Stretch Marks!?

Let's face it, we all (or most) have had them at one point or another. But what's the best thing for getting rid of them? I've tried Scar-zone but found that it works far less than Cocoa butter formulated lotions. Is there anything that works better than this?

    bio-oil works ok, its not cheap tho. also this isnt the best advice but i found sunbeds hid them quite well.

    I use Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula. Mainly because it is in my price range. But I can say that although they have not disappeared, they are much less noticable.

    I had them throughout my teenage years and early twenties, they're all silvery now so not too visable...would be good to know if there are things to hide them a bit more

    Unfortunately you can not get rid of them. But they fade and turn silvery white with time. Also you can try using self tanning cream to camouflage them. I just ignore mine :)

    Time! Stretch marks are like a drunk lying on your belly the only way to sober them up(shrink/hide) is to give them time, they fade at their own rate and in their own way. Using a good moisturizer and staying well hydrated helps but stretch marks are scars that are hereditary not only can you not avoid them you can make them magically disappear shot of having a tummy tuck in extreme cases and that only removes some then it give you a new scar. Keep using the lotion you see the most improvement with, keep your skin hydrated inside and out and after a while they will fade. If you are into tanning keeping a warm glow helps hide them and makes your skin look healthier!

    Well, the ad that was at the top of the page when this post came up was for TriLASTIN. Personally I have never used it or never even heard of it, but the photos were pretty convincing!
    My stretch marks are mostly from my kids, so I wear them with pride (still not pretty, but I EARNED them).

    I have been using Mederma stretch marks therapy for 3 months, which is the recommended time. I have seen some difference, but nothing gets rid of 'em completely.
