Cocoa butter for preventing stretch marks

Hi there..  I'm  on my 7 weeks 6days at the moment.  I was told to apply cocoa butter on the areas most prone to stretch marks..  Like tummy thighs etc.  Was wondering how many times a day shd I be doing that?.. I bought Palmers cocoa butter..  Any reviews over that?

With my first one I slathered cocoa butter on my stomach daily up to 3 times a day and still ended up getting stretch marks it just depends on how big you get on if you get stretch marks or not

Unfortunately, we cannot prevent stretch marks. They are genetic, and even the lotions and oils can't stop them from coming on. But if you don't buy that, then just be sure to keep yourself and your skin hydrated, and don't scratch your stomach because it will get itchy.

I did not like cocoa butter at all I actually broke out from using it with having sensitive skin.. I actually use burts bees belly butter in the morning and vitamin e oil at night all over my belly and chest and legs.. I'm 32 weeks and currently only have very light marks on my chest but my chest has grown from a size b to a size d and I know these will case because they aren't deep at all
