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

yes - they sell it at Babies R Us. I used it during pregnancy & I don't have any stretch marks on my belly or breasts. You can't use Retin A during pregnancy though.

i just wanted to bump this-- does anyone have any other suggestions??
Retin A. Yes, the stuff for pimples. Get it from your dermatologist & slasher on stretch marks. It definitely works.
cool ... how much of a difference did you see??
It works best on new stretch marks. If you put it on when they are new & red, they disappear & never turn white.
Its seriously strong. You may get itchy & dry on the spots where you use it. Retin A Also goes by the name Renova for wrinkles. Same stuff. It pretty much burns off the bad skin (wrinkles, sun spots, pimples, stretch marks, etc...) Insurance may or may not cover it. Its about $75 if it doesn't but it lasts a long time.
