ok this is gonna sound weird i know but i have to ask anyways but there are women who use preporation h on their faces to keep wrinkles at bay and to keep the youthful looking tight skin i have worked with a few that did but anyways if they can use it on their face to combat wrinkles then does that mean i can use it on my belly and legs for the streatch marks i incured during my pregnancies? i have used scar zone and coco butter and palmers and medermia and i dont know what else to use

What can I do next?

Hi T.,

Boy, do I have the thing for you! It is absolutely amazing and I am not exaggerating one bit. I use it myself and can show you testimonials from people up to 70 years old. The best thing is that it costs you about the same as two spa visits and it does much more. In a spa you would have to get a treatment for each problem. Not with this; it is great! Please give me a call at 877-736-7630 or ###-###-#### or email me at ____@____.com.

Blessings,
W.

Hi T.,

Prep H is a temporary short term remedy to puffiness. Some people put it under their eyes. It is not necessarily going to do anything for wrinkles or stretch marks.
There are some new laser treatments that you can talk with your dermo about if they bother you. My best advice to you is to keep that area out of the sun. If you are planning to be in the sun wear a high spf sunscreen. This is the best way to lessen the appearnence of stretch marks. This will not get rid of them but the lighter the skin around the stretch marks the less they will stand out.
Trying the prep h will not hurt but if it worked believe me you would know about it.

Try vitamin E oil. It works great. You can buy it at Walmart or any drug store. It really will reduce your stretch marks.

I can't say that I see any harm in trying it. I, however, wouldn't count on it working. The way hemoroid medications work is that they basically shrink the blood vessels that are just under the skin. That's the only way that I can even see it working for wrinkles, it shrinks the vessels and pulls the skin tighter in the process, as far as I know, it doesn't actually do anything to the skin cells themselves. The only thing I would worry about is that using it regularly on any part of your body would be problems getting blood to circulate properly to the skin in that area since the blood vessels are smaller and blood won't be able to get through as effectively. Stretch marks are more a result of the composition of your skin, and don't really have a lot to do with the blood vessels. I would definitely ask your doctor about any possible bad side effects. I

I am also using scar zone and cocoa butter for my post-pregnancy stretch marks. (Trying to do something about them before swimsuit season!) I havent seen any results with either, and I've been using both religiously for about 2 months now. I have heard that Strivectin SD is great for stretch marks, but I havent tried any yet. Im planning on getting it when I run out of the scar zone stuff. Good luck. And if you find anything that DOES work, I'd love to know!!

We have this show on our cable network called "The Shopping Bags". They try out all sorts of different creams, foods, electronics... pretty much anything you can buy! They tried out the old wives tale that Prep H can work on wrinkles and found that it doesn't work as well as the wrinkle reducer products do. They also talked to a dermatologist that said it doesn't work that way! So, you might want to try something else. Sorry!

Like others said, Prep H is a temporary solution at best on your eyes and probably won't help the stretch marks. I know Mederma worked for me on another very bad scar, but I had to use it a LONG time to get the results I did- like 6 months. But it did help signifigantly. I was also using one of the skin lightening creams used for age spots and evening out darker complexions. I can't remember which one it was, but I believe it's the topical vitamin K component that works in those. It helped, too. Good luck!

Well, yeah that is kinda weird, lol, but I say why not? It makes sense if it works on wrinkles, why not stretch marks? It wouldn't hurt anything. I say go for it. Let me know if it works!
