A Lot of Stretch Marks on My Belly!?

The ONLY thing that I have found that really works (and if it doesn't you have a 45 day money back guarantee) is Arbonne Firming Body Cream. You should use the Nourshing Body Wash with then follow with the cream, but if you need to save on money, I would try the cream alone. This is amazing!! You will not regret the investment!! Hope this helps :)

I'm allergic to most creams including those with cocoa butter. I use Pond's Cold Cream (blue lid) which is hypoallergenic and won't clog pores. It has helped dimish the look of the stretch marks significantly and prevented new ones so far in my second pregnancy. I didn't get strech marks the first time around (used the cold cream mixed in with pretroleum jelly) and this time it's twins, I'm huge now (same stage as with a 7 or 8-month singleton), not sure how big I'll get though.

Let me say that once I asked the same question and got at least one kinda mean answer! They told me I should be proud of my streach marks because its what happened when I was pregnant with my babies. Thing is I am young and want them gone my husband has actually started saving money so once I have my tubes tied I can get a tummy tuck! I don't really care what people think of them so this summer I am going out in my 2 piece and tanning at my pool! I heard tanning does wonders and so does applying extra lotion. I am not to concerned for now since I want more kids but I plan on trying to make myself look good for my husband! Don't ever let anyone get you down by saying you should enjoy your streach marks! I love my kids but I love my body! I would never trade my babies for the streach marks. Also its not genetic! I am the first in my family to get them and its bc I went from a size 5 to a size 11 in a month and I watched what I ate! I hope you find a answer that works! Good luck and I wanted to let you know never be discouraged from trying to get rid of them! =)

I consider my stretch marks to be badges of honor. My mom, on the other hand, hated hers and did a lot of tanning (both in the yard and in the salon) which seemed to help, but then she got pregnant again. (this was 12 years ago). I dont recommend her method, though, due to the possibility of skin cancer.

Try Coco butter or coconut butter oil or you can put coco butter iwth olive oil too. I use it everyday all over except the breasts but if your not breastfeeding go for it.

I believe a lot of it is genetics. I was scared about marks when i got pregnant and I lathered myself daily during preganacy with cocoa butter and vitamin e oil.

I don't have any marks but like I said, I think it is genetic. My mom, her sister, my grandmother never had marks.

Good luck

You can get laser done to reduce the stretch marks although I heard that it works best when they are still fresh and red/purply. But, you could still look into it and see. The same with a retinol cream - best used when the marks are fresh. It would definitely be cheaper than a tummy tuck. Although, I fear that is really the only way to make a significant change.
