Palmer’s Cocoa Butter is good at causing stretch marks to fade.

Palmer’s cocoa butter helps soooo much. I tried everything and palmers just made them disappear.

You can use the lotion you got, it won’t completely go away, but it will reduce it.

you can buy shea/cocoa butter lotion made for pregnancy stretch marks. You can purchase it at any drug or grocery store.

cocoa butter , collagen based products , and products with vitamin e the best would be plamers cocoa butter well it depends on how much you use it probably if you use it daily and right after showers like a month best of luck <3

Nothing unfortunately. If you use cocoa butter with Vitamin E religiously, meaning every single day it will help reduce them, but nothing will remove them. I also use Palmers cream for Strech Marks, i use all of the above religiously, 2 times a day at least, it does visibly reduce the marks, but they won’t ever go away

Cocoa Butter, but you’d want to get pure cocoa butter. If you go to a local beauty supply store, you can by these sticks of cocoa butter that come in short tan tubes. Its the purest cocoa butter that I know of. Good luck. I’ve used it myself when I got my stretch marks for shooting up like a bean stalk during puberty.

bio-oil, can buy it from most chemists, pretty expensive but it works. takes a good few months before noticing a difference.
pure natural shea butter prevents them and stops them looking so bad, bio oil is the best though.

Cocoa butter products are great, but you have to check the ingredients. Make sure cocoa butter is one of the first three ingredients. Palmer’s is no good. The cocoa butter doesn’t appear in their ingredient list until somewhere in the middle or towards the end. And I doubt Vaseline’s brand has that much cocoa butter at all so it won’t be all that helpful.
You can try any drug store. Just look for anything that is a cocoa butter lotion, but read the ingredients. The Body Shop has a cocoa butter stick and lotions.
How long and if your stretch marks disappear depends upon the stretch mark. I read something one time that said that if the stretch mark is new and red or maybe pink – still more flesh-toned, there’s a good chance it will disappear. If it is white, the chances of getting rid of it go down but still possible. If it is silver, name it and learn to love it. Unless you want to go the surgery route.

I heard that smart lippo gets rid of most stretch marks. As far as i’m concerned,there is no cream in the market that works. I would also suggest you to take omega-3 supplements and eat lots of fish. People wo do piplates claim to have reduced their stretch marks,but excersice is no miracle cure either. Eat a lot of avocados and see if something other than pooping green occurs. Good luck

First of all you have to determine what kind of stretch marks you have… are the a result of a pregnancy or weight loss/gain… are they red/pink/flesh tone… or are you just trying to prevent them?
There are tons of creams to fade stretch marks such as Striv-ectin works pretty good but will cost you about 125… L’Occitane and Dr. Brandt have awesome creams as well…
I’m actually considering laser removal since I lost over 100 lbs and have had plastic surgery but still have stretch marks that really bother me..
so that’s a more drastic approach..
As for scars… I swear by Mederma… it’s 20 at any drug store… workds wonders on old/new scars…
Hope that helped!

BIO OIL! I’ve been using bio-oil for stretch marks on my bottom for the past 3-4 months and they’ve faded and prevented any other stretch marks from coming. There is NOTHING that will completely remove the stretch marks, but BIO OIL is the best!
