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!

As a part of stretch marks treatment a specialist may prescribe a tropical derivative of vitamin A to erase these scars but for many some stretch marks home remedies also help. Try these stretch marks natural cures can prove effective for you.

Prescription creams - Follow the instructions for application of any cream or ointment prescribed by your specialist. A cream with a tropical derivative of vitamin A available in the market with a specialist prescription is believed to deal with the stretch marks effectively. But it won't be much effective if the stretch marks are already developed or white in color. The best time to use these creams would be when new stretch marks are developing that is when they are still pink and little irritating or painful. Consult your specialist as some creams are not recommended for use during pregnancy and lactation.

Vitamin K - Application of creams containing vitamin K and including vitamin K rich foods in the diet like tomatoes, liver, green leafy vegetables, and dairy products can also be beneficial.

Coco butter - Massaging coco butter on the stretch marks is said to erase the stretch marks especially in dark skinned people. But many believe that the act of massaging plays the trick and coco butter has little benefits. This is because massaging a scar stimulates blood flow and helps to distribute the collagen evenly making the scars less noticeable

Mix in mixer ? Aloe Vera gel + ? cup of virgin olive oil + 6 capsules of vitamin E (inner liquid) + 4 capsules of vitamin A (inner liquid). Keep the mixture in refrigerator. Apply on stretch marks or the part where the stretch marks are going to appear like breast, hips thighs, abdomen etc.
