You can use any lotion that contains cocoa butter and almond oil. I think body shop has a lotion with these components. Also Palmers made a special cream for stretch marks that result from pregnancy. You have to be patient though! they take a lot of time to vanish!

Nothing, aside from surgery, will get rid of stretch marks. Any creams you put on will not help because stretch marks are tears in the fibrous tissue between the epidermis. I would consult my dermatologist regarding it. Generally, stretch marks will fade on their own. At first stages, they can be pink or as bad as a bloody red. When they fade they will become either silver or yellow, and a lot smaller in size. Depending on how bad they are bothering you, you may want to consider surgery or leave them to heal. Losing weight ISN'T going to help. Unless you gradually lose weight, you'll just end up with another problem: sagging skin. It's important to tone your body around the stretch marks if that's the reason they're so noticeable. Also, they are not ALWAYS caused by weight gain or weight loss, even growth spurts can cause it especially if you don't have much elasticity in your skin.

Get rid of Stretch Marks?

Good diet and lots of exercise will greatly diminish them, but you'll never get rid of them 100%. I've had mine since my first child was born 15 years ago, and I am an avid exerciser. You can't really see them unless up close and personal...lol...but they do in fact stick with you forever.

You can't get rid of them unless you have some sort of plastic surgery. Try using Palmers coca butter it has worked well for me. Good luck.

surgery is the only way to completly get rid of them but you can reduce them by working out or using cocoa butter lotion

Get a Vitamin E lotion. Weight loss may help as well, if not, you might want to consult a plastic surgeon.

You can't get rid of them once you have them but there are creams and things to make them not so noticeable.
