I have absolutely brutal red stretch marks on my inner thighs. I have been using cocoa butter lotion to try and reduce how visible they are . Any suggestions?

    I personally don't think any product can help stretch marks. Time helps but surgery is the only thing that takes them away -- unless laser treatments (from spas or whatever) work.

    You can try Bio-oil or Mederma. It can sometimes help fade them. daily moisturizing will just help prevent future stretchmarks from being as prominent. I have them pretty bad and i have tried everything....

    I heard about Bio-Oil too. You have to use it twice a day for 3 months according to the directions. I've been using it almost a week now and can't see a difference but I'm going to stick it out for 3 months. I don't care if they're there as long as they don't stand out.

    Bio oil is great, takes a while to work, and maybe it's the time that fades them I don't really know, but bio oil and time helped mine fade quite a bit :)
