    The red will likely lighten up to a pale pink or white over time. Mine are all white now (too bad I'm not paler!). So, I'm not seeing a visual difference, but hydrating your skin is ALWAYS smart for appearance, elasticity and texture. Stick with it!

    It took about 4 years for my stretch marks to change color completely.... now that im losing weight, theyre a bit more wrinkly than before... and my c-section scar is still dark, but im thinking it will work itself out and flatten out some more with weight loss. Its gonna happen :)

    I don't see a difference, but if it's only been one night, that's understandable... I don't know if there's anything that really, truly will get rid of stretch marks... I know mine faded by themselves, from the painful looking red slashes, to white(ish) scars, giving my belly more of a tiger stripe texture than appearance... I mean you can see them, but not as easily, and I didn't use anything.

    The stretch marks do not appear lighter. It takes a lot more time, about 2 months. Use a vitamin e cream that doesn't contain mineral oil and add to it extra virgin coconut oil (no more than 2 teaspoons to 8 ounces of cream) and pure vitamin e oil (high IU) Apply it to the stretchmarks twice a day. Usually, when stretchmarks are raised and reddish or purplish in color, there is still opportunity to lighten them this way. Emu oil works very well also in this blend. The coconut oil will keep your skin emollient, vitamin e and emu oil will lighten the marks.
