I know that this is one of those products that is geared towards instant gratification - rub this on your fat stomach and wake up with six pack abs!!!

While I am wise enough to realize that this is a total gimmick, I've actually seen reviews of this stuff as an excellent scar/stretch mark reducer.

I've tried EVERYTHING to reduce the stretch marks I got while pregnant, and when I saw that this product might actually serve some sort of purpose, I'm now intrigued...

Has anyone used this product for stretch mark/scarring reduction? Did it help?

Any other suggestions?

***I realize there is nothing wrong with stretch marks or scars. However, I have Behcets Disease, and when I flare up, it causes extreme pain and inflammation of any scars I have, which is why I'm so interested in finding something to help.

    I'm sure the same thing applies here.
    "People put a vitamin E cream on, [and over time] notice the improvement, and quite incorrectly, think, 'Oh it's this stuff I'm putting on' — but it's not," Dr Artemi said.

    Also, alot of companies create fake reviews or pay people to review products.

    Honestly the only thing that diminished the appearance of my stretch marks was a tan.

    Retin a and tanning lotions helped a lot with the appearance of my stretch marks. I know those aren't the products you're asking about but I thought it'd help.

    A little horseradish mustard would pair nicely.

    Coconut butter and a tan helped me some. I went from 472lbs down to 245lbs so I had plenty unfortunately :neutral:
