Revitol Stretch Mark Cream



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone here had ever tried the revitol before. I have seen on their website they are the best. BUT all websites say they are the best. Any first hand people out there can point me in the right direction. Thanks

Trixie,

Sounds like the revitol cream is pretty good I might get some and try it, I got bad stretch marks with my first daughter and once I lose the weight I would like them to not be so noticeable Thanks for the info.

Haha...so funny you posted this. I did research a little while back because I have stretch marks on my tummy from gaining weight the past couple of years. I found that Diva site that Trixie posted and I found one other "reviews" site that gave Revitol good marks, too. So I got some. I've only used it for about a week. I'll let y'all know how it goes.

I'm also doing a supplement/skin brushing/moisturizing regime. So I won't know for sure if it's all the Revitol or a combination. But I'll still let you guys know in about a month how it goes.

OK, so I'm at the 8-week mark of using the stuff. BUT...I did have several days in there when I didn't use it at all (kind of went off track on EVERYTHING). I had red stretch marks and they are almost completely faded to a light color. I think you'd have to be standing close to me in the right light to see them now.

I do want to add that I didn't ONLY use the Revitol as a means of repairing my skin. I also use a supplementation, skin brushing and moisturizing regimen to help my skin along as I lose the fat sitting under it. It's supposed to help my cellulite and spider veins, too. My spider veins are fading (I never thought I'd be able to say that!). I only had one noticeable spot of spider veins on the inside of my right knee...but it's fading already.

I'm hoping to end up with near normal looking skin by the end of all this. Maybe if I were faithful with this skin regimen I'd be further along by now...who knows.

Thanks for the update! Did you happen to take any before pictures?

I didn't specifically for this. I wish now that I had. But I can look around at pictures I do have that I took for like my scars or my full body shot I took in my undies and see if you can see the stretch marks. LOL Let me see what I can dig up...

Grrr. I don't know how much good these are going to do. Like I said, I don't have a really good before pic. The best I could find was my pic a couple days post-op of my incisions. You can kind of see the stretch marks to (MY) left of my belly button.

I just took this one. Not a great pic and I don't think it does justice. Crappy camera phone and in a badly-light office bathroom. LOL Probably can't tell much of a difference. My marks weren't TOO bad to begin with, but you would have been able to see them had my tummy been bared. Now I don't think they are as noticeable in person.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
