Unfortunately, all those fancy products that claim to get rid of stretch marks do not work. What they will do is keep your skin soft and moisturized so that it doesn't itch as much as it stretches.
Your stretch marks will gradually become much less noticeable as time passes but will never go away as they are similar to scars. However, you can see a dermatologist to discuss treatment. Here are a few options:
1. tretinoin cream (commonly known by the trade name Retin-A)
2. laser therapy
3. light therapy (new)
Your health insurance plan will not cover "cosmetic" procedures so you'll probably want to find out what this will cost.

Before you start spending loads of money on different creams or surgeries, there are a few simple techniques you can try on your own at home. If your stretch marks are not too severe or aged, you can try taking a body brush and scrubbing the affected areas while in the shower. This loosens up the skin, and removes the dead skin on top, leaving fresh, more normal colored skin underneath.
There are many over the counter creams and oils that you may try which can, in some cases reduce the overall appearance of your stretch marks. One of the recommended creams that will help to reduce the stretch marks is the Belli Stretchmark Minimizing Cream, which is a multi-enriched treatment specially formulated for stretchmarks.
