Stretch Marks!

Hi T., I have not tried it but I see that Avon has a new stretch mark cream. They usually stand by their products. The add claims to visibly fade stretch marks in 2 weeks. Give it a try. I have given birth to 5 and call them my medals of motherhood, along with my vericose veins. Grandma Mary

At any retail store, WalMart for instance. They sell Palmers Cocoa Butter. It comes in many different forms but I recommend the butter that comes in the tub. When you open the lid it will look like you are going to put on some Crisco, but believe me, it works. I used this the whole time I was pregnant and after and I do have some stretch marks, but they are really faded and cannot be seen by any.

I found a that any oil with vitamin E does the trick, I used it all through my pregnancy and for 3 months after and I have NO stretch marks and I gained 50 Lbs. Though I used the oil EVERY DAY sometimes three times a day!
The oil that I used also had, pecan oil, coconut oil and sesame oil in it.
You could probably also try Mederma for marks that already exist, they say that works well for the Existing ones

Call me crazy, but I found drinking a ton of water and keeping hydrated really worked for me. After the shower, I used cream and then just drank a ton of water. My Dr actually gave me this advice.
I am the mother of 2 children bron in the same year - so I was pregnant for a while.

Hi T., I have heard that Maderma is pretty good. Also, my doctor had told me that once you can excercising will tighten up the skin in the abdominal area and the stretch marks will be much less noticeable. Good Luck. God Bless Your family. Enjoy your beautiful baby boy.

Hi Tiny,
Since you are specifically asking for a source, you may wish to check out the Mommy Care on www.alphazelle.com . These are chemical free products and work on the collagen levels. There is baby care there too. You will learn a lot in the learning center link at the top. Taking pure MSM and a non-ascorbic vitamin c powder together, over time may diminish the stretch effects too. No claims made here... all I can say is try these ideas and see what happens. They are safe.

Any product with Vitamin E should help them fade, Cabot creaeam is a great one. Also mederma like someone else recommended should help (Neosporin makes a similar scar reducer which works great).

Avon just came out with a strecth mark smoother which should be good. Had great results. If you're interested you can check it out on my webpage at www.youravon.com/vpesce . Avon has great products!

Hi T.
I moved from LA and my dermatologist just came out with a skincare line. He is a top dermatologist to many stars. He has a stretch mark cream that is supposed to be amazing. You can check out the product line at http://moyskincare.com/ - Striae Stretch Marks. My friend gave me a sample but, I'm 7 1/2 months and don't have any stretching happening yet.
Thanks

hi T., i dont know of any creams that work, its hard to know because you dont know how it would have been without. i just wanted to tell you that at only 4 mos post, you have lots of time for them to fade and they most likey will. congrats and take care, D.

Not to sound like a sales call, but if nothing works, if you have heard of Styvecin SD that sells for $140/tube in the stores for stretch marks and wrinkles...the below product I have had in my line and has had remarkable results. Needs applied 2 -3 times a day and the results will vary. Works on old and new scars, c-sections, strechmarks, and wrinkles. They will fade and even completely go away.

Pentaxyl®, a powerful new cosmeceutical that helps reduce the signs of aging, features an advanced formula that penetrates into the fine layers of skin for maximum results.

Regular use of Pentaxyl will leave you with a clean, vibrant and more youthful look without injections or surgery. Visible results can be seen within a few weeks.

I have heard of Arbonne's Rejuvenating Cream working when stretch marks are fairly new. Unfortunately I had mine for much too long when I found the products but I do use other ones like for helping to tone my skin.

I could send you a sample if you like. ____@____.com http://APerfectMoment.MyArbonne.com
