Stretch Marks

[yuna0z]

Does anyone know a product that can dramatically reduce the appearence of stretch marks or get rid of them?

I have heard that Strivectin helps fade them.
You can read a bit about it here:

If you "google" you will find tons more info.

Good Luck,

Also do a search on this board. Recommended by me and others are Stri-vectin and Renaissance cream (which has MSM) in it. Renaissance was cheaper and worked better for me.

If you're dowsing, check which one would be best.

Hey Yuna0z,
pure vitamin E (made by Jamison, in liquid, not capsule form) can be found in any drug store next to other stretch mark/scar removal products. I had a surgery a couple years ago to have a cyst removed from my falopian tube and it left a BIG PURPLE scar running from hipbone to hipbone! After several monthes of using the vitamin E the scar is no longer raised and far less dark.

Depending on what your stretch marks look like thismay or may not be feasible for you. I say itmay not because if your stretch marks are old and already faded to white and/or are no longer raised then this vit. E may have little effect.

the next step would be to have your doctor prescribe Retin A or Renova cream. Vitamin A cream is one of the few truely helpful cosmetic miracles, 2nd only to sunscreen because of its ability to actually reshape the cell. My sister was recently prescribed it after her doctor insisted she try it before having her massive post car accident scars surgically removed, because she swore it would make them go away, I am now using it for scars as well as acne, and I can tell you in 2 monthes it has dramatically improved both. Only catch: it cost 30$ (CND) per tube, and if you live in the states thats not including cost of doctors visits. especially problematic if you are using it over a large area, which in the case of stretch marks u probably are.



sorry for the unnesecarily long post , for more info i STRONGLY suggest reading the beauty bible (mind the cheesy title) for more info, which I found in my library or visiting the authors site cosmeticscop.com which also has some summary's.

Hope this is of some help.


Love Pepe.

Or - ahem - you can reference the new Real Beauty ebook, which goes into depth on the causes and treatments for stretchmarks.
