Meh
I use a lot of Skin Medica products. This did not seem up to their typical excellent standards.

Helps with red scars
I have been using SM gel for several weeks on a burn scar and it has helped turn the scar from red to a barely brown color. Hoping with time the scar will eventually blend into skin color. The secret is consistency with the applications.

Nice product; hefty price
This is EXPENSIVE. So far, it seems like a great product: came highly recommended by doctors I trust, feels nice, does not irritate sensitive skin. For as expensive as it is, I thought I would need less of it, like it would be thicker and a little would go further, but that is not the case.

Doesn't work well for price
Easy to apply, clear instructions. I normally love this brand but haven't noticed a big difference yet with use of this gel on my scar.

Really Helps
I have a huge scar on my thigh from three hip operations. This product really seems to be causing the scar to fade. It dries quickly, and does not stain clothing.

Pleasantly surprised
I really didn’t have much expectation as I had tried a skincuticals brand prior and wasn’t happy with the results. This product however I am able to tell a difference, I’ve been using it diligently for the past three weeks and the scar has lightened up. I’ll continue to use it until it’s gone.

Used for 2 surgeries
Love this scar gel. I've used another high-end brand but it doesn't compare to this one. I've used it on 2 different surgeries with great results both times.

Scar serum
I bought this serum for my grandson. He was in an accident involving a chain saw. He is 5 and good about letting his mom put this on. It’s light and has no smell. The injury is only about 6 months healed but I think with continued use this is and will help reduce the appearance. The pink already seems improved

Scar Recovery Gel Review
I’ve only been using this product for about two weeks, so it’s hard for me to see the difference. However, when I had a facial two days ago my aesthetician noticed the change and commented that it looks much better. She’s the professional and she sees my skin monthly, so that’s good enough for me!

Scar recovery gel
This gel goes on very nice initially. It feels smooth and cool making one feel that it’s a healing balm on the scar tissue. All that said, if you want to wear it outside or under/over makeup, be aware that it will flake. I don’t believe I’ll purchase this again.

The Only Scar Cream That Works
After a suspicious mole (thankfully benign) was removed by my plastic surgeon - he recommended - rather, he actually insisted - that I use Skin Medica Scar Recovery Gel. He advised that it is the only effective scar treatment. He advises all his patients to use it to resolve scarring. He was right. Skin Medica Scar Recovery Gel made a facial scar virtually unnoticeable. It is highly effective and requires such a small amount of product. It is a miracle in a tube. At first it does make the area pink but that quickly resolves and you literally watch the scar disappear following the 2x a day regimen. I recently had a single stitch after a puncture biopsy -(again thankfully benign) and Skin Medica Scar Recovery Gel is in the process of working its magic. Highly recommend this product.

I’ve been using on saves from surgery for about 3 weeks and see a big difference already . They went from dark red to light pink and improving more every day

So Cool!
I have been rubbing this lovely scar cream into a large surgical scar on the top of my foot. It also massages in like an oil. I recommend it to anyone who wants to rid themselves of an unpleasant scar.

SCAR RECOVERY GEL
This is a nice, thick gel so it applies easily. It dries quickly so your clothes don't get sticky. A little bit goes a long way. I have only been using it a few weeks on a fresh scar so can't really tell if it has made much of a difference yet. If you have a large scar I would suggest you order the larger size.

New scars=reordered!
I first used SkinMedica’s Scar recovery gel after having Mohs surgery on my face. It was a terrible triangular scar just below my nose. I used the gel morning and night and after a year, there was quite an improvement. At that point I was at the dermatologist for a checkup and asked if she thought it might improve any more, and she said she thought it was as good as it was going to get. But I persisted, and yes it was 2 years in all, but it did improve and many friends have said it’s not even noticeable any more. So now I’ve had a rotator cuff surgery, which left 5 small scars. Got a brand new tube. It will work again. Get it and don’t give up. It totally pays off.

Amazing
I had Mohs surgery on the front of my calf and was concerned about the size and prominence of the scar. My esthetician recommended this product. I have been using it about a week and scar is hardly noticable. I highly recommend this product!

This really made a difference in my scar after surgery
I had ankle reconstruction surgery last November and the scar was terrible! I tried SkinMedica after first trying another expensive brand but this one wins out by far! I tried one with allantion and the scar felt slightly moisturized but nothing more and then I found out you can buy it in a drugstore for like 5 bucks. When I found the SkinMedica my scar actually started healing! Not only does it look 100 percent better but I felt like I previously had nerve damage and all the feeling came back after I started using this. My boyfriend even said he can barely see the scar now. It's a miracle worker!

SkinMedica Skin Recovery Gel with Centelline
I have been using this SkinMedica Skin Recovery Gel with Centelline for a couple of weeks. The scar is from January near my eyebrow. I was using samples I had received from my dermatologist. In my opinion, this scar gel is taking the redness out of the scar. I am happy with the results so far. Makeup and concealer go on smoothly over the gel.

Minimal difference
I was hoping for more with this, but even with consistency, I saw a very minimal difference with the scar I purchased it for.
