stretch mark cream ?

I have really bad stretch marks and have been using coco butter lotion made for them and its not helping. I know they fade after the baby is born and your body goes somewhat back to what it was, but the stretch marks are making me not like my pregnant body.
Has anyone used a cream or lotion that has helped a lot?

Have you tried merderma? (I think that's how its spelled) its rather expensive but works really well

Cocoa butter didn't work at all for me, it didn't moisturize my skin enough, or deep enough, I would put it on and then feel like I needed to put the whole bottle on lol but this Olay kind works great and i also recently started using the body wash that is called the same as the lotion, its amazing

Unfortunately there isnt much that cures it. Its hereditary. My doc told me gradual weight gain helps. I also use cocoa butter. I bet if u didnt use it at all it would be worse.

I know that every woman is different. I've heard that stretch marks are genetic, bit I've also heard they can skip generations and stuff. But, I'm on my second pregnancy and with my first and this one, I've used Olay total moisture lotion. I didn't get any with my first and only a few on my sides now with this one. I'm bigger with this one tho. But i love this lotion and its 24 hour moisture too. It works great in my opinion. I use it everywhere except my face. :)
