Lotion feedback

Hello all! I was wondering for those that have use lotions for pregnancy, which did you like and not like? Which ones did you noticed that has helped with stretch marks. I know nothing can get rid of them but something that will help keep the skin hydrated. I am using Palmers coco butter for stretch marks and firming butter. I just got (as a gift) almond butter from bath and body works.
Any feedback would be great! Thanks

Coconut Oil! Omg! With my 1st pregnancy, a boy, I got HUGE. I was constantly using the Palmer stuff. Did NOTHING. I was constantly itching there for scratching (which is why you get stretch marks). I found straight up Coconut Oil late in the game. But once I lathered up no more itching! Which helped reduce the marks. This 2nd round it's ALL I'm using. And it's way more affordable. (Got mine at target, was in a weird isle like the hair stuff isle). But definitely a miracle worker. I told all my pregnant friends about it and they were all "oh! Yea, I know... It's all I use" lol I was like yea thanks for letting me know! But seriously give it a try. It doesn't dry up as quick as lotion which is why it's so great. Keeps your skin hydrated all day. If you massage it in real good (not just belly, so your arms, boobs, legs, lower back) it will give your skin good protection in hydration (so no itching) & you'll smell pretty too! ;-)

I'm also using the Palmer's Cocoa Butter for stretch marks I find it's working very well it doesn't work the same for everybody I didn't get any stretch marks until about my 26th week of pregnancy but they are very minor and not all over and I am still using the lotion helping them keep from getting more prominent

Vaseline intensive care coca butter is my favourite! I used the Palmers cocoa butter butnits very expensive for size in comparison. I stayed away from bio oil as it contains vit a. Its up to your own personal preference!
