Palmers had a coccoa butter soothing oil spray. It says its for pregnancy dry skin, but it has Vitamin E and Collagen and Elastin in it. Its what I use, and the upside is that it smells pretty good and it does help with the dry skin too of course which I am suffering from, but no stretch marks yet.

Moisturize all you want, stretch marks are GENETIC. If you really want to know, have a look at your mother's stomach. Mine had 4 girls, no stretch marks. None of my sisters have stretch marks after 1 child each.
I have 4 kids, no stretch marks. NONE. I didn't use lotions, cocoa butter, nothing. I have sensitive skin and never could find a lotion I liked before I was pregnant so I didn't even try.
I am 5'7" and weighed 112lbs when I got pregnant with my first child. I gained 72 lbs. No stretch marks. I gained around 30lbs with my 2nd and 3rd, then 57 lbs. with my 4th. No stretch marks.
I now weigh 130lbs. which is much better for my height than 112lbs.!

always be sure to keeop your belly well moisturized! try a cocoa butter or a cream that contains Vitamine E...
stretch marks are formed when the skin stretches either to fast or is not prepared correctly...you cant prevent all of them, but you CAN definately minimize the number and/severity of them

I used Palmer's Cocoa Butter & I don't have any noticeable stretch marks.

they have a lotion just for stretch marks but vitamin e oil and coco butter is the best, but you have to use it every day i used it and i don't have marks and had 2 kids.
