I was 54kg when i fell pregnant and didnt put on much weight until the seventh month then i went to 86kg by birth. Right from the day i found out i was pregnant i started putting the body butter stretch mark cream on and it didnt work my whole stomack is covered with stretch marks and i have lost 20kg since i gave birth 7 months ago and they have faded a little but not enough the skin is a little saggy but working out everyday is helping tone up my tummy. I have heard of a few solutions but have tried them and none work if anyone has actually had there stretchmarks fade or completely dissaper please let me know how. Thank you.

BELOW ARE SOME ANSWERS I GOT ON MY RESEARCH :::Palmer's Cocoa Butter for Stretch Marks
vitamin e oil and coco butter but they are still permanent.
It's gonna take time but use coca butter. It wont make them disappear completely but you will notice them fade a little. I have the same problem and I use coca butter and you can tell a difference.
I do know that there are tons of stretch mark creams out there at drug stores (not sure which ones work but some do) also, massaging lotions and rubbing fairly hard loosens the fat and will significantly reduce the marks I've been told. I didn't get any and I had 2 kids but that's due to hereditary tighter skin. I also used and continue to use vaseline intensing care (lotion)on my whole body everyday when i get out of the shower. Maybe that's the miracle. (Time is another factory-time heals all wounds). sorry for you but I guess there could be worst things.
Basically, they're scars. If they are currently not the same color as the rest of your skin, you can expect that to fade over time. Eventually they will blend with your natural skin tone, but that's the best you can expect... sorry.
Well, they say vitamin E, but honey you're gonna have to live with them. There is no treatment. After time they will fade, but that's as good as it gets. Sorry.

Sorry but stretch marks are scars that will fade...eventually..but never go away. The skin has been torn and there is NO cream that can repair that. That was an awful lot of weight you put on!!

Body Butters with high quality butters and oils. Check out these testimonials. One says that the body butter has made her daughter's eczema scar disappear and that she can swear that her own stretch marks are beginning to fade.
I personally have used body butter since I was pregnant too, and I have no stretch marks. My sister too.
You should check it out. Here's a link:

im 29 weeks pregnant at the mo so im really trying my hardest to prevent them coming but i use this stuff called Bio-Oil. you use through pregnancy to help prevent them and then you can use it after to help them fade if they did appear!!!! Apparently it does work really well. Its a bit pricey for a bottle but if its goin to help in any way its worth it right?!!!!xxxxxxxxx

I've had 2 children and with my first i gained 4 stone!! i had stretch marks all over my belly and i thought they would never go. i had my last child 15months ago and all my stretch marks are silver and you can hardly notice them. I've still got what i call a mother belly but that's the joy of having children.

you answered your own question on the second bit, the scars of chilbirth, a good suntan covers them a bit only be very carefull at first that part of your skin is very very thin, wait untill you have compleeted your family then have a tummy tuck this get's rid of a lot of them,,,,theres more things in life to worry about....

You just need to change your attitude toward them, because you are stuck with them. They will fade a bit with time. Just look upon them as the sacrifice made to have a healthy, happy baby.
