Massaging the skin with Vitamin E oil/cream or taking Vitamin E capsules helps in making stretch marks fade away or less noticeable. Check out http://nm0.org for more information.

Answer 3

I have got some bad stretch marks on my stomach after having my son..the only thing that I could do was to fade them more using a pumice stone and tea tree oil, lemon juice,and viatmin E.
After a shower, scrub the area with the pumice stone to remove dead skin. Then take some tea tree oil, lemon juice,and viatmin E capsule (open it and take the liquid out) and rub it on the marks. Do this everyday (perferably in the morning then in the evening) and you should start to fade in a couple of weeks.

You have to remember that stretch marks are scars so you wont be able to get rid of the scarring (sorry to be the barrier of bad news). But you can fade them so that they will blend in with your skin.

Here are a list of other options in the link below.

Good luck dear!

Answer 4

Unfortunately not really, no. Moisturizing and time will help fade the marks, but it will take surgery to remove them. My doctor recommended cocoa butter as a topical moisturizer (apparently this is fairly widely-used for stretch marks), and it's somewhat effective if you remember to use it.

Also, you could try adding some extra vitamin E and unsaturated fat to your diet. Both play a direct role in skin quality and elasticity. I've read where applying vitamin E oil topically is supposed to help, but I haven't had much luck with it and it made my skin break out to boot. You may have a better time with it, though.

Good luck to you!

Answer 5

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. Check out http://useinfo-stretchmarks.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.

Answer 6

Yes there is a product that is available and it works well it is called body buffing scrub and another one called Skin activator replenishing cream, both of these are Herbalife products and you can look at them and buy them on line at http://shopherbalife.com/healthysolutions I also would suggest that you put vitamin e oil on your stretch marks, another thing that will help with the loose skin is a product called amenogine, you can see this on line also.
Hope this helps

Answer 7

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula

Answer 8

Creams absolutely do nothing to get rid of them. Sometimes if they are very deep, even plastic surgery won't help.
You could consult a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for advice to see what they say.
