When I was pregnant and 239lbs I didn't care. Well, now that I've dropped 52lbs and want to lose 48 more I do. Has anyone had any luck with any creams/lotions??

Thanks!

    I've noticed a SLIGHT difference in my marks after using Bio Oil once a day for a month. But I noticed even more that my skin was much firmer-especially my boobs!

    I've had stretch marks from when I was about 13 (I'm almost 21 now), when I skyrocket-ed 8 inches in a year, and then got fat the next year... ugh....

    I've noticed that my "fat" stretch marks are fading a LOT, like ridiculously (I think because I'm young), on their own, but the tall ones are not. It's annoying.....

    But anyway, I tried that new Mederma stretch mark stuff, and it seemed to kind of work, but I could not get over the smell, it smelled like dishwashing soap - SUPER strong.

    Strivectin - been using it for years!!! It works -- but you have to put it on twice a day until they are gone and it can be expensive. $120 a tube at GNC - use the Gold card on Wednesdays for 30% off

    My doctor recommended vitamin E oil. It can't hurt and isn't expensive!

    I've been using a product called "Save My Skin" (I'm a Pure Romance Consultant and I do my best to try the products we offer).
    It prevents and heals stretch marks and only $24.00 a bottle. It will repair the colored stretch marks from the inside out.
    *The white stretch marks are dead skin cells

    When I show my progress pics I get comment from friends saying they only had one child and have more stretch marks than me!

    I started to use this product after I had my girls because I thought it was to prevent the stretch marks until I read that it also heals them! So the white stretch marks are here to stay but the few red stretch marks I did have are fading or have faded away!

    That stuff is awesome for any scarring and really cheap for sure. I get laser treatments and it causes a bit of scarring so I use it. Never thought of using it for stretch marks though. Thanks!!!

    I use Arbonnes Re9 advance line and works for me... hubby even uses it on his! LOL now that the weight is coming off.. I have had 4 kids and tried some other things.. this works best for me.. lightens them a lot!
    oh ps.. I also use their rejuv cream.. my son burned both his hands in the oven when he was little and they were going to do skin graphing and maybe even plastic surgery on his hands.. I used that and he didn't have to have anything done. The plastic s. dr. was amazed.
