Hey Tee!
There are no proven cures or remedies for stretch marks, but many products exist on the market that have shown excellent results. Most of the products are creams that when applied to the skin helps to rejuvenate it and return the elasticity in order to repair the damaged area. The products to look for are those that contain Emu Oil, Oleic Acid, Cocoa Butter, Wheat Germ Oil, Vitamin E and Lanolin. All of these products in different combinations permeate deep into the skin and help to return the skin to normal, but also help the skin to become stronger and prevent further stretching. Also, some dermatologists utilize Retin-A Micro to diminish stretch marks.
~Thanks for the question!~

I got stretchmarks in the same place when I was about your age. It's horrible, but there is little you can do. I never understood why I got them because I've never been overweight, but then I learned that many young women get them just from growing very fast.
You can use cocoa butter or over the counter creams like Mederma. Although I tried using that stuff with little success. They will fade with time, but really, it's just another woman's curse that all of us deal with at some point. You can have stretch marks and still be beautiful, it's not like you're deformed now.

Combine Retinol cream with pure vitamin E oil and massage into skin twice a day. You can also increase potency by adding vitamin C powder to this mixture but I suggest that you only add vitamin C powder to the amount of cream you use each time. Adding vitamin C powder to the whole jar will ruin it in the longterm. Vitamin C powder will quickly be destroyed by exposure to heat and light and will cause the whole jar to go all orangy/yellowy.
All these can be found at any Holland and Barrett store. The total cost would come to about 16GBP (Vitamin E oil about 6 quid, Retinol cream about 3 quid and Vitamin C powder is about 7 quid)
Note: Vitamin C powder is coarse and will also act as an exfoliator when you massage the mixture onto your skin.
With 2 applications per day, you should notice some improvement after 2 weeks. It worked for me.
The jar will last at least a month. Not bad for just 26 quid.
Good luck.

Have you tried using a product called Bio Oil? You can get it from places like Boots (the larger stores). It is a non greasy oil that is packed with vitamins that over a period of time gets rid of any skin imperfection including stretch marks. It seems quite expensive for the size of the bottle (around £8) but trust me you dont need to use alot. I have some and use it on my face every now and then, it acts as a great moisturiser. I hope this helps you. Remember there is no quick fix remedy it all takes time so be patient. Good luck!!!

Forget the cocoa butter. If the stretch marks are already present, let's work to get rid of them instead of preventing what's already there.
Get Avon Anew Clinical Lift and Tuck Professional body perfector to get a tighter looking tummy & lifted looking buttocks in just 4 weeks. Massage on in the am and pm.
Also, Avon Super Shape Anti-Cellulite & Stretch Mark Cream. It's a dual action formula designed to improve the appearance of old and new stretch marks!
Hope this helps!!

Whatever option you choose to help with the marks (Ive always heard the cocoa butter) just be sure to keep the areas most susceptible to stretch marks moistened as often as possible.

I truthfully have tried each little thing to steer away from/do away with/lighten my stretch marks from having my infant, i did no longer start to get the till i became into 9 months. I used something you are able to think of of to steer away from, and then to do away with them and ater spending over 3 hundred money on finding a soloution, i found out that no longer something works and just to adhere with coco butter popular, you the two get them or you do no longer and once you do, you nevertheless can not do away with them w/o a sergery or exspensive chemical peel. So from my exspeirience do no longer waste some time or your money. The bio oil did no longer paintings for me, over the path of a 300 and sixty 5 days of attempting each little thing, my stretch marks are nevertheless right here, somewhat lighter (no longer purple, yet silver).

Stretchmarks dont actually disappear no matter what you put on them. They will fade to a silvery line eventually. Yours are probably from a growth spurt so you've got a few more to come probably. Keep using moisturiser as much as possible as this keeps the skin supple and also reduces the chances of the skin tearing too much and making the mark more harsh than it needs to be. The key to good skin is to moisturise daily no matter what

I plan to try it on my belly button, because it was pierced but then it got a nasty infection. so yeah good luck
