    I use Bio Oil every morning after I get out of the shower, and it's helped a lot! But they're still there and I hate them! I've heard Celtrixa is amazing, but I've never used it; it's pretty expensive!

    unfortunately, nothing gets rid of stretch marks :sad: none of those creams that say they do actually do... stretch marks are actual tearing of your skin... so there's no cream that's gonna fix that... i do believe they have some laser treatments that might work though... probably expensive :grumble:

    so while there's nothing you can do about the ones you already have... maybe staying super duper moisturized will help you not get anymore...

    Msm helps a great deal. You have to take it internally. My skin is strecth mark prone and when I decided to lose weight I started taking liquid msm. So far so good.

    You are stuck with them. They will fade eventually, but never really go away. Unless you have a tummy tuck.

    Mine have lightened up since losing weight, but I found that getting sun helped to hide them better. Are yours darker or lighter than your regular skin tone? Mine were lighter.

    I use Clarins body oil to help keep my skin tight, moisturized and firm. It's awesome for weight loss and helps with stretch marks. (they also have a stretch mark cream)

    I know there isn't a miracle product but that oil really works for me.. I can't even see mine. A little pricey but it's a holy grail product to me.

    I didn't buy it from Sephora but the reviews say it all!. Awesome product

    there are no lotions and potions that can work... it's genetics.

    i have heaps of stretch marks, and they are fading after being purple, to red, to pink, to white and crater-ish, now they are finally smoothing out so i don't feel like a washboard (in a bad way). but yeah, they'll always be there.

    with darker skin they are more obvious than with light skin... it's just the way they are... horrid things!
