While pregnant with my 2 kids, I used a stretch mark cream with cocoa butter and didn't get 1 stretch mark. I specifically used Palmer's Tummy Butter. I applied it morning and night on my belly and thighs. I've also heard good things about cocoa butter minimizing the appearance of new stretch marks.
Coco butter stretch mark creams and lotions are very effective at preventing stretch and minimizing marks. Use before and during pregnancy and breast feeding is especially helpful. Look for products that are 100% coco butter.
Cocoa butter stretch marks treatments are the best thing for you,Your treatment choice is safe for both you and your baby. There are many products on the market which may have unsafe ingredients. So make your own stretch mark cream with pure cocoa butter, olive oil and vitamin E. Before try this, make sure that you consult with your OB/GYN, skin specialist.
Coco Butter works extremely well if you are diligent in using it! If you use it twice a day (its usual recommendation) it moistens your skin which allows it to stretch more and become less dry.
I would highly recommend it. Speaking from personal experience, they work wonders. When I was pregnant I used the cream everyday and I didn't get any stretch marks at all.
