Stretch marks??

Question

Good God my stretch marks are BAD! I got them big long dark ones, I got some Palmer's cocoa lotion, or whatever its called, and it's not working :( I'm 39 weeks!!! What do y'all recommend for stretch marks?

Answer

I've been using the palmers stretch mark massage cream for a week and they've lightened a bit. I'm medium toned so mine are ugly dark red but are starting to get tanish now like my skin color lol I've grown to say f**** it I'm getting lazer removal after he's born 😂

Answer

When did you start using it?  You have to start when you get the baby bump. My sister said you have to use a lot.  Or any remedy. You have to use it before they come not after.  Stretch marks are beautiful to me. A symbol that you're a mother.  Not what you wanted to hear but it's what came to mind. Best wishes. Try silicone tape. They sell it at some pharmacies. It's used for surgery cuts like c sections.

Answer

It doesn't really help once you already have them.

Consistent use of bio oil will help fade them

I was using Palmerston in the beginning and switched to bio oil and it works very well. We got it in amazing and it has lightened my stretch marks I have and it smells amazing!

Answer

Not much can be done now if you didn't try the cocoa butter before but I've heard once you're done w pregnancy / breastfeeding that retinal cream from the dermatologist can help a ton!

Answer

Stretch marks are hereditary

Answer

Honestly I tired lots of different stuff and I got them bad :( I guess we just have to live with it they will fade after the baby comes

You can't prevent stretch marks..maybe try bio oil to help lighten them and continue to use after you give birth..only time or a laser treatment will help fade them.
