I know that exercise is the only sure way to tighten skin, but does anyone know of any creams that are good with removing/hiding stretch marks or tightening skin so there isn't so much sag?

I'm starting to look for something, but I want to make sure it works.

Honestly, not much. I know coco butter can really help stretch marks a lot. I use Roc Retinol for fine lines and wrinkles on my face it and has helped considerably. But sagging skin is different. If you only have a little, you might find one that helps, but if you have a lot nothing will help.

Sagging skin is greatly dependent on how long you've been overweight and how much, how much you lose, your age, skin elasticity, and genetics. Some people get really lucky with none while others have a ton of it.

Good luck!

I'm a slow loser! I think that made a big difference in excess skin. That's just my opinion. I also exercise and drink a lot of water! I think if you quickly take out a bunch of fat and don't replace it with some muscle your guaranteed loose skin! That's just been my experience.

Use vitiman e oil, every night. It's cheap and you can get it at any drug store.

That's what I was told.. People mistake creams that help fade them as much as possible with making them disappear

You get stretch marks when your skin shrinks also, so if you have fast weight loss you can create new ones. Vitamin e oil can really hydrate your skin and penetrate deep, it will lessen the lightlyhood of getting them. I used it religiously when I was pregnant and didn't get one stretch mark.
