i know of BioOil but unfortunately I am currently too poor to purchase as the bottles are quite expensive here in the UK ... does anyone else have any magic cures for these ugly stretch marks that have appeared on my hips and back of knees (?) with my continuing weightloss (i've lost a stone since the new year wooo!)

any help appreciated

thank you E x

    Cocoa Butter Formula Cream For Stretch Marks (Concentrated) always works for me, my stretch marks start to fade after 2-3 weeks. I bought some again yesterday!!

    I just use a cheap walmart(asda) coconut cream and its working great. The key is consistency,you have to apply it everyday,if not twice a day!

    There is a product very similar to bio-oil, but half the price. It's called re-gen oil. There was an offer on at Aldi where it was £3.99 per bottle, but not sure if it's finished. I bought some from Asda a few years ago and it's every bit as good as bio oil.

    Just googled it and aldi have an offer on this Sunday 18th:

    No to be a downer or anything...
    But you can't 'get rid' of stretch marks. You can make them appear better by using regular oil or cream but they'll never actually go. Having a tan is supposed to help them look better too. They'll eventually fade from the purple pink-y colour in to a faint silver line, but they will always be there!

    I have 3 babies and I used masses of Vitamin E cream throughout my pregnancies which seemed to help. My weight loss has helped too (I am currently 2 stones lighter than my heaviest weight) but I agree, they never really disappear just fade.

    I've heard good things about Maderna.

    I've come to accept my stretch marks - of course they'll fade, but in a way I kind of like them now since they're a reminder of how I carried a little life inside of this body for 9 months. That's such a beautiful thing.

    Yeah sorry I would have to agree. They'll never go!!! but they do fade.
