cream for stretch marks

[RaisedFist]

I'm sorry i forget what that cream is that ppl put on their skin where they have stretch marks that makes them fade, but anyway i was just wondering if this cream would make some minor red marks and acne scars on your face fade a bit?
and is this cream okay to put on your face?
thanks in advance guys

im pretty sure you're talking about retin-A.....it helps with acne and stretch marks

Could someone post a pic of a stretch mark?

Here's a post of stretch marks. They look like little cuts.

This is a pic of me, btw:

Just a note: There is almost NOTHING you can do to stop stretch marks or prevent them from happening. Perhaps moisturizing your skin can have some effect (pre-stretch marks) but really, if you get them, you get them, and in the years they will fade, so don't worry.

Tanning helps, and I'm really pale right now, so they look dark.

Ok, thanks ! I thought I had some but apparently I was wrong.

Thorazine you know of anything that works well for stretch marks? I got some real bad ones on my upper thighs, they've been purple for a year, my other ones on the front of my thighs faded to a white, but these are much wider (2/3" inch wide). Any suggestions? I guess if they don't fade anymore maybe I could put like make-up or something to cover them up when it comes time for competition. That retin-A stuff actually work?

[Thorazine]

Tanning man.

Tanning covers them up nicely. If not that, a lot of people like super concentrated vitamin-e lotion, or cocoa butter.

Retin-A I don't know much about, but supposedly it works well too.
