Any Luck with Stretch Marks?
Has anyone had any luck getting rid of stretch marks or even just making them lighter? I know that they are what they are but I have to ask! Are there any creams or treatments out there that actually work?

All through my pregnancy and after I used the Body Shop's Brazil Nut Body Butter. It's mostly cocoa butter and shea butter with brazil nut oil. I have no idea if it's what made the difference, but it feels great and I only have one teeny tiny faint stretch mark on the side of my stomach that I noticed about 2 months after having my son. I still like the Body Butter, even now that my son is 10 months old, so in that regard it is definitely not a waste of money (I think it's about $15 for a container unless you get it on sale - which they do 2x/year)

Hi K.,
Try Avon Stretch Mark cream $12.50 a bottle but less when they have a sale and use 2X daily. After your shower in the morning and at night. Rub on your troubled spots While they don't go away I have been using the cream since I was pregnant and after and they are definitely more faded.
I have also used Palmers cocoa butter cream...Good to also use :D
Mary Kay firming Cream. Also very good.
Strivectin that sells for $100 a waste of your money....in my opinion.
You could also try Mustela however, that sells for about $30 and I don't think it does any better than Avon or Palmers. Palmers you can get at any Walmart or drugstore.
Best wishes J.

I've used Strivectin and it helped a little (although it is very pricey!). I then tried Mary Kay Cellulite Treatment (a 2 step process) and it really helped. They are still there, but not as deep as they were!!! I was so excited! I am a MK consultant, so please contact me if you would like to try to Cellulite treatment... you can check it out on my website www.marykay.com/hqueen. Good luck!!

I got them pretty bad...even on my thighs. I didn't try anything but they have faded. The ones on my stomach and hips have faded more than the ones on my thighs. I hate them so much!! I am interested to hear what others say.

Hello! I did cocoa butter I don't like it because it takes such a long time to absorb into your skin.
I've heard vitamin e oil works really good, but you have to use it religiously.
