What the gurus are saying

The experts who reviewed it found the hydrating ingredients promising, but both steered people away from this formula. The fragrance it contains can irritate skin and potentially worsen scars, they noted. Those looking to treat scars may want to reach for plain medical-grade silicone instead, which the gurus favor over the onion extract and vitamin E blend Mederma relies on.

"I like silicone gel or silicone sheets more than vitamin E or onion extract with Mederma. Those have very mixed results to not impressive results."

"It has sodium hyaluronate, the salt of hyaluronic acid, that's very hydrating. It does have fragrance though, which again can be irritating and ultimately aggravate scars, so not like the best option. You'd be much better off with just plain medical grade silicone."
