Stretch mark prevention?

Question

I know I know.. there’s no real actual proof that topical treatments help avoid stretch marks, but I’m wondering if any mommas here have a favourite oil or lotion they used that reduced the appearance? I’d like to start using one in my 4th month - right now I’m just using my regular cocoa butter lotion 😊 thanks in advance!

Answer

Bio-Oil 200ml: Multiuse Skincare Oil (6.7oz)
I used this and did not get 1 stretch mark. I'm sure genetics also played a key.

Answer

Burt's Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter, Fragrance Free Lotion, 6.5 Ounce Tub
I used this my first pregnancy and got just a few tiny stretch marks. Then after reading on here a million times “it’s genetic, you can’t prevent them” I figured it wasn’t the cream and I must just have good genes. Didn’t use the cream my second pregnancy and got a bunch of stretch marks. I’m not saying genetics don’t play a part, I’ve seen stretch marks a lot worse than mine so I do still think I have good genes, but the cream definitely helped too!

Answer

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Tummy Butter 4,4 oz. & Stretch Mark Massage Lotion 8.5 fl. oz. (Original Versi
I used all 3 of these (and didn’t have any stretch marks in my experience). 
I used the Suave in the mornings when I woke up because my skin soaked it up perfectly and it wasn’t oily or greasy at all - which was much needed to go under my work clothes. (Also I used it, and still do, on my arms, legs, feet, etc.)
I used the Palmers lotion generously in the evenings and before bed, but it was a bit thicker so I had to wash my PJ’s more often (or sheets if I slept in just my sports bra cuz being pregnant I was too hot for a shirt most nights). 
Once I got “huge” and my belly/skin started to feel tight I started using the Palmers tummy butter (and then the lotion overtop) right before bed so I had a good coating while I slept. This one is the messiest of the three and a little harder to get out of the container but very worth it. My skin felt soo much better after applying this every night. Sheets got quite sticky LOL but it washed right out! 
For my pregnancy, I used about 12 fl oz of the Suave bottle and 1 & 1/2 bottles of the Palmers lotion and 1 & 1/2 containers of the Palmers tummy butter.

Answer

Renpure Plant-Based Beauty Coconut & Vitamin E Hydrate + Replenish Body Lotion, 16 fl oz (473 ml)
The product is pretty runny; so if you like thick don’t get it, but it is very fast absorbing and smells great and extremely can be use for your whole body. It comes in other scents too. I am 30wk plus and been applying after everyday shower, still no marks! Winning. It’s also nice for those dry climates too. Since one brand that says you can apply as needed. Hubby also love the smell. Bonus!
