Hey dude. I work in boots and get asked this occasionally. Yea there is several products out there. If ya head into your local Boots you should find the right stuff your looking for in the Skin Care Section.

Peace

there are allready like a thousand threads on this!
they will all tell you that: they are very common, nothing can get rid of them, moisturising might help.

also some say coconut butter/oil diminishes their appearance, but wont remove them altogether

Actually, there is a very good oil from Palmers like cocoa butter which can reduce them. Used everyday it works on scars too, I know!

Yes, try Palmers, look in Boots in the skincare section (I work there too :smile:

) There are a variety of products including some specifically for stretch marks :smile:

Bio Oil works for stretch marks. Never heard of strech marks. Sounds German

I've got some and used cocoa butter on them before I went away. There wasn't much difference, but since I've been back they are a lot less visible.

Oooh, stuff that works on scars? I'd be up for some of that... I have one on my leg that I'd love to be rid of from a fight I had with an escalator and lost!

I think so yeah, get some, might take a few weeks for it to fade a little bit though :smile:

A tan helps cover them up! Make sure you get outside in this weather!

Surely a tan would help accentuate them if they are the silvery-white line type?

Strangely not. Mine have faded heaps, I forget I have them.

i had like a gazzilion stretch marks and my mum told me to do this, quite wierd, but it worked...
you can buy vitamin e capsule things, like that you are meant to take as a vitmain. but what you do is cut open the capsule and inside is some kind of gel/oil thing, you just have to massage this into the marks and they fade.
try it!
