I've been using lots of bio-oil morning and night and so far none! Just going back to palmers cocoa butter for a bit, cause I'm thinking I might be getting sensitive skin to the bio-oil! My mum didn't get any stretch marks till her last baby, but I know from puberty that I'm prone to them as my thighs and bum are criss-crossed to hell! We'll soon see...

The lotion may help a small bit, but it is really genetics. You can't prevent stretch marks, or make them disappear. I tried everything, and nothing has helped. I have "tiger stripes" all down my belly, and the only thing that will get rid of them is a tummy tuck. I didn't get any with my first (thinking it was the "stuff" I used) until 2 weeks before she was born. Now they just get bigger with each pg. Some people are just lucky to have skin that is more elastic than others.

I´m using cocoa butter and some Spanish anti stretch mark cream. If it works good, if it doesn't at least I've got moisturised skin!!! My mum had 3 kids and didn't have any stretch marks with any of us so I'm hoping it's inherited!!!!

totally agree.... I also think all moisturiers stretch mark creams all do the same thing!!! Its the massaging motion if anything will prevent the stretch marks!!
