Stretch marks fade with time but they are ultimately a scar.
When enough time passes and with proper care, they're barely noticeable.
There is surgery but, it's costly and quite honestly - as time passes and they fade, stretch marks aren't the worst thing in existence, you'll barely notice them!!1 -
^^^ Truth. Mine have faded away to a silvery grey that is barely noticeable.0

I lost 160 pounds and the stretch marks were only barely visible. When I was obese, they were dark red and very wide. As I lost weight, they changed to a more skin tone color and if you didn't look closely, you probably couldn't see them.0

Tissue oil might help if they are new. (Reddish) I think they are pretty permanent when they are silvery. I've learned to love mine. I call them my Tiger stripes.0

Coffee scrub has helped mine fade a lot & im trying castor oil now as well.0

Bio Oil helped fade the "appearance" of mine on my arms especially - worked wonders. I bought it at TJ Maxx but I also saw it at Walgreens the other day. Other than that - just time. (Most) everyone has them. it's no big deal, really.0

I had 1 session of CO2 laser resurfacing done to mine and it helped smooth the surface a lot.
But other than that, no creams or scrubs have ever worked for me.0 -
Whatever works on getting rid of scars should work on stretch marks.1
