Q: Tummy creams/oils? Stretch marks?

Apparently getting stretch marks can have something to do with genetics but I still want to apply something on my belly/breast. Area. Has anyone used palmer's soothing oil? If not,what have some of you used that you think is helping and that you are happy with. Thank you :)

another way to try and prevent or lessen stretchmarks is to put on weight slowly, don't literally eat for two and do moderate exercise so your weight is put on steadily.

I have tried so many. Cocoa butter did not work, then i used burts bees tummy butter that didn't work, then I used Bio Oil, and it has helped a lot. However my favorite product is called Defining Gel. This product here: https://ericahutchens.myitworks.com/Shop/Product/214 It has made my PURPLE stretch marks from my daughter WHITE. And now its working on removing them all together. My favorite product by far!

I've tried the palmers stretch mark cream and didn't think it helped too much, but I tried "save my skin" by Pure Romance and within a short time I noticed my stretch marks weren't as dark or as big. I didn't use anything until after I had my son, I didn't get really big until I was around 24-27weeks and then it was just my love handles and some marks on my thighs that got the marks. "save my skin" is a great investment you only use a little bit and it goes a long way and its something that actually works.

ive used only palmers. The only thing iit will do is just make your skin more elastic that way whn you don get them tey wont hurt or look nearly as bad. I didnt get streetch marks till 33 wks wit my first and i was huge, and thats no lie. Good luck

i used E45 and bio oil, but i have a lot of stretchmarks from "growing up" so I am not under any illusio I will avoid them during pregnancy, but i like to think the cream will help soften my skin so they will be less "sore" when they finally appear !
