Thread: Stretch Marks- help?

bio-oil makes the stretchmarks lighter. its in a white/orange writing box. i buy it from cvs.

stop spamming please

I hava few of them.. I tried the vitamin E thing and it actually helped a lot!! I mean they ARE still there, but hardly noticeable.. I think the only reason I notice them is because I KNOW they're there. But I'm sure no one else knows :X

Yeah that's what I was gonna say. I didn't know they had it at CVS though dang I had to pay shipping and handling from ordering it online. I have a few stretch marks in a really strange place - my knees! On the sides of them. They aren't very noticable but I know they're there so I used to be kinda insecure about it. Turns out my dad has them too - lol I didn't know anybody who'd ever heard of stretch marks on your knees - guess it's due to growth spurts. 5'8" and I just had a physical & she said I might still be growin' s'more. ::lathers up knees in bio oil::

I have stretch marks on my knees as well, I think many people have them actually - when you gain weight quickly - the skin on your legs stretches just like everywhere else, that's what causes them.

Has anyone tried any creams and had good results?

I have stretch marks across my breasts, hips, upper thighs, and my butt. As old as they are, all they are now are scars. There really isn't much you can do about them, except surgery and that's a little bit dramatic if you ask me. I say just keep lotion on them to keep them from drying out and possibly becoming worse. I personally prefer Cocoa Butter or Shea Butter because A: It smells really good and B: Because they help to minimize the appearance of stretch marks. I believe that most people have them somewhere on their bodies, so just don't worry about them and wear whatever you want and be proud of yourself.
