Stretch mark cream

Anyone have suggestions?

Does not exist. Everyone gets stretch marks, even skinny folks. Keeping your skin well moisturized may lessen the overall appearance, but if you are one of those people who gets them, please realize part of it is genetics.

I use Palmer's Cocoa Butter and Cocoa Oil because it smells good and feels good to generally care for my skin. It has Vitamin E. Staying hydrated is really important, too.

you mean the cream I just spent 90$ on does nothing. I am bummed... at least it smells nice.

Generally those creams do nothing more than hydrate your skin. stretch marks are part of life.

As others have said, there is no cream that can be effective in removing or preventing stretch marks. There is a laser treatment available I'm told. However, I haven't researched it.

Doesn't coconut oil help reduce stretch marks ..... The extra virgin coconut oil

No, again it helps moisturize your skin so the appearance of stretch marks is not as great, but it doesn't remove them. I use cold pressed virgin coconut oil for just about everything; skin, hair and cooking. It's very good for you, but it does not erase stretch marks.

You get stretch marks because the skin is stressed out so much from weight gain (or growth spurts) that the elasticity of the skin can't accommodate - they are technically damaged areas of skin that won't ever go away without surgery. All those expensive lotions have in the fine print that they will "reduce the appearance of stretch marks" so don't waste your money.

No cream or lotion can remove them, so just use some good moisturizing lotion that isn't too expensive to keep the skin hydrated as they fade out.
