Vasaline makes this cocoa butter gel oil stuff, i've been using it every morning and every night and it seems to be making a much better difference than bio oil. Just be careful about putting on before you go out in the sun that seemed to make me break out. And don't use tanning beds they will dry ur skin out which is the opposite of what you want, they are known to cause premature aging and wrinkles so i don't think thats gonna help ur belly. Anytime i do go tanning in a bed or in the real sun i put alot of sunscreen on my belly so it doesnt dry out and get MORE wrinkley lol

for me i started putting jergens ultra healing lotion that heals and softens on my stomach with out even thinking and my stretch marks got lighter within like 2 days, if you put it on in the morning before you do your daily activities and at night after your shower or before bed

i have lots of stretch marks... i cant get rid of them not even bio oil works.... and i tired baby oil on my skin when i was prego and i tried cocco butter but nothing helped... i think they are always going to be there cause they are stretch marks and they only fade in time

Everbodys body works differently..I think you just need to try different stuff on your own and some things might work and others might not you never really know unless you try...

I heard cocoa butter lotions help clear them up. They also have special creams for post pregnant women at wal-mart for stretch marks.

i used bio oil through my pregnancy and it didnt help at all but i was told by a nurse you have to use it for 2 years straight to see results...

i use coco butter myself, and have baby oil baths , but the baby oil only helps to loosen the skin ( if your pregnant) but i would definitly try coco butter any kind, just coconut!!

im STILL pregnant... and still getting bigger... take a lemon slice and rub it over your stretch marks and wait 5 minutes... wipe it off with luke warm water and then apply either some avocado oil or palmers cocoa butter and just keep rubbing for 10 min... ive been using this since i started getting them and theyve become less red and visible. DO NOT TAN... this will turn them white and horrible!!!

My mom gave me a stretch mark lotion that you are suppose to use 3 times daily. I'm pretty sure. And it worked on me, it reduced the size and color. I'm not too sure of what its called, sorry. But try looking at wal*mart for stretch mark cream/lotion!

My doctor said nothing helps it. Its all in your mind or the body is just tanning itself. I have tried everything! Nothing is working., They seem to be getting lighter for me.

I really don't think theres anything to help your stretch marks. Stop wasting your money, they're always going to be there.
