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.

      Saw my PCP & officially started my 6 month supervised diet 07/26/24. She just told me to eat less carbs & sugar, use the air fryer and not fry my foods in grease, and to try to walk 30 minutes 3 days a week & if I can't do that (and I cannot), to walk 10 minutes daily. Told me to walk fast enough that my heart rate is raised.  She didn't give me a number as far as calories though. A year or so ago I was doing low carb/sugar free and keeping my calories at 1800 or below. She said I should up my cals to 2000 at that time, so that's what I'm shooting for now.
      Hubby walked with me today. He's in pretty bad shape so I was surprised he wanted to. We walked down the gravel road at a pretty good pace (for us LOL). 10 minutes walking and my heart rate was 115bps according to my Fitbit and 125bps according to his pulsometer. Either way, it was elevated and I was breathing hard. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a start. We'll do it again tomorrow. 😁
      I should be hearing from the surgeon soon. She said if I didn't, to call him next week. Since I HAVE to do the 6 month diet & that's going to put me into January by the time it's done, I'm hoping the surgeon will let me do all my testing in January. I don't want to do it all now and have my deductible get met, only to have to pay the deductible again in January or February for my surgery. Praying that things go the way I hope. 🙏

      Factors Affecting the Growth of the Alternative Sweeteners Industry:
      Health Consciousness: The increasing awareness among individuals about the health issues linked to high sugar consumption, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, is supporting the market growth. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and seeking products that can provide sweetness without the negative health effects associated with sugar. This shift in consumer preferences is leading to a greater demand for low-calorie and natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. These sweeteners offer the added benefit of having minimal impact on blood glucose levels, making them suitable for diabetic and health-conscious individuals.
      Technological Advancements: Innovations in the production and formulation of alternative sweeteners are impelling the market growth. Advancements in biotechnology and food science are leading to the development of high-intensity sweeteners with improved taste profiles and functional properties. Innovations in fermentation processes enhance the production efficiency and quality of natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit. These technological improvements are making alternative sweeteners more appealing to both manufacturers and consumers. Enhanced stability, solubility, and sweetness intensity allow these sweeteners to be used in a wide range of products, ranging from beverages to baked goods.
      Consumer Trends and Preferences: Evolving consumer trends and preferences are playing a significant role in driving the alternative sweeteners market. The growing demand for clean-label products, which are healthier and free from artificial ingredients, is offering a favorable market outlook. Consumers are increasingly seeking natural and plant-based sweeteners, aligning with broader trends toward plant-based diets and veganism. Besides this, there is an increase in the demand for low-calorie and sugar-free alternatives that support weight management and overall wellness. Food and beverage companies are responding to these trends by innovating and expanding their product lines to include options sweetened with alternative sweeteners, thereby catering to changing tastes and health concerns of modern consumers.

Various regulatory bodies are approving alternative sweeteners for use, ensuring their safety and efficacy. These approvals provide food and beverage manufacturers with the confidence to incorporate alternative sweeteners into their products.
