    I wish. The loose skin might go away after a while, but I don't think there's anything to really help with stretch marks.

    not exactly on point, but when I was pregnant I used BioOil. I didn't get a single stretch mark. There may be some value in using it on stretch marks. not sure. I wish i knew about this stuff as a growing teen. lots of stretch marks from those years--hips and breasts.

    My stretch marks have been fading as I shed the weight!! I also use an exfoliating soap in the shower everyday and focus on those spots using circular motions! I find it has helped a lot. I doubt they will go away completely, but when they are faded you barely notice them so much!
