Here is yet another acne skin treatment that claims to provide all your answers to curing acne!

They product is called Bruunhause and I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole, here’s a few reasons why!

First off, I know companies have to sell you their products, but this one just takes hype to new levels.  It says it’s the “Strongest Acne Serum in the World”.  Is it really?  Was an independant study carried out or did they test it against every acne skin treatment in the world?  I doubt it!  And if the really did there is no documented proof to back up their claims.

And I couldn’t believe there’s no ingredients page!  Among others things having a list of the ingredients is one thing you should look for before purchasing.  I have some allergies so I definitely couldn’t buy this without contacting them.  I thought maybe it was just difficult to find on the site – but no, I checked everywhere and nothing!

The picture of the bottles are big, which may fool you into believing they are quite sizeable but I noticed that there is only 2.2oz in each bottle.  And wait for it … 1 little bottle costs $107!

The next thing that struck me was the use of the word ‘bhatologist’.  I thought maybe it was a technical word I had never came across but after searching google and dictionairies I found no reference to the meaning of this word.

One of the main things I look for before purchasing online is a money back guarantee.  However, if you buy this product you’re out of luck!  And the reason … because they offer a big discount!!  Money back guarantees show that the company believe in their product and acknowledge that it may not work for everyone.  The fact that Bruunhause don’t have a guarantee shows what little concern they have for their customers.

Most acne sufferers are left with scars from past outbreaks even if they have managed to control future outbreaks. There are many potions and lotions that proclaim to improve scar healing.  One of these is the non prescription Mederma skin care for scars – for use on any type of scarring including acne.

What is Mederma Supposed To Do?

Mederma is advertised as “skin care for scars.” The manufacturer claims that it is the “#1 physician recommended product for scars.” It is supposed to help scars appear “softer and smoother”.

It is commonly reported that wounds heal best under moist conditions because this allows the skin to heal faster and thus scars are less noticeable.  With that in mind the Mederma acne scar healing product is gel based but becomes water-like in consistency as soon as it is applied to the skin.

For Mederma to be effective, it is suggested that it should be rubbed into your scar 3 or 4 times a day. According to the instructions, it should work in 8 weeks for new scars, or 3-6 months on older scars.

It is important to note that Mederma should not be used on open wounds on the skin. Obviously if you’ve chosen to use this product you want to start applying straight away but you must adhere to this advice and wait until the wound is fully closed.

What Are Mederma’s Ingredients?

Water (purified)
PEG-4
Allium Cepa (Onion) Bulb Extract
Xanthan Gum, Allantoin
Fragrance
Methylparaben
Sorbic Acid.

The active ingredient is the onion extract which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and to improve collagen organization in an experiment.

What are the pros of the Mederma acne scar healing product?

With many acne scar healing products the smell can be overpowering but users of Mederma report that it has a light scent which is hardly noticeable.

Another benefit is it’s ability to work on both new and existing scars.  Users say it is easy to use because it is greaseless and dries fast so can be conveniently applied throughout the day wherever you are.  The product is not only restricted to acne it can be helpful with stretch marks, surgical scars and other types of scars.  Users also find that it is gentle enough to be used on childrens skin. There are also no warnings that it shouldn’t be used by pregnant or nursing women, so you’d assume that it would be safe but it’s best to get medical advice to be on the safe side.

What are the cons of the Mederma skin care product?

Many people say it is expensive but it depends on your budget and how you view the investment.  A complaint from users is that you do have too use quite a generous amount each application or at least that’s what is suggested.

Another issue for some is that minor itching is possible in the first week or two of application.  This could lead to severe itching or swelling and you’ll have to discontinue use and consult your doctor.  Some users state that there is no immediate results but obviously this will vary for each person and depend on the severity of the acne scar.

What you must remember with any acne scar healing product is that nothing can make scars completely disappear.  The Mederma product is no different, just make sure you give it enough time to work before giving up.
