Hi check out a product called Bio-Oil. I dont use it personally but it reduces stretch marks / scarring etc. I dont think its really cheap but it definately does work. My girlfriend used to use it and now she has returned to her usual size 8 and you can hardly notice any marks.

I hear putting cocoa butter on the fresh ones (aka reddish ones) gets rid of them.

palmers makes a cocoabutter stretch mark cream. its supposed to make them fade

You can use a product called bio-oil. Austrailian product claiming to reduce the appearence of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tones. I've got some and has always worked for me.

You can also use egyptian-magic. Used a lot by the celebs x x

Wow that must really suck!! u were left with those marks and no child.

You can't get rid of them but they do fade in time and most guys don't even notice you have them once they fade.

Sorry about your luck. Your predisposition for stretch marks is completely genetic. Your skin either stretches or it doesn't. There is nothing you can do to remove, reduce, or moisturize the stretch marks away once you have them. There is nothing you can rub on your skin to prevent them. You either get them or you don't. If it helps any, the majority of skin doesn't stretch, thus the majority of people get stretch marks. I myself have terrible stretch marks from pregnancy over my ENTIRE abdomen. I have neighbour who has NO stretch marks from pregnancy. NONE. It isn't fair, but it's reality. Although it never hurts to moisturize your skin, don't spend money on any product that promises to work magic. The only thing that makes them look better is time. Within one year they will fade from their angry red appearance to pale white lines. I'm terribly sorry about your miscarrage. Even though it was an unplanned pregnancy, it's still a loss. And congrats on getting back to your prepregnancy size! That's a feat in itself! Signed- Miss stretch mark herself!

Forget it !
Nothing will work.
Your skin has three layers , and it's the middle layer that stretches .
So what happens is ...the skin is thorn and leaves scars under the upper layer skin .
They will be there for ever I'm sorry to say .
Sorry if I have to burst your bubble .
