I lost about 20 lbs. and my stretch marks didn't go away, they just got smaller.. I saw a commercial for Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Mark Cream..maybe that would help??

Try Vita-K. There is a large thread on this site or maybe I seen it on another, but they said a lot about vita-K. I just bought some today, so I cannot tell you if it works, you've got to give it a while.. but you can get it from a pharmacy, but i found out that walmart is about 4.00 cheaper. Look in the lotion asile and it is in a box. exfoliate the area's of your body you have then first and often!! I am gunna try a 100% coco butter stick in between the times I am using Vita-K. But the people that said it, said that it really did work.. I was actually looking for that thread, but I'm not sure if it was on another site.. But I will let you know the progress.

Well, i am going to show you a passage of a sight i am looking at now

" When you grow or gain weight very quickly, such as during puberty or pregnancy, you can get stretch marks. As your skin is over-stretched, the connective fibers can break, and this creates lines on the skin. These lines usually start out pink or reddish and fade over time. Old stretch marks may become silvery or turn a color a few shades lighter than your natural skin tone.
Whether or not you get stretch marks is determined mostly by heredity, and getting rid of them isn't easy. In fact, experts aren't even sure it's completely possible. The first thing to know is that no over-the-counter cream or lotion can remove those lines. Stretch marks occur in the middle layer of the skin, called the dermis, and common creams can't reach that far deep. Vitamin E and cocoa butter treatments can make your skin feel soft and supple, but they won't make your skin mark-free. You'll need to talk to a doctor, dermatologist, or plastic surgeon if you want to seriously reduce the lines. "
Hope it helps!

Cocoa Butter will get rid of you stretch marks. I may take time though but if you have the patients they will go away. When my sister was pregnant she would rub cocoa butter on her belly 2 times a day. By the time she already had her baby you cant even tell if she had stretch marks at all!

You can find man types of cocoa butter ranging in prices from $1-$20. She recommends Lubiderm cocoa and Shea butter formula. The Shea butter helps fade the skin while the cocoa helps remove the marks.
