Consistent is the key
Works with CONSISTENT Nuse. I am 67. Had vicious cystic acnhe decades ago. Had CO2 laser, 70% improvement This product has amazing results. It lessens the look of the remaining scarring immensely and works on lines too.

fingers crossed
i use on my knee scars every night and have started to see minor fading. obviously i don’t expect the appearance of them to disappear right away but i am hopeful! i just use a small amount every night and it doesn’t dry my skin or cause any peeling!

Itchy Irritation
After 2 uses my skin began breaking out in itchy bumps immediately after application. There was redness which lasted through the night and into the next day, accompanied by small irritated bumps. I'm disappointed because I love the rest of their products! If you have sensitive skin you may want to reconsider the scar gel. I love their dark spot treatment and it works great on my combo acne-prone skin. The smell is chemically but tolerable and the application is nice and smooth. Unfortunately, the irritation and significant time commitment of this product is not worth it in my opinion.

Disappointed
You've added retinol to this new formula. Which caused a negative reaction. I'm positive of this. It burned. Might send to a lab to be tested.

Bakuchiol
I already see a difference in my skin after 1 use. I get excited to apply it every night. It smells like chemicals but it gives a glow. The next morning, my skin looks smoother. It’s one of those products you wanna stock up on in case they ever discontinue it. I’m wondering if it’s something I can implement in the a.m. as well due to the glow.

Fits well into routine
I love the regular Differin with adapalene so I decided to give a few other products a try. I have several noticeable areas on my face that I’m looking to reduce scarring and have been using this for a few weeks. No noticeable improvement so far but I will definitely use up the rest of the tube and possibly buy again as it does fit in well with my routine!

Mediocre product for acne scars
This product does help with acne scarring but only with consistent use. This product takes about three weeks to fade recent red scars. However, older scars take about a month to two months to fade but some redness is still left over. I would repurchase this product again only If it was on sale as the results do not really justify the price.

Results surprised me!
I picked this up this on clearance - I’ve used the differin OTC adapalene for about a year. The results of this surprised me - after 3 weeks of use my skin is noticeably more refined, softer, and scars have been reduced! I use this in the morning all over under my moisturizer. It goes on very smoothly, doesn’t interfere with my makeup. Does not irritate my skin or dry me out (but my skin is already used to differen so that may be why). Standard differen has been great for my acne and fine lines, but somehow the resurfacing gel improves my skin texture in a different way. I’m not quite sure why it works so well based on the ingredients listed? I’ll be repurchasing when it runs out. A little of this goes a long way. And remember to use sunscreen with this!

Love
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this! I have extremely sensitive skin and this doesn’t bother it at all! It doesn’t make it itchy, burn, red or flaky! I’m not sure exactly how well it’s living up to its claims but I don’t think I’ve used it long enough to see

Improvement
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Differin resurfacing scar gel has made a great difference in the appearance of blemishes on my skin. I have brown skin and my scars are generally dark. This gel has given me a clearer skin tone. I have had no negative reactions.

Not working
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a problem with scar thickening whenever I get stitches. I was in an accident awhile back that left me with a rather ugly scar on my arm. I got this gel in hopes it would lighten it or smooth it, just help it not be so ugly..... I used the whole tube and it looks the same.

Absorbs nicely
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The texture of this gel is very nice. It is not greasy at all and absorbs easily without any lasting residue. Over an extended period of time, I did notice some slight lightening of a dark scar, but not a ton. Didn't expect a miracle though.

Great scar gel
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this scar gel to try because I have some acne scars from acne outbreaks throughout the months. It works so well and has minimized my scars by a lot. I love it so much and it has been a life saver tremendously. I would highly recommend this for all your scar needs!

Works amazing!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used thison on acne scars that i have had a hard time trying to get rid of. I used it daily for about a month and the results were great. My scars got smooth and went away. It is smooth to put on without getting sticky. It works very well and helps clear up scars. I would most definitely recommend this product to others! It works amazing!

It's ok
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I honestly think it works better in newer scars than older scars. It seems that the newer scars did go away pretty good. But older scars it made a bit of a difference but not hugely noticeable. At least on me. But I do like it for newer scars that's for sure! Easy to use. Rub it in and let it go. Smells a bit strong but the smell to me doesn't really linger around on the skin either.

No difference
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this product for several weeks. I did not see a difference in my skin. I like other products by this company, but this one just did not work for me. I did not see an improvement in my skin at all.
