You can't make stretch marks go away. You can make them fade by using cocoa butter and vitamin E but that's about it.

Is there anything I can do to get rid of them later?
If your stretch marks still bother you after your pregnancy, talk to a dermatologist about ways to minimize them. Some studies have shown that topical ointments, such as tretinoin cream (Retin-A) may help with stretch marks when applied after your baby is born. However, to have much of an effect at all, these creams must be applied relatively soon after you give birth, while the streaks are still the same color they were during pregnancy. (Note: Retin-A is not safe to use during pregnancy and there's no reliable information on the amount excreted in breast milk or its effect on a nursing infant, so it's best avoided while breastfeeding.) And although Retin-A can improve the appearance of stretch marks, it doesn't do much to change the quality of the connective tissue itself, so it won't change the texture of the marks or any sagging of the skin around them.
There's some evidence that laser treatments can help restore the skin's elasticity and also change the pigmentation so the stretch marks better "match" the rest of your skin. Unfortunately, this kind of procedure, which is done for purely cosmetic reasons, isn't covered by insurance.
Most of them are not curable by a cream. You have to have them laser removed.

I would say that there is no cream to remove them. You can help them fade away with palmers stretch mark cream (for pregnancy) it claims to reduce and prevent them. I already use it at almost 5 months, and no stretch marks yet.

Sorry to tell you this, but there is no miracle cream for stretch marks. Time will fade them.
