Was anybody ever successful in getting rid of or lightening their stretch marks? What product did you use?
I had a baby 2 years ago and my stretch marks are still pretty dark and I have a lot of stretch marks that are indented in to my skin.

if you only stand next to the ppl with them, the ppl without them will stick out like a sore thumb. thats the best remedy.

If yes, is it safe? How far in the pregnancy do you start using it.

I am pregnant with my first and if I can prevent stretch marks I want to do it...

Completely safe to use during pregnancy - a blend of natural oils.

it says on the packaging you should use it daily from 3 months. I only used it from about 6-7 months about 3 times a week - and still it was a great help. it also relieved dryness and itching!

its made of all natural plant oils.
I made it for my sister inlaws. its helped both of them!

so once you have stretch marks, youre stuck with them? I have a ton of dark and HUGE ones. I never knew it was possible to get so many. I was (still am) covered with them! I was also very itchy in my 9th (and 10th :-) ) month.

its expensive but worth it...I have strech marks from 2 close pregnancies (im still pregnant) and of course for bb#2 didn't have time to rub the creams until DH made a comment on my stretch mark, so now I make time!!!!
I use mustela for 9 months, they are 2 I use one on pre-existing stretch marks (its the most expensive and small bottle- but dont have to put a lot it) it works wanders I see a huge difference already, and there is another one a bit less expensive than the first but bottle is bigger and I put it everywhere else so no stretch mark comes.
Hopes this helps Smile

Anyone used maderma? DH swears by it for scars in general, so says it should work for stretch marks, but it feels like it tightens my skin...and I'm constantly putting moisterizer on it to loosen it 'cause it's so itchy!
