Is there any stretch mark cream that actually works for post pregnancy stretch marks?
Retin-A (one of the things in many anti-aging creams) is very good for stretch marks. Nothing can make them disappear completely but it lightens them so much you can really only feel them and not see them. Retin-A is absorbed through the skin so it cannot be used while pregnant or nursing. And since it is most effective when the marks are at their worst, by the time you finish nursing, it may be too late to get great benefits from it.

Best stretch mark cream for pregnancy before and after?
Ive tried coco butter. right now for pregnancy but what is the best?
The most effective way to handle this problem is to follow a proper care routine that prevents their occurrence. You can either use olive oil, flaxseed oil, vitamin E oil or cod liver oil for the purpose of massage. Check out http://useinfo-stretchmarks.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.

Has anyone used Palmers coco stretch mark cream to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy?
When did you start using it and did it work.
I am only 16 weeks but belly appears to be growing quickly.
hey! Yeh i tried it for a while but its not that good. It might be good in the early stages of pregnancy that you are in but when you get around to the 26+ wks i would try some BIO OIL Get it from your local chemist. (I dont know where you are from but im from australia) Oils are much better than the creams otherwise do both. You can never have too much when it comes to maybe getting stretchmarks! I thought i was going to be lucky and get none at all but mine started coming out at 34wks... and you dont get rid of them either!

What is the best stretch mark cream to use during pregnancy?
Looking for the best cream or lotion that could help keep the stretch marks to a limit.
I had tried many. They said coconut. But none works. I still have my strecht marks. Best is not to gain too much weight. Ask your doctor what your ideal weight is. It should be just baby weight about 12-15 pounds. But ask your Dr.

Does anyone know of any good stretch mark cream to use for pregnancy.?
my mom has 3 kids and never got a single stretch mark. Im trying to continue that legacy.
Well I just had my 1st baby 4 & 1/2 months ago & my belly got HUGE!!!! But not a single stretch mark. I religiously used Pure Simplicity Stretch Mark Solution with 100% Cocoa from Bath & Body Works. A 5 oz tub goes for about $12. Use it when you wake up, after you shower, before you go to bed & any time in between. Its not at all greasy like some of the others I tried & it smells great!

Stretch marks are most common during puberty and pregnancy - times when the body undergoes rapid weight changes. But you may be wondering what exactly the cause of stretch marks is and how to reduce stretch marks appearance once they form. In general, stretch marks are formed in those body areas that store large amounts of fat, and they occur in the dermis, the skin layer which determines its shape.
Stretch Marks Defined
Stretch marks are caused by actual tears in a thinned or technically atrophic skin, with fine dermal collagen bundles arranged in straight lines parallel to the surface. This is your body's defense mechanism at work in an attempt to heal these tears. The fact is that stretch marks are really scar tissue created by the body to heal damage caused by expanding skin that is too thin.
Known by doctors as "striae" (usually "striae distensae" or, in the case of pregnancy , "striae gravidarum") stretch marks typically appear after rapid weight gain or loss. They are most common during pregnancy and the teen years, when growth spurts and increased levels of steroid hormones cause significant changes throughout the body. In fact, almost 90% of pregnant women get stretch marks.
Stretch marks are actually skin lesions and are surprisingly the most common type of lesion. Stretch marks, or Striae, are most commonly located on the breasts, hips, thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and flank. The good news is that stretch marks are totally normal and aren't a medical concern. The problem is that they can become an appearance issue and affect a person's self esteem.
Preventing Stretch Marks - Your First Line of Defense
A secret to prevent stretch marks from developing is to keep the skin moisturized during times of weight gain or loss. This will help reduce stretch marks and for those that do appear, fade faster. A process of exfoliation and massaging nutrient-rich natural oils such as wheatgerm, jojoba or vitamin E will help rid stretch marks from your susceptible areas.
