Anything cocoa butter by Palmer's. Try Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Firming Lotion or Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Tummy Butter or Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Cream for Stretch Marks. Here's the link to their site so you can read about all their products... http://www.etbrowne.com/products/Category.aspx?CategoryID=2. I've used the Firming Lotion and love it.
Although, like others have stated... it won't stop you from getting stretch marks. They're right... it's all about genetics (unfortunately).

Sorry to say this, but there is no creams or lotions or medications that will make the stretch marks go away or prevent it. It's in the "genes" so to speak. You can put a lot of lotion on your belly if you're pregnant, and this may make the itchiness less.

You can use any brand of lotion as long as it has aloe vera and vitamin e in it. I also use a bath wash that has aloe vera and vitamin e in it as well. The cheap stuff works just as good as the expensive stuff. I usually shop the dollar store or wal-mart and by the sauve brand. Between the lotion and body wash I haven't gotten a stretch mark yet. I am currently 37 weeks pregnant.

I used cocoa butter lotion but it didn't prevent me from getting stretch marks on my belly. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do to prevent getting them.

whether or not you get stretch marks is genetic, if your skin is naturally elastic there's less chance to get them. topical lotions & whatnot don't work because it's the underlying connective tissue that seperates to cause the marks. lotions help with the itchiness tho

nothing you can really do about them,
cocoa butter lotion does help reduce the appearance of them and help with the itching. it's totally genetic whether you get them or not, nothing you can do to prevent it.

The best is shea butter and or vitamin e anything. If you go to a maternity store they often have products there.

Anything with Vitamin E is recommended.
