I used cocoa butter /coconut oil for a while and didn't understand why the itching wouldn't stop...turns out I am allergic to it. The drs told me to use lotion/oil with oatmeal and an oatmeal bath when it is really bad. Seems to be working.

I used cocoa butter with my first and I still got alot of stretch marks. I feel like it absorbs and then the skin gets dry again quickly. So this time I use oils. I'm using BioOil, palmers vitamin e oil, and a coconut oil.  And I put one on in the morning after my shower and then a different one on at night before bed. I'm hoping it works!

I do two treatments. After my shower, I use straight vitamin E oil first and then I use cocoa butter on top of that. It relieves the itching and makes me SUPER soft.

I use almond oil after my shower. It's by Jafra and can be purchased through amazon. For the rest of the time I use Shea butter like these ladies suggested. Just try not to scratch cause this will cause stretch marks. You may also need to lotion several times a day to help with the itchiness
