Anyone knows or is using a good stretch mark cream that can recommend to me? Thanks ya

If you can stand the smell of cocoa butter, Palmer's actually works pretty well (considering the price is pretty cheap too).

I've tried another one which is really good but you can hardly get it in Malaysia - Erbaorganics Mom-to-Be Stretch Mark Cream. I got it from my sis in US, and now I carry this product in my baby web store, selling at RM53.90 per tube (125g).

The key not to have stretch marks is that, whenever you feel itchy, don't scratch it! besides applying lotion or cream or oil. You can put on some powder too when the itch is going too much

Does Palmer works good and easily found at common pharmacy store?

after giving birth in dec'12, i have stretch marks on my tight and lower belly, I can't wear swimming suit again

will these stretch marks fade away?

what I understand is ... stretchmarks are genetic. If your mum or family members have it... u will prob have it to. It's about the elasticity of your skin you were born with. Some people NEVER need to put anything and has no problems at all.

U can put strechmark creams religiously everyday since the day you found out you are pregnant and still get stretch marks. Or you can forget about it at all and never get anything.

But the stretchmark cream MAY assist to lighten or reduce the visibility of it.

Most stretchmark creams or Creams are supposed to work BEFORE your skin is actually stretched. Just like how you would want to moisten your dry lips before you open wide.. or it will crack if it's dry. So you will need to prep your skin around your belly, underbelly, back, thighs etc for the stretching that it will face in the months to come. If you're only doing it when you're itchy.. then it may be a bit too late.

One of the ways to reduce stretchmarks is.. to gain weight slowly. If possible, avoid sudden excess weight gain which would require your skin to suddenly stretch suddenly. Aim for gradual weight gain to help your skin get accustomed to being stretched gently.

Alot of people have recommended Olive oil, coconut oil, bio-oil, palmers, Bud's, etc.

My wife is using everything and anything. including normal creams every morning and night. Have no idea if it'll work. Good also, hopefully she'll finally finish all the creams that she has bought over the years.

Be careful with oils as they may stain your shirts and require special cleaning.

I think stretchmarks will fade after a while. from purple to whiteish skin colour.

Do you ask your wife if it actually works?

Not yet give birth.. So far no marks yet. But sometimes can only see AFTER give birth.

i used bio oil......no stretch marks after birth, but it might be due to genetics and not the oil....my sis however has the marks so i m unsure...

Okay, here's my personal experience. The first time I was pregnant, I used Palmer's and Bio-Oil. Palmer's however not religiously, i got stretch marks, still.

The 2nd time I was pregnant, I used Erbaorganics, no stretch marks at all! So I believe Erbaorganics really worked for me.

I used Loccitane Almond Oil during my pregnancy. After gave birth i only have little stretch mark on my belly. I found it s useful n moisture my skin. I never find itchy feeling. Between im a mid size person with some fat.

how much for Erbaorganics? guardian got ?

You just gave birth?

Price comparison between Erbaorganics and Palmer?

cosmetic roller works so well on any scars

i've tried so many anti - stretch marks products during my pregnancy.

First i used bio oil - reduce the marks but makes me feel more itchy

Vaselin + baby oil - less itchy but marks became worse.

VCO from Tanamera - less marks but still itchy

palmers cocoa butter - smells good, reduce marks but makes my skin more itchy.

I now using Pureen anti stretch marks... it works like a charm.. my strecth marks has lessen and the best part is NO ITCHINESS!!!!

I used Loccitaine, Bio oil and 'forgot what name' oil.
and starts from last week, I start to have stretch marks.
I have been applying the oils since Week 9 til now, morning til night.
Hopefully it will fade after baby born.


Pureen? okay! I go buy later!

My wife give birth October 2012. Operation.

I help her to apply mixture of Propolis creme + Aloe First + Aloe Vera Gelly a month earlier and after, now she don't got even one stretch mark, except a tiny scar for the operation.

any other natural way to remove stretch ?

Stretch mark is what we call striae gravidarum, occurs as part of physiological change of the body to pregnancy. In regards to whether genetic plays a role, it's kinda hard to say. But studies found that when mother has stretch marks during her pregnancy, then her daughter might have it during her pregnancy. Ultimately, stretch mark is due to mechanical stretching which results in the rupture of the fibres in the dermis. It could also be due to increased hormone glucocorticoid in the body.

As to how to reduce it, trofolastin cream applied daily plays a significant role.

does it work for fatty marks left for a fat person before?

not sure about that.
