Usually anything with cocoa butter in it. You can also ask a doctor any pharmacist and they can give other reccomendations. I'm sure there's stuff out there somewhere specifically for stretchmarks. Just make sure she starts doing something quick! Or else they might not go away very well!

I have a daughter so i know what those stretchmarks are all about, while i was pregnant, and after i had my daughter i have used Palmer's cocoa butter stretchmarks cream, and it is specifically for stretchmarks and contains vitamin e. Your friend might also want to try taking vitamin e pills.

Supposedly vitamin E will help. Find a lotion with that an an ingredient. If you look it up on the web, there are a lot of pages that will offer to sell you a lotion at a high price, but just go to your pharmacy and ask the druggist what would work best, and save your money for more important things. The listed URL is just one of many 'snake oil' treatments. Avoid them.

1- check the colour if them red= alive
white= dead
if they are red then they can be helped but unfortunatly white strech marks have lost their blood supply and are therefore difficult to get rid of.
2- get some bio-oil, about £8.95 from a local chemist and apply 3 times a day to the area.
It may take a while but they do fade and its the only stuff i know that works

nothing will get rid of stretchmarks
spend millions or spend nothing, and you'll end up with the same results
however, time will fade them
be sure she doesn't expose any of the stretchmarks to the sun or tanning bed, because instead of lettig them fade, that can actually make the darker
think of them as badges of motherhood

Cocoa Butter. Not, sure how well it works, I have stretch marks on my thighs. I've tried it before and it seemed to memize them. Haven't tried or used it in awhile. If it works let me know!! I was told mine were growing marks though. Don't have any kids at the moment so I don't know if it works, but congrats to the new mom and family. God Bless.

They will fade in about 1 year but will remain iridescent, use pure vitamin E to help fade them faster. But this is one of the things that unfortunately comes with pregnancy. Not even laser therapy is very effective.

Shea butter works. I had really bad stretch marks after i had my kid and i used shea butter and i also got this stuff from avon called REFINE and it really works. You can barely see the stretch marks. Stretch marks will never go away all the way, unless she gets surgery. But they will fade with time.

i have them too and especially right after having the kids they were really red or purple, now that my youngest is 4 they have faded to near my skin color
i have always heard it is better to prevent them with cocoa butter than to try and get rid of them
there has to be a solution that celebrities know about, none of them have stretch marks.... : ( grrr
