There isn't a way to get rid of them (grumble grumble) but they can be reduced. Stretchmarks are called striae...it's a like a special skin scab/scar. Either way one of the best things to use is olive oil. Sounds silly but it's true. It works as a great and cheap moisturizer and the antioxidants help heal the skin. Also, if your still pregnant or a breast feeder you'll appreciate using something without questionable chemicals. Don't believe the stretch mark cream hype...they'll just take your $$. Good luck!

cocoa butter is really good for getting any stretch marks. There is also Palmers Body butter for stretch marks. It's about $5 for a small tub of it. But i tried it just to get rid of some marks on my sides...works pretty good with regular application

Well i have heard that a vitamin e oil you can buy at any drugstore reduces strech marks and they even have creams at like walgreens or rite aid for this thing and fairly cheap. Vitamin b helps also.

Try Cocoa Butter, also I always see ads for creams, I don't know if they work, but I guess you can always ask for a refund if is doesn't http://www.stretch-mark.net
