The ones that don't get them probably never were going to.. With or without the creams help. ^
I'm using bio oil religiously but I still have some. I like to at least think I'm helping avoid new ones haha.

Yes keeping your body moist helps and prevents them

Hate to tell you but creams and serums and lotions truthfully don't stop stretch marks. You either get them or don't. It's hereditary or depends on how big your baby gets. Any Dr will tell you the same thing. Creams truthfully help with elasticity but that primarily helps out AFTER birth to actually help your skin spring back. I've used lotions and oils religiously for all of my pregnancies and I always think I'm in the clear but somewhere around 38-39 weeks a few new ones will pop up somewhere new. You might not even notice them. Example on your boobs, thighs, butt, bottom part of your tummy where you won't see the damage until after the baby is out. I wish you luck on your endeavor for perfect skin AND mommy hood but seriously just expect them to creep up on you and hope for the best.

Stretch marks are mainly hereditary so if your mom gas some from pregnancy the you will *most likely* get them. Like pp said.. not everyone gets them.

Another tip is to stay hydrated so drink lots of water. Also if you feel itchy somewhere (belly or any other part of Ur body) don't scratch it.. Put Ur oil on rt away. So make sure U keep some in Ur purse.

I would run the ingredients by Ur dr just in case. What I've used in all 3 of my pregnancies & my mom used in all 5 of hers-we don't have any stretch marks. Get pure cocoa butter bar. Also pure shea butter. I've only been able to find it on Amazon. Or at  Lush stores or online-their massage lavender or massage peace bar (they just smell better). But I never really thought about the smell... I was more concerned about stretch marks.
