Hi
There is a product called BIO OIL that is meant to work well for stretch marks. You can also use it on marks you already have to make them fade faster.
I am using it at the moment on a scar I have.
It takes time but will help with fading and obviously if used before your baby belly grows it will help!
Its also great to use as a all round moisterising treatment once a week ive found! A little goes a long way with this stuff. The bottle may look fairly small but it lasts ages!!

Stretch marks ar permanent but a retinol based moisturiser helps reduce the appearance after 6 weeks when used twice a day. Oil of Olay do a good one

There is no cream, oil or lotion that can get rid of or prevent stretch marks. Some people get them, some dont. The only way to get rid of them on your belly after having a baby is through plastic surgery. Even then, depending on how high up they go, they may not be able to get rid of them completely. Trust me, after having 4 babies, I wish there was a miracle cream!

I'm sorry, but "wipe them off"?! Stretch marks are permanent scars under the surface of the skin. The only thing that can remove them is surgery.

Completely? Absolutely not, unfortunately... don't believe anyone who says otherwise; they're trying to sell you snake oil. Often, stretch marks fade with time, but don't completely go away. Unfortunately, the most certain way to remove stretch marks is through laser surgery. I know that's not the answer you were hoping for; good luck to you.

No, nothing short of surgery will remove stretch marks. Sorry to say, but they are permanent. There are products, however, that reduce the appearance of them. Anything with the ingredient Retinol will help.

Re-Fine Stretch Mark Smoother by Avon works really well but doesn't smell the best. But it does make your skin all shinny! It is pretty cheap too...go to www.avon.com If you want something that smells good try going to http://www.queenhelene.com/Skincarefacebodycreams-2.html The queen helene coco butter lotion smells really good!

Bio Oil - I would swear by it! It worked for me and I was amazed how fast they started fading. I noticed a huge difference after a couple of days! You an get it in Boots for about £8.

all you need is a body cream with vitamin e in it it doesnt matter how much it costs. use it twice a day and dont wear clothes that are too tight as this will just make more of them. it will not get rid of them completely but you will see a big improvement
