There are several creams on the market, supposed to fade the appearance of stretch marks. Do any of you have any experience with these? Any specific ones you could point out that work? Any you’ve wasted money on because they don’t work? Thanks for yoru input!
My OB told me the only ones that have a chance are the ones formulated to reduce the appearance of scars, like Mederma. Stretch marks are a type of scarring. I used imitation Mederma for a while but was not vigilant enough to tell if it made a difference or not (I was supposed to use it like 4 times a day and it is expensive.) Mine are fading quite a bit on their own. I can still see them but they are not the super dark marks they used to be (this is a year later).
Things like coco butter and such don’t work.
Purely hearsay but I’ve been told repeatedly that nothing will really be effective against stretch marks. My wife is trying several kinds anyway but so far no dice.
