| Any such thing as a stretch mark creme that works? I never had a stretch mark until I got pregnant and then I got literally hundreds of them (none of them on my belly which is weird) Does anyone know of any miracle cremes that actually work at fading stretch marks? Preferbly something that doesnt break the bank

| When I was preggo I tried everything and anything. Palmers, Biotherm (nice smell!), vitamin E...you name it, I tried it. I didnt get any stretch marks at all. I figure I should have because all the women in my family got them. Dermatologists will tell you that no cream or lotion will stop you from getting them, as genetics determine how many, if any at all, you will get. I guess I got lucky. My sisters tummy looks like a map (her words, not mine, lol). As far as I know, the only thing to get rid of them is surgery. If thats not the case, please tell me so I can pass the word on to my sister. |

| my best friend got them on her legs when she was pregnant because she was holding water and was so swollen - vitamin e helped a little, but they told her the only way to really lighten them permanently was laser treatment |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Go with the vitamin E capsules. You can break them open and put it directly on it. You can't get rid of them but you will be able to lighten them up so you really have to look to see them. Remember right now they also look darker because your hormones are raging. The dr. had told me that the hormones after birth keeps them looking darker.

| Sorry to tell you as far as I've seen there is no cream that will take away stretch marks....if they're a pinkish color time will/may turn them to a silvery white where there less noticeable..... From what I understand it's all genetics, some peoples skin can take more stretch than others, the stretch mark is when the skin has reached it's stretching capacity.....

| Avon has 2 available. Re-fine Stretch Mark Smoother and Super Shape Anti-Cellulite & Stretch Mark Cream. I've used both of them. They work but you need to use them consistently and that's one thing I'm not good at. I don't think you can ever make them completely disappear but these definitely fade them.

Donating YT 11K Club Member | i always heard coco butter works. Also my bros girl used belly butter by burt's bees, works great. She doesn't have one stretch mark. The creams from the body shop are also good, the ones in the jars cause they're thicker

| I STILL have my stretch marks from my son a year later. I only got them on my stomach, but I got my fair share of them. I told my Dr. I got cream to rub on them and he kinda laughed at me and said don't waste your time or money, they don't work. So I dunno.

| I've heard basically the same thing, that they can be lightened, but they don't go away . I have some just from gaining weight that I **wish** I could get rid of. |
