I have like these stretch marks from losing so much weight..what's the best remedy to use besides laser?

Question

I've been using cocoa butter for months and I see no results. I know they won't disappear, but I want them to be less noticable..

Answer 1

Have you tried a scar-treatment gel (like for people who have had surgical scars, etc)? Mederma is one brand that I can think of right offhand--and there are generic versions that are a bit cheaper. It works like cocoa butter, but better (because it has other agents and ingrediants for the skin).

Answer 2

Coco butter or Shea Butter women use it also for when the stretch marks are being made such as in pregnancy. Make sure you use it on a regular basis. It will help to retain elasticity in your skin and help to shrink them but nothing will make them go away completly. Good Luck :)

Answer 3

nothing is really going to noticeably/dramatically reduce the apperance over the counter. Don't waste your money on those exspensive creams that claim to work - none will work those are all usually only effective use during a pregnancy or weight gain to reduce the stretch marks that will appear later on.

Answer 4

Pure shea butter (not lotion with shea butter but actual shea butter form health food stores) or vitamin E

Answer 5

Yup, Vitamin E, or that creme to reduce scars
