Are there any products that really do get rid of stretch marks?

Answer by  cassiopoeia (54)

I have found cocoa butter (Palmer's) works well, but really does more to reduce the appearance, and only while you actually use it. A plus is that the products are great for your skin in general and many can be used as a daily all-over moisturizer. However, for true removal, you should consult a dermatologist who may recommend laser procedures.

After my pregnancy I used mederma stretch mark cream. It worked wonders. However, I did notice that it worked wonders on my stretch marks that were still purple or red but was not at all effective on my stretch marks that had already turned white. It would need to be applied several times daily.

There is no proven way to get rid of stretch marks. You can improve the appearance with exercise, good diet, moisturizing and even tanning. But there is no product that will improve them.

You can use Mederma which is a product most people use as a scar reducer. I have also known people that have used cocoa butter to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

There are some over the counter creams and lotions that say they will get rid of stretch marks, but most will not. The best thing to do is prevent them, it is much easier that getting rid of them.
