Yeah, and bio-oil is good too.
But you can't make stretch marks dissappear [if only we could!!] but they gradually go silvery coloured so they are not as noticeable.
To prevent new ones, watch your weight and do plenty of exercise - losing weight too quickly can cause stretch marks, and so can gaining weight quickly.

Unfortunately, cocoa butter and other things you rub on don't really help. Heredity is the problem here. You inherited skin that stretches without tears.... or not :-( Lubricating the top layer of skin doesn't affect the lower layers which are being stretched. Only good genes give you stretchy skin. In time, the stretch marks will fade out and become less noticeable. In cases of severe stretch marks... ones that are like half an inch wide... plastic surgery can help.

Cocoa butter is good. You can also use almond butter or cocoa and almond oils. I used cocoa butter. Also, adding vitamin E enhances the prevention of stretch marks.. The massaging of the stomach, hips, and breast with the butter is what is also helping to prevent stretch marks. I don't know about how to remove stretch marks.

Cocoa butter is awesome in preventing stretch marks for sure, but if you are looking for something to diminish the ones you have then you should try Bio-oil. After two weeks you will notice a difference and if you continue to use it on a daily basis you will get dramatic results.

Please buy cocoa butter in large quantities and spead it all over your belly and legs. I had a 12 pound baby and I did dad on a daily basis. I cannot guarantee you that all the stretch marks will dissappear, but it helps a lot. After 2 years I'm able to wear a two piece swim suit. Good luck!

Stretch marks will never completely go away, but surgery and weight loss are methods that will reduce their appearance. Also, since stretch marks tend to turn white in color, getting a tan will camouflage them slightly.
Edit: Cocoa butter is not a proven method of reducing their appearance.

Using cocoa butter helps to prevent them(also aloe vera, at least it did for me) but once you have them it's very hard to get rid of them, especially if they are already lightened up. You mght try Mederma, sold at grocery and drug stores, it helped with the few I had after my last pregnancy and now they are barely visible. Other than that, prevention is key! Good luck!

in many circumstances the undesirable ones ensue in the 0.33 trimester. this is a possibility that it rather is a stretch mark. Cocoa butter would not do something for some people. in maximum circumstances, while you are going to get them, you will get them no matter the way you attempt to circumvent them.

they will always be there, but cocoa butter helps to fade them

Once they are white or silver there's really nothing you can do because they are like scars. But if they are red in color coco butter can help take them away or decrease their apperance.
