    I have stretch marks from just having horrible posture and there's one mark in particular that I hate. It's right across my chest and I'm working on my posture just to get rid of it! There's got to be an easier way.

    I haven't read the rest of this thread, so I don't know what's already been said. There are some natural things you can use instead of creams. Greek women used to used olive oil, and I have heard emu oil works very well. Also, I dont' know how long ago you had your child, but stretchmarks tend to fade after the first year UNLESS you are on a weightloss/fitness journey. Mine are staying kinda fresh, because the more I shrink, the more stretch marks I get. lol It's FINE with me, cuz I know they fade and I'll still look good with clothes on. haha

    lol Well, the creams are more marketed, so you wouldn't hear about it. Just some maternal trivia I heard when I was pregnant. lol

    Think of them as a badge of maternal honor. :bigsmile: They can be embarrassing sometimes. I know my self esteem plummeted when I had my first child, and thought I wasn't beautiful because of them. Luckily, I made a good catch, cuz my husband loves me for who I am. Felt bad for a friend of mine. She was with a guy once and took her shirt off. He said what the hell are THOSE things? Ummmmm...... cat scratched me? LOL

    No creams helped for my stretcmarks. They only go lighter after time. I think it also depends how bad your stretchmarks are. I know some people that looked as if they were burned. But you can find out more about laser treatment. I havent done that, so dont know if it really works.

    Uhm... I've heard of grape oilseed (?). I guess that's how it's called in english, though on me it did nothing, on my sis the stretchmarks faded a little and she had a lot of them on her tights and boobs.

    I have heard that dermarollers help too, because it stimulates regrowth of your cells. Laser treatments are of course the most effective :tongue: As you lose weight stretch marks might become more apparent because they're not stretched out any more (so they look more 3D), but I don't think you can actually make them disappear without surgery :smile:

    Vitamin E oil did wonders for mine. The secret is that you have to use it while they are forming, not just after, for the most benefit. Olive oil has vitamin E in it so I'm betting that is what works it in. ;)
