Coco butter will work better on small stretch marks but if you have large ones they won't go away as I found out lol. You can also discuss it with your doctor he may be able to prescribe you a cream that is more effective then the coco butter.

There are various methods that claim to remove them, including laser treatments, dermabrasion, and topical applications (e.g. cocoa butter)[1], but none guarantees it.

There is no assured method of preventing stretch marks, although many believe that using oils or creams in high-risk areas may help prevent them by giving the skin more flexibility. Many over the counter products are sold for such use.

There are also many products sold that claim to fade stretch marks after-the-fact. These seem to be best when used on recent stretch marks and may only be fading stretch marks to the degree they would fade naturally, although perhaps at a faster rate. Laser surgery has been proposed as another treatment to surgery, but is an unlikely method because lasers are generally used in applications where they break down or remove skin, not repair it. The only sure method for removing stretch marks is a tummy tuck, which removes much of the skin under the belly button where stretch marks frequently occur.

Stretch marks can be completely erased using laser treatment, but I favour just learning how to live with your body after having children. It's a lot easier once they fade, but acceptance saves a lot of energy wasted on negative energy and poor self-esteem.

Besides, as a mother do you really have the time and energy to worry about stretch marks while doing everything else? I haven't always felt this way. I've written a lot of articles (links below) about stretch marks that aren't accepting, but I am over it now.

You kinda need to prevent stretch marks before they happen. There is no way to completely rid yourself of them once they have occurred but they will fade after some time.

Unfortunately there is no way of preventing them or getting rid of them.
You can spend a fortune on this cream and that cream trying to rub them away, but they are unlikely to help.
Time is a wonderful healer and after a couple of years they will fade to a gentle silvery colour.
