Bio Oil won't do anything.

Stretch marks appear when the skin is stretched, this can occur during pregnancy, with weight gain, or even a growth spurt.

The dermis is made up of fibres and stretch marks occur when these fibres break and the blood vessels that lie underneath show through,- this is why they are initially red in colour. The blood vessels will eventually contract, and the stretch marks will fade overtime and lose the bright red colour and turn a more silver/white colour.

However, they will never completely go. Once the tear is there, it's there.

Laser treatment may help the appearance, but you won't get rid of them completely.

These creams and gels cannot work.



There are creams out there that can help get rid of your stretch marks, but you need to find the right one.

I found this on the site I put in the source box below:


Things to look for in a stretch mark cream

There are a lot of creams and ointments out there that claim to remove stretch marks. The best way to fight stretch marks is to increase your skins flexibility before your stretch marks start appearing by using a topical cream on the area before the skin starts to show stretch marks. If you already have stretch marks, hope is not lost. There are creams out there that contain ingredients that help heal the skin while minimizing scar tissue.

Some of the key ingredients that you will want to make sure your cream contains are:


Vitamin A Palmitate

Vitamin A is an essential vitamin and is best known for having positive effects on vision. However Vitamin A is just as important to the largest organ; the skin.

Clinical studies have shown vitamin A to have properties that block the absorption of harmful UVA and UVB rays, as well as a stimulating effect on cell regeneration. It has been clinically shown to improve the appearance of striae (stretch marks) and regulate epidermal (skin) cell growth.


Aloe Vera Extract

Aloe vera has been shown in clinical studies to have a positive effect on wound healing and holds anti-inflammatory properties.

As stretch marks start out as microscopic tears in skin layers due to overstretching of the dermis, aloe vera helps heal these small wounds without causing scar tissue to form, effectively preventing the appearance of stretch marks. Aloe vera has been used for thousands of years by the Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Arabs, Indians and Chinese to decrease the appearance of scars and to moisturize and heal skin.

This extract from the aloe leaf protects skin from environmental factors and promotes skin regeneration.


Grapefruit Seed Extract

Grapefruit seed extract is a natural antibiotic used for many different types of skin ailments. It is a powerful ingredient to aid in the healing of skin damage. Grapefruit seed extract helps to restore damaged collagen and elastin, which strengthens and retextures the skin.

As collagen and elastin are responsible for the skins elasticity, improving and stimulating production of the connective tissue cells will prevent skin from tearing and thus prevent the formation of stretch marks. The condition of the skins connective tissue also dictates how well the skin contracts after pregnancy. So not only does this compound improve the condition of your stretching skin, after the delivery it will also aid in the contraction of your skin to its previous appearance.


DL-Penthenol

DL-Penthenol is the scientific name for pro-vitamin B5. It has healing properties on damaged skin as it works to improve the structure of both the lower and upper skin layers. DL-Panthenol soothes skin while stimulating cell growth and differentiation.

This ingredient aids in the regeneration of the skin, therefore aiding in reducing the appearance of existing stretch marks by replacing the scar tissue with new skin cells. It also acts to prevent stretch marks by promoting collagen and elastin production, which allows your skin to stretch without rupturing and causing stretch marks.


A cream that has shown to be highly effective at preventing stretch marks as well as healing stretch marks that you already have is Stretch Mark Prevention by Revitol.


Whether you are afraid that stretch marks may be in your future of if they are already a part of your life, the Stretch Mark Prevention cream is the product you will want on your side!

You could try breaking open a vitamin E capsule, and putting it on them once a day, the longer you have had them, the longer it takes to work, so its not a magic bullet, but it gets rid of scars too. Try to eat good natural food, and help your metabolism to work better, if you can get all the nutrients your body needs your body will maintain proper weight. I had a friend use Spiru-tean protien mix for this, she ate terrible junk food and did not exercise, but just by adding this to her diet she didn't lose weight but she went down 7 pants sizes!



well i've heard palmers cocoa butter or oil works best for stretch marks. but honestly, i had a breast augmentation and ive been constantly putting cocoa butter on the stretch marks ive gotten and nothing seems to help!
but maybe it will work for you. everyone is different.



Bio Oil by far. Made in either Australia or New Zealand, I forget. Can be bought online.
