I agree with the previous posters but I can add that they will be less visible if you have a tan although that also damages your skin so it seems you just can't win. Bio oil is supposed to be quite good though....

There are several treatment options for stretch marks. If you are serious about dealing with unwanted stretch marks, it's best to be in the care of a surgeon or dermatologist who can recommend your best options. He or she will take a detailed medical history, including medications you are taking. Some medications can cause stretch marks, and it is very important to be open and honest with your doctor. Those medications include hormones and steroids.
& There are Surgical Methods Such as Dermobrasion & Chemical Peel ! There Are Also Over-the-Counter Treatment Lotions & Creams.

Stretch marks are caused by tearing of connective tissue underneath your skin. Unfortunately, skin will not bounce back in its pure state if it's been stretched by rapid growth due to pregnancy, weight gain, or extreme weight loss. Instead, it becomes decorated by a form of scarring called stretch marks, or striae. Stretch marks often start off as reddish or purplish in color, then become glossy skin that appears streaked in silver or white.
Stretch marks occur in the dermis, the elastic middle layer of skin that allows it to retain its shape. However, when constantly stretched, the dermis can break down leaving behind stretch marks.
Methods of removal includes microdermabrasion, chemical peel, striae lotion and cream.
But for suggestion purposes, proper diet with plenty of fluid will reduce chances of developing new striaes

You can not get rid of stretchmarks. They eventually fade with time but they will always be there.

You can't. But as has been suggested already, a tan will make them less noticeable. If you don't like laying in the sun, try one of the many fake tans on the market.

I have some too...you cannot rid of them (Yeah it's a RIGHT b*****) but Bio-oil is definitely good to reduce them (Superdrug/Boots/chemist/supermarket) or if u cant afford (Its around £8) baby oil will keep your skin supple.

Sorry, you can't. The more you tone your tummy however, the less apparent they are.
You cannot get rid of them----no creams, nothing short of plastic surgery/tuck.

You can't ! They will fade in time. If they're result of pregnancy..be proud of them...they helped your body cope with carrying your lovely baby!!
