Anyone found anything that truly helps reduce stretch marks?

    Apparently Bio-Oil works but it's expensive.
    They look horrible at first but eventually fade into nothingness.

    Don't let the sun get them though!

    I found that BIO-OIL worked for me. I've been struggling with stretch marks for some time, I've tried cocoa butter, natural shea butter, olive oil, some scar cream that is used for after surgery and of everything I found that Bio-Oil worked best, but it can be quite pricey.

    Also, it's important to know that the thin white stretch marks WILL NOT disappear no matter what you try. However, if your stretch marks are raised and are a reddish or brownish color (depending on your skin tone) those can be improved over time and they also fade on their own but will not disappear.

    My doc says anything that advertises it reduces is a farce. :/

    Mine look better after getting sun on them.

    Bio oil has helped out some withh mine as well. The BEST stuff is Mederma! It has made mine pretty light... they are not half as bad as they used to be. NOTHING except laser surgery will get rid of them completely..
