This sounds stupid, but you can try utter balm. It's what they put on animals like cows. Sounds stupid, but I heard its the best thing to use for stretch marks.

Answer 2

Definitely cocoa butter, and apply it every day, whether you think you need it or not. It will help keep your skin moisturized and allow it to stretch more easily. Palmer's Cocoa Butter lotion is great stuff - if you don't find it with the regular lotions, look in the "ethnic" section, as it's often located there.

Use cocoa butter religiously - morning, noon, and night. Nothing can "prevent" stretch marks, but this sure can help the appearance of them.
