I have just started using palmer's cocoa butter formula massage cream for stretch marks. Has anyone else used it to help their stretch marks? How would you rate it?
It has worked well for me so far! Although docs say stretch marks are pretty much hereditary. I would say try try try avoiding scratching and lather up 2-3 a day! I'm 6.5mos & I only have very little stretch marks above my thigh (idk why). My friend was 4mos & already had stretch marks on her belly! Just watch what you eat (weight gain), take walks, no scratching & lather up! :-)
It didnt work for me!! I had the lotion and the oil spray<-----which that one really helped with the itching i got But not the lotion.......The on ethat did work for me 2nd time around was this one from Avon<-----during the pregnacy and after i used this one called "prefer on" looks like a big chap stick they sell it at Walgreens and it actually has made some marks go away and this is that my son is 3 now!
I used it 2x a day throughout my first pregnancy & didn't get a single stretch mark where I applied it. The only one's I got were on the under-side of my breasts- where I didn't put it. I'm almost 33wks with my second & have slathered it on once a day simply because I'm too busy to get it done more than that, and still NO stretch marks! I do agree that it's mostly hereditary, but also depends on amount & speed of weight gain. Keep it slow & steady & don't pack it on, keep your skin moist, and you'll be just fine!
Dosent work for me I've been getting them since 4 months it sucks but oh well I dnt know what to use. Also I dnt gain weight fast I lost weight at first
So it didnt work for me..I have them!! ...but i thought it was working because i didnt have any stretch marks till 30 something wks w/ my son...BUT then they came out if nowhere!!!! Sooo n ur last months or wks i would use extra...!! And vitamin E
I been using it since I was bout 8 weeks I'm now 25 weeks n I dnt have a single stretch mark.. I really hope I dnt get any but if it happens its fine my baby girl worth it..
I didn't use it till last week cuz I noticed stretch marks on my boobs and hips. Im at 30 weeks. I've been using it every day since I noticed them. My bf bought it for me when I was 6 weeks but I didn't use it cuz I was using another type of lotion with Shea butter that smelled better... but now im hoping to keep more from popping up lol
I use Palmer's, vitamin e oil, and bio-oil, since the day I found out I was prego. I'm 25 weeks and none yet. I got mad ones from puberty when I was 12 so genetics say I'm prone to them. I've already gained 30 lbs!
My next investment is Mederma stretch mark therapy, $39.99 at Walmart and target. I just read that the ingredients are safe for pregnancy and to use it for 12 weeks minimum, I have 16 weeks left give or take so yep! I don't want any stretch marks >_<
