Try organic coconut oil. It's a great moisturizer and helps a lot with stretch marks. Vitamin e oil and sesame oil work fairly well too, but coconut oil is by far the best. Helps their color fade postpartum also.

Did you ladies start using the creams and oils at the sign of a stretch mark or as a preventative measure (before any actual marks appeared)? Thx.

I was using Bio Oil for a brief period but had to stop as it caused me to break out in a huge rash. I would recommend using something more organic if you have sensitive skin as Bio Oil isn't so pure.

I started with palmers cocoa but the smell was so strong. I was in my first trimester, my nose was super sensitive.

Iv been using it.  Dont really have any stretch marks on my belly but I always kept it moisturized since I found out I was preggo. I started using the Palmers Belly Butter and then switched to bio oil at the end of my second trimester...just to try it out. So I'm not sure which one of them really worked. I'm still using bio oil at 34 weeks, but I have stretchmarks on my hips!!! it doesn't seem like the bio oil has really helped the marks on my hips...they r still there...

I used it on my stretch marks (keep in mind I've had them since I was 12 y.o.) the bio oil did nothing.  A part of me believes it Should've been expected.  None of the initial ingredients contain any scar reduction properties Only fillers.

I lathered my body in it with my first baby, still stretched a fair bit & have always thought it didn't work.. But my son was 10pnds & I look at other women I know who have had tiny babies & stretched WAY more than me, & think maybe it did help me! So basically its worth a try lol Better than not using it? Hope that helped somewhat x
