Wonderful Product!

Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing, amazing
I am a nut about scar products. I have some scars from cystic acne and this has helped immensely. It is less expensive than most of the other products similiar to it, which I love. The rollerball glides well and I couldn't be happier with this product. Love this line!

Can not say enough good things about this serum. I have acne and sometimes the scars are raised and look awful. After just a couple of days they were remarkably smaller and flatter. Honestly I can not believe it! Totally worth the money. After a few weeks the scars were barely visible. Great stuff.

Mild results after nine days
-05.07.13
Quick Take: moisturizing
I bought this nine days ago and have already noticed some mild results. I have scars of varying depths on my face from acne. There has been some improvement in the shallower ones, but no noticeable difference in the deeper indents. I also have a large raised scar on my upper arm from a accident about twelve years ago; this one has seen more marked improvement than the indented scars. It has almost complete flattened out and when I run my index finger across the area I can hardly feel it. The coloration has improved as well.
Given my experience thus far, I have to conclude that this cream is incredibly effected on raised scars and (so far) not effective on indented acne scars. However, the acne scars may need more time, so I will follow up on this review after the recommended eight weeks.

Works OK, no miracle
-05.07.13
I am a compulsive skin picker which has resulted in numerous pitted and wavy scars on my face. I got this to see if I could flatten them out any. While this is no miracle product, some of the less severe scars are very slightly better.

Miracle serum
-04.15.13
This has probably been my best Sephora purchase to date. I have tried absolutely every product out there to get rid of or hide my acne scars and i picked this one up on an impulse. After only 3 days I have already noticed some of my worst scars are fading and all of them are much smoother making them easier to conceal. I have combination skin and it is already working on both the dry and oily parts of my face. I would definitely recommend this product!

Was Hopeful...
-04.11.13
I know KS has a great reputation for skin care. This is my first product purchase from the line. I have a few scars on my chin & upper lip from past blemishes. Unfortunately, I used the product for a few days & I broke out in the same spots that I was using the serum! I would have thought it was a coincidence except that I developed 2 blemishes in different spots where I was using the serum. I discontinued use & will try again to give it 2nd chance. Everyone in the reviews raves about it.

It does work!
-04.01.13
I was pretty skeptical at first because I've used many other products to clarify my acne scars. I know that Kate Somerville skincare line is pretty awesome so I just gave it a go. Not even 8 weeks, but after only a couple of days using this product I definitely noticed a dramatic difference in the coloration of my acne scars. They have started to fade away!!!!! It's been now about 2 and a half weeks using this product and I absolutely love it!

it works!
-03.30.13
I have super sensitive skin and I've used other kate somerville products before and they haven't caused me any issues. I have one scar on my face that is maybe four years old. It's not very deep but it's redder and more noticeable than I'd like it to be. I decided I'd try this out and after three weeks it really made a difference! Slowly but steadily, my scar is becoming less red and less noticeable. I hope I continue to see a difference! It didn't irritate my skin at all. At first I was annoyed by the packaging which is a rollerball but it really helps to not waste the product. Overall? four stars. Glad it didn't irritate my skin and really glad it's made a difference after a short period of time.

Did nothing for my acne scars
-03.21.13
Pros
-Did not break me out
-No irritating scent
Cons
-When I applied it and rubbed it in, the lotion just sat on my face. Did not actually penetrate my pores.
-The finish of the lotion on my face was shiny, you could actually see where I placed it
-did nothing for new and old acne scars and I tried it religiously for about a month.
In the end this really did not diminish any of my scars or did anything at all for them. I returned it to Sephora. I was really bummed since I really do love Kate Somerville products.

Quick Take: kate sommerville scar diminishing serum, has done what it said it would do!, easy to apply and the metal ball is very helpful
This has worked wonders on a scar on my knee (not a new scar). It has taken all of the lumps out of the scar and done a beautiful job of smoothing the skin around the scar (12 stitches). The only thing it hasn't done is reduce the redness,

I picked up a sample of this at my local sephora, and needless to say, I was very impressed. I had a pimple that I had popped and after putting this on it, it was nearly healed over night! Amazing!

I usually don't write reviews, but this product is awesome. I have a very bad habit of picking on my blemishes, and of course it left scars after. This helped me a lot to diminish those scars! It says 8 weeks, but I saw the result by less than a week! :)

Great for surgical scars!
-02.22.13
Had my 2nd c-section 9 months ago and within 3 days of use my fiancée could tell the difference already and pointed it out to me! It looks just like a line now! I've been using it on my acne scars too but can't tell the difference. Highly suggested for surgical scars! And this is my first review EVER! I've been a loyal sephora customer for many, many years now. This stuff is AMAZING!

A product that actually WORKS
-01.18.13
Quick Take: scar diminishing serum
I recently had Mohs surgery for basil cell carinoma on my nose January 10th and reconstruction on Jan 11th. I was told to run vitamin E on the area after 2 few weeks but moved up the timetable and bought Kate Somerville's D-Scar which is a a scar diminishing product - within one day I can visually tell the product is doing exactly what it professes to do. The plastic surgeon said to hold a warm compress on it 3x a day for two weeks - I do this and use the serum after. What an amazing product. It is great to purchase something that actually WORKS!!! Thank you Kate Somerville for putting a product out there that is totally incredible.
