Re: whats the best stretch mark cream?
I used bio oil twice a day and it diidn't work.  I really think its genetic. Both my mom and sister got them too. Hoping you have good genes!!!

Re: whats the best stretch mark cream?
I love mama mio's Tummy Rub. Not because it prevented my stretch marks, but because it's the only thing that stops the itch.

Re: whats the best stretch mark cream?
having good genetics.
seriously.
its a proven fact that its biological.
you can keep skin smoother etc with lotions
but i know people who gained 5 pounds at 13 years old who have road maps of stretchmarks and others who gained 80 when preggo who have none.
its a crapshoot and it sucks!

Re: whats the best stretch mark cream?
I used bio oil 2x a day and only had 1 stretchmark. I know my older sister used nothing and had a ton of stretchmarks....so I started using the bio oil early on. I really think it helped! If anything, it did keep the skin there very soft :)

Re: whats the best stretch mark cream?
I agree its genetic. I got a ton of stretch marks around 12 years of age when I was going through puberty and getting a chest and hips. I was very thin and the weight gain was very minimal but now I have terrible stretch marks for life from that!
I started with palmers cocoa... could not tolerate the smell of it... awful... so now I use burts bees mama bee oil. much better.
