Coco Butter, Castor oil. Or use Shea butter which I highly recommend my stretch marks aren't even noticable anymore.
But not all of these work for everyone so justRub Vitamin E on your stretch marks often.
Use other creams if you prefer. Good examples include cocoa butter, mederma cream; Retin A cream (but only if you're not pregnant); Vitamins A, E, or K; caster oil; laser surgery, in extreme cases; and thiosinaminum, which is a chemical extracted from mustard seed oil.
Rub one of these products on your stretch marks daily. Or at least before going to bed at night.

Well, there are a lot of creams, dyes, and herbal supplements that claim to remove stretch marks, there really isn't any product that works. Stretch marks are simply another form of scarring of the skin tissue. You can have them removed surgically, but depending upon your lifestyle, that in itself can leave a scar as well.
Once you have them, they are there. Over time you can improve the health of your skin with a good diet, and excercise as well, which may reduce them but will probably never make them completely go away.
If you want a good suggestion though, bull it out. Attitude is everything. When my wife and I go to the beach, she actually applies a henna tattoo to her stretch marks. She simply lines the marks with henna (a kind of dye used for making temporary, non washable tattoos) and hits the beach with tiger stripes. This gets her so much more attention then the beach bunnies out there get, that she has even been enhancing her stretch marks with yet more lines of henna.

The most effective way to handle this problem is to follow a proper care routine that prevents their occurrence. Massaging on the stretch marks serves as an excellent home remedy for stretch marks removal. You can either use olive oil, flaxseed oil, vitamin E oil or cod liver oil for the purpose of massage.

Try Vitamin E capsules. Poke a hole in it rub the oil on the stretch marks, do this a couple times a day, it takes time but it helps.

you can use cocoa butter lotion. i think the palmer's brand even has a specially medicated formula for stretch marks.
the main thing is to keep your skin well moistured. stretch marks are made worse when the skin is dry, and tight

stretch marks are actually scars so scar removing cream works pretty good. you can also try cocoa butter.

You can't really, they are due to collagen breakdown. They do fade with time though. Keep your skin moisturized - helps the 'dry' appearance - that's if you've got that..

my sister used vitamin E capsules, as someone already mentioned, and I've heard that they don't actually ever go away, but they will fade out.
