Cocoa Butter is the best. Try getting pure coca butter...its almost like a vaseline based ointment...not the lotion with cocoa butter in it. I use it and it works like magic. Put it on twice a day...before you go to bed and in about a week in a half you will notice some improvements. It doesnt take them completely away, but it reduces the appearance.

stretch marks are essentially scars in the skin, they do not go away, even surgery only creates new scars. With time the stretch marks will fade, using a good moisturizer like cocoa butter or Vitamin E oil will soften the skin and prevent new stretch marks and even lessen the appearance of the current stretch marks, but nothing makes them go away.

To prevent stretch marks effectively use cocoa butter or a mixture of olive oil and herbs. You can find more cheap and natural remedies for stretch marks at http://arzi.org/

Strech Marks are scars on your skin. They are pretty permanent but it doesn't mean you can't hide or disguise them. Since the "stretch" is a lighter color skin you can begin to tan or fake tan to help hide the marks. If you lose a certain amount of weight your skin will shrink a little and the marks will be less noticable.
I hope this helps. Best of luck.

Besides walking at least two miles every day in addition to any other walking you do in a normal day, wash afflicted area and after drying smear the gel from an aloe vera plant on the areas you want to smooth out. Aloe Vera is used by hospitals the world over on burn patients to alleviate pain and help heal scarring caused by burns. It is a lifelong habit and it works not just for healing scarring or stretch marks but for keeping your skin tight and oil free for a longer lasting beauty for years.

There is nothing that will take off stretch marks. First you lose weight and tone your body up. If they are still there, only a plastic/cosmetic surgeon can remove them.
Stretch marks are from skin that has been stretched tightly too fast--like pregnancy. It won't disappear completely.

They fade as time goes by on their own for the most part but cocoa butter does help. Although they will never truly go away without sugery i have been told.

Nothing, they are there for eternity unless you get plastic surgery. But, put vitamin E or cocoa butter on them and they will become less noticeable over time.

Massage with cocoa butter once or twice daily.
