I heard no general creams (cocoa butter, vitamin E, etc) can help remove stretch marks, but Strivectin HD is supposed to work very well - the downside - it is $135 but in clinical trials worked very well. I am trying it right now!

Oh I wish there was a cream that could remove the stretch marks but only time and maybe a tummy tuck will do the trick. Most stretch marks fade over time as your skin goes back to normal.
Cocoa butter only works if you start putting it on before you get the stretch marks. Stretch marks are from your skin being over stretch - no cream can make them disappear. Sorry Honey.

Vitamin E oil is pretty good, cocoa butter helps some also. However, they are there. These really should have been applied before the skin started stretching. Vitamin E is very oily and sticky. You can poke a hole in the end of a vitamin E capsule then rub it in but don't wear your good clothes when doing this.

They will fade over time but they will not completely go away. Mine are still very visible after 3 months. What I do is apply cocoa butter as soon as I get out of the shower; that seems to be helping speed up the fading process. The price we pay for having our wonderful babies! :0)

Time. They will fade over time. Or you could have laser surgery.
EDIT TO ADD: Cocoa butter does not make them go away. Some say it may help prevent stretch marks, but if you already have them, the creams do not make them disappear. I wish.

Cocoa butter. It works. All the guys who work out get stretch marks on their arms and they say it works better than anything else.

many times, confident. particular places and/or approaches might no longer be risk-free. you're able to desire to continually see a dermatologist for this, and tell all your scientific medical doctors which you're pregnant. The moles I had bumped off have been continually only a rapid shot of numbing agent & snip, bandage. It took approximately 30 seconds finished.

Cocoa butter is a life saver!
It works great and is failrly inexpensive. Wal-Mart sells big bottles of it. If you apply it daily they will eventually start to fade! Hope this helps.

nothing will remove them except laser surgery...trust me ive spent hundreds trying every cream,lotion and oil on the market....although i did have a friend that put cocoa butter on her continuously throughout pregnancy and it prevented stretch marks....but once they are there they are there for good unless you have the money to pay for the laser surgery!

So sorry to tell ya but they will never go away, but they do fade and get lighter in color though. Just think of them as a reminder of what you accomplished. I know that I will always wear my with pride.
