Anyone knows a good brand to remove stretch marks on the body and scars?

Question

I recently lost weight but the stretch marks on my body looks hideous. Especially the tummy line and thighs and arms. Got any brand that works wonders? The skin on my legs are thinning and it has ecsema scars. The thinning is caused by the strong cream prescribed by the doctors and it has a bit of steroids in it. I stopped using it but now i need something to make it soft and supple again. And not dry and peeling. Help!

Answer 1

There's a product called "bio oil" that you can get- it's excellent at reducing the appearace of scars and stretch marks. It reduced my scars dramatically so that you could barely see them... it also helps them heal as it contains things that are really good for the skin.
I think you can get it from boots or supedrug.

Answer 2

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but once you have stretch marks they are there forever. However, time is a great healer -as they say- and your stretch marks will fade. They usually turn into silvery lines that you can hide with foundation type products. I feel for you as I have them too but I have also tried to get them "gone" but nothing works apart from time.
You could try E45 cream to get your skin softer and moisturised. I use Vaseline moisturising lotion after each shower and that helps to keep your skin smooth and supple. Good luck, I hope I haven't been too abrupt and scary. xxx

Answer 3

Bio Oil for stretch marks and Decleor Prologene gel for scars.

Answer 4

I would have to recommend Bio-oil. I used it when I was pregnant with my twins and I was HUGE! You can barely see my stretch marks now. They were pink after I had the twins and a friend of mine hers were dark purple! I also used it on quite a nasty burn on my arm (off the iron) and I just have a faint mark no raised scar. Its recommended for stretchmarks and scars. I always have a bottle in the house just in case I need it.

Hi

Well, I have tried Bio-Oil on my stretchmarks and well it didn't work. I have olive skin and while the bio oil will help with the texture of the skin, i have found that self-tanning lotion can help "hide" the pale white of the stretchmarks. Thats if they are lighter.

There is another option. Its called microdermabrasion for stretchmarks. Its removes the top layer of dead cells. However, I doubt that it will actually work, as stretchmarks go much deeper than just the top layer.

As for an immediate result, self-tanning lotion is my answer, and before you know it, your skin will have renewed itself, and stretch marks will have dissappeared.

Nothing can really help otherwise. Unfortunately, its just one of those things.

Goodluck

Answer 6

Bio Oil

Answer 7

There is a product called BIO-OIL that helps reduce and fade stretch marks and scars.
You can get this at most chemists and places like Boots.
It's not too expensive either.

Answer 8

I swear by Bio Oil i had my son 6 months ago and have been using it ever since! Its priced at £9 small bottle and £13 big bottle, get the big one as it last much longer.
