Customer Reviews

Easy to use, too early to tell about the results
I've only been using this product for four weeks and full results
are suggested in twelve weeks. Unlike some other reviews, I find
that Neosporin Scar Solution stays on quite well. I first tried
Curad Scar Therapy but those pads are very sticky and were pulling
at the skin too much - I showed it to my dermatologist and she
highly recommended that I get the Neosporin, which I ordered through
Amazon. More stars to come if the results are good!

Sort of work, but just doesn't stick
After about two months of use, I have mixed feelings about these. Noticed a marked improvement in the height of raised scars (they are much smoother) but no improvements otherwise (in color/size), meaning scars that were not raised already have shown no improvement.

Biggest complaint is that they just don't stick well. When you first open a new one, it will probably stick well for about a 12 hours (the recommended amount of time to wear one in a day), as long as you aren't too hairy (and I am, they peel off my arms right away). But you are supposed to be able to re-use them for several days - yet after the first day, they barely stick at all (the directions say to wash them every day with water - I was skeptical at first that this would help, but it actually makes them stick better - just not well enough). Don't even think about wearing them at night without tape - they will peel off and get lost (or stuck in your hair :P ).

Overall:

The Good:
- seem to work well on raised scars
- bandages are fairly large, by cutting them up i can cover 3 scars with one bandage
- are good for about 5-6 days if you keep taping them down

The Bad
- don't stick - whatever you pay for these, expect to pay about that much again in medical tape (i use scotch tape because i am cheap)
- haven't helped with the color or size of scars (i don't really care that much, i was just curious if these would work - but for most people, i imagine this is the most important aspect)


Final Word:
2 stars, until I see more improvement. If you are particularly worried about your scars, I recommend seeing a dermatologist before you plop down 30 bucks for these.

Does not stick!!!!!!
I tried to use these for a scar on my arm and could not get it to stay on my skin for more than 10 minutes. Especially under clothing. And they expect you to wear it for up to 12 weeks!! I do not recommend this product unless you enjoy wearing a great deal of medical tape on your body to hold the strip in place.
