Vitamin E is more useful -

The first thing is that you should apply the vitamin E oil shortly after taking a shower. Do not wipe it off, just let it sink into the skin naturally and re-apply after your next shower.

To be effective, you should be applying the vitamin E oil daily. If you do not take a shower every day then, on the days that you don't shower, clean the surface with a clean wet cloth and re-apply like usual.

The second thing is if you find that the area feels a little sticky or it sticks to your clothes, cover the area with gauze (for bigger areas) using medical tape to secure it in place, or a band-aid (for smaller areas).

This remedy works for stretch marks, all sorts of scars (including acne scars and blemishes) and any skin irregularities that you wish would disappear.

For some people it does work. So does vitamin E oil. It depends upon how deep the stretch marks are. It won't hurt you to try the cocoa butter since it's available at almost any beaty aid store. Just remember to keep up with it and have patience. If you have further concerns, see a dermatologist and find out what options you have.

Some companies sell special stretch mark creams that have cocoa butter and seem to work somewhat.

if used faithfully i believe does work but only pure cocoa butter.some older drug stores still carry it in the pure form.my daughter used it after child birth and stretch marks got very light almost unnoticeable.i think it depends on age and the elasticity of each persons body skin.take care .chow 4 now.good luck.

I dont think anything will get rid of them totally but cocoa butter does help them if only a little.
