nothing will REMOVE them, but Cocoa Butter puts elasticity in your skin which helps quite a bit. It moisturizes the skin and makes is supple and healthy which diminishes the appearance of stretch marks.

There is nothing over the counter that you can get to reduce stretch marks. They are scar tissues and you need to wait for the skin to regenerate itself (which takes about 7 years). That being said, you can get medication from the doctor to help to regenerate your skin faster. There are also chemical peels that will reduce the appearance as will microdermabration.

Go for the actual scare removing cream that you can get from your local drug store.Stretch marks are scars,so these different creams should help greatly,when applied daily.My good friend underwent a tracheotomy and it left a gnarly scar on his throat.A few years later,after using these scar creams,you can barely see it.The stuff truly does work wonders on the skin...tom science

Yes coca butter worked on mine and it worked on the burn on my face when my sister accidentally dropped the iron on my face when i was sleep. I put coca butter on every day and it healed my face and left no scars or anything on my face.

Time and they do lighten up to a silvery color. I also like vitamin E you can buy it at the pharmacy get as many iu's as possible I use about 36,000 iu or vitamin e oil, it is great for all scars. Good luck.
