Vitamin E oil rubber in 3 times a day...it won't get rid of them but will make them less visible.

I am 38 weeks and starting in late December I had stretch marks creeping up my stomach. I have been using Palmer's cocoa butter and I have been seeing a real improvement. It can take awhile but it does help clear and reduce the marks. You can get it at Walgreen's, Target, or any other type of drug store. Oh and vitamin E and shea butter is good too. I hope this helped and congratulations on your precious baby!

I don't think they ever go away once you get them. I used Palmer's cocoa butter stretch mark cream the whole time I was pregnant and never got a stretch mark, you should start using it now. I also think is helps reduce stretch marks that you already may have

Nothing can make them go away, or prevent them. They have creams, like Palmers Cocoa Butter for Stretch Marks.. but I used it while I was pregnant, and I got stretch marks fairly badly.... I say save your money, that stuff is all crap that doesn't work!

We all have them. Try Stri-Vectin SD; it is the best. You can't use it until after you have your baby though. Cocoa butter and vitamin E don't work b/c the stretch mark is developed from the deeper layers of skin, not the top. They will never go away.

stretch marks may sometimes appear because of dehydrated skin that's why it's not as elastic as it should be.
so one solution is to moisturize it...Try using Palmer's Cocoa Butter lotion or the Cocoa Butter Tummy Lotion for Stretch Marks...
use any body butter or lotion that has Cocoa Butter & Vitamin E. both are very good for skin regeneration.
palmer's got lotsa products for scars and stretch marks...
i used palmer's for my scar it workd! im sure their stretchmarks line works too... :)

Bio oil is good, anything moisturising you can put on will help, but sadly nothing will make them go awaycompletely, they will fade to a silvery colour eventually, and be far less noticeable... Keep putting on the oil all over the bump and bum, fewer might appear?

I was creaming my body with cocoa butter lotion designed to prevent stretch marks but at 40 weeks loads appeared on my hips and after my baby was born on my stomach. I think creaming helps a bit but they fade with time...... mine are still red tho after 5 months...........

baby oil with vitimin E ......will help them fade and allow skin elasticity but you cannot avoid the beauty of the baby battle marks!! welcome to parent hood and congrats on the new baby!go ahead and get the baby oil because you can also use it on baby and put it in your shower (the oil not the baby) and when you shower before and after the baby is born you can rub it in the skin daily. it makes a huge improvement, also get liquid gel caps of the E vitimin and break them and rub it in the skin, major diffrence, i promise. be careful about putting anything on your belly while you are pregnant because you can get a reaction easily. it happened to me and it was awful.

I used extra virgin olive oil, I know it sounds wierd but I don't have any stretch marks nor does my daughter who is 7 months with child.
