A member asked:

Does mederma clog pores? i want to use it for acne scars and i don't want it to clog and cause more pimples. thanks!

No but: No. But don't expect much. The differin (adapalene) will do much more for you. You don't need to complicate things or waste money on this borderline product. Control the acne & your skin will slowly heal very well.

It's not really: The best product for acne scars. Best to see your local dermatologist for recommendations.
