Recommend your fav stretch mark creme...


I'm a first time mom, and just curious what you recommend for creme for stretch marks. I've been trying to keep some sort of exercise routine up, to help keep the skin and muscles toned, but I'd also like to help prevent stretch marks using creme.

I've heard coco butter and plain ole vitamin E, also slathering your belly with vasalineChat Icon

Any specific products you'd recommend?

If you get stretch marks, the best cream to use after them is Mederma.
With my DD i got no stretch marks until 2 days before she was born and when she dropped, BAM there were the stretch marks, the Mederma did wonders.

I swore by this stuff!!! My mom is loaded with stretchmarks from her 2 pregnancies, I have not one from either of mine. I truly believe it's because I was neurotic about applying products constantly.

Every morning after a shower while damp--load this on:

Every night before bed spray down belly and cover:

I use tummy honey and palmers, love the smell of the tummy honey and how it doesn't absorb into the skin right away

my sister has been through 4 pregnancies without a single mark, and she swears by this product.

i used it the first time around and didn't get a single mark either... hoping for the same this time around!!

it's a little expensive, but a bottle will last you your whole pregnancy - a little goes a LONG way...

I'm on my third pregnancy and I am using Palmer's again with vitamin E. I lube up after my showers when my skin is still a little wet to get the best hydration.

Re: Recommend your fav stretch mark creme...

I have been using BIO OIL since I first found out I was pregnant. (knock on wood), I do not have one mark on my body. My mother has them and that's why I was concerned. It is expensive for a small bottle ($11.00) - but worth every penny. And besides, it smells so good!!
