Stretch marks

[Dana]

Anyone know a good cream or something to decrease stretchmarks from rapid weight loss?

I'm looking for Mederma right now. It's the only brand I've heard consistently good things about.

I'm assuming you have it there (you can get everything in America!), bio oil, I've heard it works really well but it can be pricey

 

[Dana]

never heard pf it... I'll look it up though. You can't get EVERYTHING in America LOL

There are oils you can buy online. My wife got them when she was pregnant. It was 6 years ago, but I am sure they still sell them.

In general, increased water consumption and daily moisturizing help. Cocoa butter works very well, as does Bio Oil. The price of Mederma balanced with the fact stretch marks cannot be completely erased would make it not worth the cost, to me. Definitely start out with some cocoa butter lotion (dirt cheap) and see how it goes from there.

Cocoa butter doesn't do crap for me And it stunk. I wish I could remember the brand I bought.

Hah! .... theres diff types of cocoa butter i had one in a bottle but its basically 'cream'.
Next thing it takes time to get rid of those stretch marks. =D

Cocoa butter totally fixed my skin! I love it! Smells horrible, but it's worth it to get rid of the lines.

I use sometimes bio oil i want to used it every day but can not afford it sometimes so i do stop often and then buy it again .. but does help a little

usually if are old mark wont do much but what it does is blend the colour of the stretch marks with the rest of the skin colour and make it to look much better even if not remove them it is look better to the eyes
that's what happen to mine maybe can not do much because are very old the marks was from when i was pregnant but i didn't know then to use anything


also HottyToddyChick said try Mederma that's what i want to try also but every time i want am out of money lol


Cocoa butter does nothing to me either and it is sticky and smell bad but make the skin great very soft


that is why i use bio oil leave the skin smelling great look good and feel soft and even the colour

Depending on the severity, they will fade overtime, but will always be present.. Oils/creams help prevent more than hide/diminish stretch marks.

My skin was so stretched with 2nd pregnancy, only thing that will get rid of them and the excess skin is surjury.

Sit ups and buttermilk, works great.

Apply lavender oil regularly on the stretch marks lines...Lavender oil have good healing property which helps to prevent the stretch marks.
