You can Use Bio oil ... i use the cocoa stretch mark and i still got a few marks but with the bio oil which you can can get in Cvs, target,waltmart ,,,, it really helps the visability to fade and just make sure your skin is not dry. Use at least 3 timea a day morning afternoon and night. Hope this helps

Use mineral oil, its a laxative, but a lot of lotions have it too. I've been using it for years. Chances are if ur mom has them in her tummy u will too, meaning its hereditary. Hope that helps.

Stretch marks are determined through genetics, unfortunately, and we cannot really prevent them. I did hear that scratching makes them worse though (not entirely sure if that's true or not though).

Unfortunately it's unlikely that any of the creams/oils available will help with stretch marks as it's mainly due to genetics and the elasticity of your skin

I used cocoa butter and the oil stuff too and they didn't work for me either. It's mostly got to do with genetics.
