Fading stretchmarks anyone?

Samemka · Jan 31st, 2010, 19:01 PM

I'm not gonna bother googling because I know it'll just be pages of 'magic creams' so I thought I'd ask here instead

Stretch marks...mine are still purple & quite thick and both sides of my waist. Is there anything that will make them fade?

Thanks

I got one called stretch away by skin doctors and o think it's been great, I found it better than bio oil x

I am with you on this one hun. Except mine are on my belly, back, waist, boobs, and the list goes on.

I have been told Bio Oil but have never went out and gotten any. I'll have to look into Stretch Away!

Bio oil is very good

Ooooh, this will be interesting to see what others come up with. I can't use Bio Oil as it brings me out in a bumpy rash (I have stupidly sensitive skin), so if there are any mummies out there who use something else then I am all ears!

Bio Oil for definite. Mine are only visible if you look really closely now, whereas they were really dark before. They're so faded that they wouldn't stop me wearing a bikini (but the size my belly does, lol)

I used bio oil when I was pregnant and after, but I still have major stretch marks

I've found just normal body moisturiser helps and they seem to be fading abit now.
Hope that helps x

Bio Oil. I didn't buy it at first because it was so expensive. But it lasts a long time and it really does work!

I'll get some bio oil or stretch away then - I used bio oil when I was pregnant but stupidly never put it at my 'sides' (don't know how I thought my belly was going to get bigger without the sides 'stretching' LOL).....& have none on my belly, just the sides!! Typical! x

I used Bio Oil all through my pregnancy twice a day and I have severe stretch marks so I am not planning on wasting more money buying more bottles of the stuff to fade them. It clearly doesn't work for me.
