I gained a lot of weight in a short amount of time and I have stretch marks EVERYWHERE. Any ways that help to make them fade faster?

    Unfortunately they are there for life. I have had them since I was a teenager from losing and gaining weight. No Bio Oil or cream will get rid of them :sad:

    I had the same issue as you and by loosing the weight and hydrating my skin with regular body lotion on a regular basis, it helps the strestch marks a lot. Honestly my problem now is not the stretch mark but the amount of loose skin I have but I was told that this takes time to go back to normal.

    I had some from when i was a teen and my mom bought me some Stretch mark Refine cream and it seemed to make them lighter. They didnt go away completely but they are not as visible. She bought it off of one of those AVON catalogue.

    I havent seen anything yet to make them go away, but to lighten them and make them less noticeable you can us cocoa butter or a stretch mark cream...the thing is you have to be super consistent for it to work...people get the product and use it for 2 weeks and stop because the results arent what they want.

    I recently saw that Mederma has a cream for stretch marks. I don't know how it works, but their ointment for scar fading works great!

    I've heard people say to use EVOO when they get preggers to PREVENT stretch marks. I use is sometimes and I think it helps lighten a bit.

    Honestly they are there for life. Sorry but its true. They fade over time on their own and also can become thinner with weightloss and toning up. As for creams, any moisturizer will have pretty much the same effect, which is make them lighter. Just don't believe the rumor about getting tan to make them less noticeable. It is false! The skin around the stretchmark will tan but the stretchmark itself will not.
