I have 2 kids and had stretch marks from it. Nothing really workes. but now I am pregnant with number 3 after having a tummy tuck and lipo and I am using Bio oil. I have liked it so far no stretch marks have come yet, the ones I already had seem to fade a little. But the truth is there is nothing that will take your stretch marks completly away, once our skin stretches like that there is no going back!!!! I know its sad!!! I hope this helps!!!!

Shea Butter and Vitamin E Oil are the two most effective natural remedies for stretch marks. Apply Vitamin E Oil or Gel directly on skin and massage for about 5 minutes everyday. Use shea butter based creams.

I used TriLastin SR and I have almost no appearance of any stretch marks...

I recently called 4 doctors here in my area, wanting to schedule an appointment to even out my stretchmarks, and much to my dissapointment, they said that there hesn't been any sure remedy for us yet.

I researched in the web and found Fraxel and microdermabrasion are suggested solutions to even out or minimize the marks, may cost us from $2K to $6K...but if you have the $$$, you can go for it.

I also am considering taking Glutathion since I am tan, maybe if I get a lighter complexion, it will help even out my stretch marks a little...or TriLastin SR (I just browsed the net again)... I haven't decide yet...

Does anyone have a (better) choice?

I don't think that there is any way to definitely get rid of stretch marks for good or stop them from appearing in the first place, but some of the remedies suggested already in this thread can go some way towards reducing the appearance of stretch marks.

I personally use Vitamin E cream on some quite severe stretch marks on my hip area. While I'd love to say that this has got rid of them, it has helped to make them less noticeable. They have gone from purple to a light silvery-grey color after using the cream daily for around four to five months.

I plan to undergo a TT soon to reduce my post baby belly. I have tried a few stretch mark removal topical creams, but none of them have been able to deliver the results I want. It’s been almost a year and a half now, since I had my baby girl. Does anyone know if a TT or lipo will help erase all the marks, or will I have to get skin resurfacing or dermabrasion as well to make them disappear completely?
