Please help me out, about OLD stretch marks? :-( :-(?
Ok, I am having stretch marks ALLLLLLLLLL over for 5 years now, when I say all over I really mean it. But those which bother me the most are ones on my arms, they're so so ugly. I really did almost all kinds of research, vitamin creams, cocoa butter, shea butter, all that. But no help. I know I have been having them for 5 years now and lasers wont work.
I bought a derma roller 1.5 mm a week back. I'm using it on every alternate day. My skin as I noticed, became dry, and as of now I haven't seen much of any difference. Except that, it seems to take in mosturizers better. I really need them gone, you know how it sucks, they're so big and looks very unsightly. Anyone would be able to notice those on my arms, how much ever clothing I use, and when I see myself naked in the mirror, I go to the verge of crying.
Please tell me if you've had success with derma roller. Also tell me the guidelines to use when the needle length is 1.5mm. And how long did it take for you to get rid of stretch marks. I'd be so so glad if someone can help me out. please, am so sad :-(

My homemade aftercare ointment..?
At my shop I bought some aftercare salve called INK FIXX. They also had H2Ocean.
Today is my first day using it. Before I had used A&D. ink fixx glides on thinner and smoother, and I'm wondering about the ingredients:
Soybean Oil,
Beeswax,
Cocoa Butter,
Grape Seed Extract,
Glycerin,
Vitamin A,
Vitamin C,
Corn Oil,
Methylparaben,
Propylparaben.
I'm glad it does not contain lanolin or petroleum. Should I use this, or go back to my A&D?

Body Butter from Bed Bath & Beyond?
About a year ago I bought body butter from Bed Bath & Beyond in FL. I am pretty sure the main ingredient was cocoa butter (maybe vitamin E as well). I can't find it anymore. It was in a blue and white round tub. I don't remember the brand name--can anybody help me?

Help!!! Stretch marks?
I'm 14 years old and i have a lot of stretch marks on my inner thighs. I didn't really notice them early on and i got them a few months ago. I bought Palmer's cocoa butter with vitamin E. I've been putting it on in the morning and at night for a month and they haven't gotten better. Any suggestions to help reduce them or how long this will take. Summer is coming up and i like to wear shorts and skirts and hate these ugly stretch marks. Please help!
Scars and Tanning?
I know that tanning is bad and I do not intentionally tan. I would never go to a tanning bed. Yes, I am aware of the dangers of skin cancer. Yes, I have tried Mederma and it does not work for me.
Now, onto the question! I have a lot of scars from razor bumps on my legs and I was wondering, if I tanned a little bit, would my scars tan as well and become darker along with my skin or would my unscarred skin tan and become closer to the shade of the scars, which would not tan?
Is there anything you would recommend for scar fading? I am not willing to try lemon juice because it's too tedious and it seems to take too long. I have heard of using vitamin E and I recently bought a bottle of it. If I applied it twice a day, how long would it take for the scars to visibly fade into my natural skin color? I am aware that scars do not go away so please do not tell me that. How long will it take for cocoa butter to visibly fade scars as well?
Thanks!
