Hi, I have lost about 8 lbs now and my stretch marks seem to be even worse looking. They seem more noticible. Does anyone know of any lotion or anything else that really works to help stretch marks fade and be less noticible? I am getting happy with my weight and now I am unhappy with my stretch marks--if it isn't one thing it is another.:mad:

    Palmers has stretch mark lotion and I'm sure there are many others out there .... check wal-mart or even go to walmart.com and see

    I tried Palmer's. With my first pregnancy, we put it on my belly every night except for 2 and still got stretch marks. I was wondering if anyone had tried something and it actually worked. Thanks for your help, though.:smile:

    I've heard a lot about bio-oil on this site. You might want to search out some posts on it.

    Do you know where you can get it and how much it costs?

    I used Avon's Super Shape Anti Cellulite and Anti Stretch Mark cream and it really worked well. It says you'll get results after 4 weeks of consistent use, but I noticed a difference after a little over a week. The marks didn't totally disappear, but they faded a lot.

    There is no way to get rid of stretch marks besides surgery... but you can make them fade thats about it

    You can get Bio-oil on the net, Amazon have it as the small bottle for $11.99 but any sites have it if you type it into a search engine.

    I use it on all my skin, it made a huge difference to a scar I had on my leg.
