    bio oil i have found works really well also know a couple of friends it has worked for as well. Anythign high in vitamin e (one of main vitamins in repairing skin) is meant to be good for stretch marks

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

    where can you get the oil?

    I was able to by a 3 ounce bottle of it at a local pharmacy.

    You can get the vitamin-E gel caps and stick them with a pin - I used them in the past. They close up and you can use one pill for days! Cheap way to get vitamin-E

    I got some when I was making massage candles as gifts. I found bottles at HEB (grocery store with a generous "natural" and vitamin section).

    Whole Foods carries it. I know that, for sure. :)

    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

    Do you have to keep using it, or can you stop when they are gone?

    I personally think it depends on how bad the stretch marks are whether or not a product will help. I know lots of people that say they have stretch marks yet 'Ive never seen them.
    However for instance me, there's no glossing over them-they are deep and noticeable. And there's ALOT
    I have tried bio-oil it did not help one bit for me.
    I am currently using coconut oil as its helps nearly every skin ailment I have ever had, maybe over time it will help-but I wont get my hopes up! Everything I read says there's nothing that actually gets rid of them. Maybe it depends how deep they are.

    Yea, I know tanning isn't the best way to get rid of them but was just saying that, before I went the marks were bright red, and afterward they blended in with the rest of my skin and weren't red anymore- which is what I wanted. And no, the strechmarks won't tan, so if you go tanning too much all of your skin will be tan but you strechmarks will be white.
