Yes: Mederma is safe to use after accutane. Its effectiveness has not been proven, whereas time will reduce redness.

Do you recommend scaraway scar diminishing serum for acne scars on face but only to fade the redness of it and not the actual scar. What about mederma?

2 doctor answers • 3 doctors weighed in

Would Mederma be effective for fading the redness of an acne scar ? Just the discoloration of the scar, would it be helpful ?
