Removes Moles with some work
16 Aug 2012
By Ashley D.
- Published on Amazon.com
This product works and if you have a mole (or moles) that you want
removed and you don't want to spend the time or money going to the
dermatologist, then this is probably your best choice. Although it is
not an easy or pain-free fix, so be prepared for a little work when your
package comes in the mail.
My experiences with Dermatend have been very good for the most part. Over the course of three weeks I have successfully removed two moles from my stomach. If you follow the directions and are diligent with process, then this stuff will work to remove moles. Just keep in mind its not as easy as every one makes it sound. And it hurts some too!
If have warts or skin tags you want to get rid of I would first explore easier and less expensive alternatives, not to mention less painful! Tea tree oil totally works for skin tags and warts and it doesn't hurt or burn other parts of the skin (100% Australian Tea Tree Oil + FREE Tea Tree Oil Soap Bars). I had a skin tag underneath my arm in the armpit area and used tea tree oil for a week and it was gone. My husband did the same thing with a wart on his arm and it also went away within two weeks and does not leave any red marks or scarring either.
With that being said, I wouldn't even bother trying to use tea tree oil on stubborn moles so thats where Dermatend comes in. Just don't be afraid to scratch the first layer of skin on the mole with the nail file thingy it comes with. And if it scabs up then next day and hurts a little do not worry because that means its working. I had to repeat this process with one mole which was bigger than the other but after that it also was pretty much gone. Just be careful, follow the directions and if you need more details you can find them online. i just typed in "how to use dermatend" and plenty of info popped up. Good luck!

It actually works

I give it 5 stars just for the simple fact that it does what it
claims. If you use this as directed, you'll be very suprised. It's a
little messy, I had to do 2 applications, took about a day and a half
til I could go 'bandaid-less' without the paste. 1 actually came off
yesterday (started the whole process 4 days ago) and the others
definitely look like they are going to soon. It is a little painful
& itchy (not to mention gross) but nothing awful. Those small round
bandaids are perfect for this. I'll update this once they start to heal
(the one that came off kind of looks like a little burn wound right now)
and maybe I'll have during/after photos then. Also, it didn't really
affect the healthy skin around it very much, and I know I wasn't very
careful about applying it. Overall, it's worth the money. Careful about
putting this in a place where others can see, it'll take a bit to heal
and it turns the spot BLACK until it falls off. Wanted to also say the
customer service is GREAT, the guy was super quick to reply to my emails
and very nice/professional. I'll update in a few weeks!
update 3/27: All gone but a few holes/divots are left behind, not healed yet though and still red. Using neosporin and bandaids 24/7.
update 4/6: Divots have filled in, looking SO much better, just a bit red and discolored. Just started using prefer on scar treatment.
update 5/26: about half of the moles are starting to grow back (although smaller and flat). others are scars that lighten every week but still quite noticeable. will reapply to the ones reappearing.
update a year and half later: reapplied and they are ALL gone still, and the scars have almost vanished, just a teeny touch lighter than the surrounding skin, but certainly not noticeable.
updated 3.5 years later: still all gone. :)

Fantastic Stuff! Safe, Effective and No Scarring!
26 July 2009
By mystical pippin
- Published on Amazon.com
I have some skin tags on my neck and some small moles on my face that
have been popping up periodically over the years.They came from sun
damage and aging. They have always bothered me because I didn't acquire
them until my thirties.
I could have them removed by either laser treatment which is highly exhorbitant with no guaranty they won't scar or come back. Or I could do the freezing or cutting off at a doctors office which is very painful and they usually come back.
I first heard about Dermatend and other similar products from doctors years ago. A doctor I worked for applied it to a mole on my face. It'worked - it fell off in 4-5 days and it's never come back but it was a long time ago aND I don't live or work near them now so I did some research online and found the dermatend.
It's safe and when used properly very effective - no scarring. I've seen a few bad reviews here from others stating that it didn't work or they could do it on their own just as well - but I didn't see them explain how they used the product. I think it's real important to follow the instructions from the packaging which can be a bit vague but if you watch the online video you will be fine. you only need a tiny little bit for it to work. The package said I could remove 2-3 moles or skin tags with the amount I purchased but I've already removed 5-6 and I still have half left. So use it sparingly - this will help you get it directly on the mole or skin tag instead of the surrounding area too.
The key is be as precise as possible. Use sparingly, especially the first time, keep a steady hand when applying, & use a healing salve afterwards! Be sure to have a steady hand and let it dry before putting any bandage on it. If you put the bandage on too quickly you will smear the medication on the surrounding area which could cause some slight scarring so make sure the medicine has dried first. And also, make sure you put vaseline on the skin surrounding the mole BEFORE you start so that it protects it from the medicine. If you use my tips here there will be no scarring - but I also use really good facial products too - I've been using these products for years that have strong healing properties. So make sure you have a good skin healer and use it.
I use Skin Biology products which are copper peptide protiens that heal and rebuild skin cells. It actually heals scars! They're made by the doctor who discovered copper peptides. You can just google Dr.Loren Pritchard or copper peptides and you'll find his site.
All in all Dermatend does work extremely well and for the price you pay you can't beat the cost - its at least 10 times cheaper than a doctors office visit & procedure.
