using it on is old so unfortunately itching doesn't apply. Sorry if this doesn't answer your question.

Absolutely!!! I have successfully used it on moles, skin tags, and even a wart. Please be aware that if it is a large mole, you may need to do the process more than once. I had a decent sized mole and after the first set of treatment, part of it came off and then in was a small mole. Lol So I repeated the process and the remaining mole came off. Understand that this process is very slow, just as it would be if you had them frozen off at the dermatologist. It takes several weeks and will scar. The scar will remain for several months, but WILL eventually fade away.
