Brush your skin with a loofah or skin brush when you shower to stimulate circulation.
Massage cocoa butter into the stretch marks.
Use vitamin E oil on your stretch marks. Massage it into your skin after a shower.
Talk to your doctor about using tretinoin cream on stretch marks. It is available by prescription only.
Eat foods high in vitamins A, E and C, or take supplements in addition to your diet.
Add foods or supplements to your diet that are high in zinc, which is good for the skin, and silica (beets, brown rice, bell peppers, soybeans, leafy green vegetables and whole grains), which helps form collagen, the supporting fibers in the skin.
Eat foods that contain essential fatty acids, which help make cell walls. Essential fatty acids can be found in many vegetables, vegetable oils and fish oils.
Check your local supermarket or drugstore for commercial creams such as Belly Butter, a moisturizing and replenishing maternity body cream.

Palmer's Cocoa Butter products.
I'm sixteen and have the same issues.
The products have cocoa butter, vitamin e, and aloe, which all help fade and smooth the marks.

You cant get rid of stretch marks but you can use products to help reduce the appearance of it.I use "pure"[ I believe that once its mass manufactured it cant be pure they sure adding something else to it.lol] cocoa butter and massage it directly to the problem area.
I also use cocoa butter soap to shower with and all my lotions contain cocoa butter and vitamin E.What I do is add vitamin E capsules to my lotion and use daily.
Hope you get something that works and Smile honey.No matter how hard life is Smile!

I have the same problem as you. A few months ago my mom took me to a skin doctor about them to see what we could do. He said that they are caused because your muscles grow faster then your skin, which causes the strech marks to appear. He told me that cocco butter would help lighten them a little, but there is nothing that will erase them all together. He also said that they will grow lighter as you grow older.

sorry! I think you are stuck with them. I started get stretchmarks on my thighs when I was 12. I've tried all the lotions and creams that claim to help but 13 years later, I still have them! I know, they suck!
