Girls I am so very excited! I know there is no perfect “cure” for these annoying marks but Ive had them for 11 years practically and I am so self conscious about them. Anyway, on Sunday I went to CVS to get cocoa butter just to give it a shot. I ended up buying for a little over 5 dollars …

Palmers’s Cocoa Butter Formula
Massage Cream for Stretch Marcks
With Vitamin E Collagen and Elastin
Concentrated Formula
Helps Prevent and Reduce Stretch Marks

Well I have been using it since then (1-2) times a day. I woke up this morning and checked out my hips (where I have the worst ones) and I seriously have noticed a huge difference. They are much lighter and less noticeable. To the point where I think others may not even notice them. I have ugly white and red ones and BOTH have gotten lighter and its only been 4 days. I had to share this news because I am seriously freaking out right now – I am so happy because I never thought these stubborn things could get any better. They have – IM SO HAPPY!!!!

FM me with any questions. If you try it let me know if it works because if so I will start telling everyone and there mother lol

I've been using Palmer’s Cocoa Butter for a really long time (on and off) and i must say i dont have any stretch marks.

I use it for all over my body right after shower.

Also - I've been pretty consistent with my weight, so not sure if i gain weight i'll start to get stretch marks.

You know I have seen it in the stores but since so many ppl say there is no cure for it I never bought it. Since I do have some I will give it a try!!

Thanks!

I always heard that once they were white there is nothing you can do but I'm willing to give this a try!

They say you are supposed to rub coco butter on your belly every day while you are pregnant to avoid getting really bad stretch marks.

I would be so happy to not have stretch marks on my HM!! Usually I have to build up a tan before they go away

Retin A. Yes, the stuff for pimples. Get it from your dermatologist & slasher on stretch marks. It definitely works.
