When did you start using stretch mark cream?

Question

I'm only 5 1/2 weeks, but when did you start using stretch mark cream? Should I start now to prepare my skin?

And what cream REALLY TRULY WORKS? You know, the ones these celebrities use that looks like they were never pregnant?  I may buy DreamBelly Stretch Mark Butter. It has a lot of great reviews. Have you used that?

Answer

The creams celebrities use are called Photoshop, surgery and elective C-section at 34 weeks, so the Baby won't be too big.

Stretch marks are hereditary and keeping moisturized could help, it certainly won't hurt, but if it's in your genes you'll get them.

Answer

Hi! 
I am 14 weeks and use it now.
I rotate between bio-oil, coconut oil with rose hip oil and vitamin E, and burts bees belly butter! I use it on my boobs as well because they are growing.

I use it everyday after my shower- I don't towel off just air dry a bit and then generously apply.

I put it on before bed, as well.

I've never had a stretch mark and I'm not showing yet so I can't tell you if they work but this is my routine. 
I'll keep you posted for sure.

I love Palmers cocoa butter stretch mark cream. I use it every night since I found out I was pregnant. And used it on and after my last baby. I find it great for loose skin x

Mederma worked GREAT for me. I actually didn't use any of it until after my son was born. but they're so faded and most were gonna just a little while after using it. I will be using it for this pregnancy as well!

Answer

I started on my boobs at 6 weeks and now that I'm 12 I put on my belly.

Answer

I just use regular cocoa butter for stretch marks every night after my shower. Used it as soon as we new that everything was okay with baby.

Answer

Used bio oil from the day i found out once a day after showering. Ideally twice a day but i cant deal with being slimey in bed.

As others have said if you are going to get them no amount of oils etc. Will help but im not taking that risk.

Im 28 weeks and stretch marks.......yet

Answer

I'm 27 weeks and still haven't started even though I'm really big. My skin isn't prone to stretch marks so all I have are a few light ones on my hips. I figure I'll start using it if the marks get out of control but they're fine for now

Answer

Take two flaxseed oil capsules. You need to hydrate the inside of your skin, not just the outside. 
I took them and have no stretch marks
