Q: Best stretch mark lotion to use?

My boobs are starting to really itch, and I've acquired a couple new stretch marks on my belly. I'm wondering what people have used and found to work best for stretch marks. I know nothing it going to completely prevent or make them go away, but something has to be out there that atleast helps a little.

I used Palmers lotion until about 20 weeks. When I ran out, I switched to a vitamin E oil. I don't have any new stretch marks, and I feel like the ones I had have faded.
I have Palmers tummy butter as well, but it's too greasy and thick for me.

I have been using Palmer's Tummy Butter. It has lavender in it also and it smells so good! I found that it lasts a lot longer than the lotions. I don't have any stretch marks!

Palmer's tummy butter is what I have used with both pregnancies. It is really thick, so a little goes a long way. I'm prone to stretch marks, but so far, I have yet to get a single stretch mark with either pregnancy.

This is baby no 4 for me and I'm 38 weeks with not one stretch mark from any baby. My mum had 8 kids and not 1 stretch mark, it's just down to skin elasticity unfortunately. Palmers is good and I have been known to use bio oil but it's quite expensive. Oh and bio oil is meant to fade stretch marks. But anyway never mind it's your proud mummy tiger stripes!! :D

I used the lavender scented palmers cocoa butter and it worked wonderfully. I cant get it in stores this time around so and so far cocoa butter is helping.

I am trying Bio Oil this time... when I had my son (9 years ago) I used Palmers but still had a few stretch marks on the side of my hips and lower tummy. I've heard good things about Bio Oil (to prevent and reduce the look of old stretch marks) smells good and make skin soft

Palmers coca butter is good. A lot of people use bio-oil but it gives me a reaction. I'm using mum n be bump cream from tescos it's brilliant smells lovely and can use it on bump and breasts too. 39 weeks 4days and I've not one stretch mark on my belly. My friend used baby oil whole way through her pregnancy and swears by it, she's no marks whatsoever.

My sis used organic coconut oil twice a day and only got a couple stretch marks on her hips. Nothing significant and she loved it. :)
