Who it is for

For care of healed scars after injury, surgery, burns or acne. Wait until a wound has closed, any scab has come away naturally and stitches have been removed. It is not a treatment for an open wound or infection.

How to use

Apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry, healed skin and massage gently. Use daily according to your pack. The manufacturer describes at least 8 weeks of use for new scars and 3 to 6 months for older scars; results vary. Check the full ingredients on the tube or carton for allergies.

Frequently asked questions

Can I apply it to a fresh wound?

Is Advanced Gel the same as Mederma For Kids?

No. Advanced Gel, For Kids and PM Overnight Cream are separate products. This product is one 20ml tube of Advanced Gel.

Will it remove a scar completely?

Complete scar removal is not guaranteed. It is intended to improve the appearance of healed scars gradually.
