Does anyone know of any stretch mark creme that works?
I have stretch marks that are getting more visibly red. I tried searching the bb store and there are a lot of products for stretch marks. I was wondering if anyone has tried any products from bb store or any other website that works.

You have to realize that any potential solution is a long term one. They won't get better overnight and will probably take months before improvement is seen. Cocoa and shea butter are two products that seem to work for many people. Make sure you get a pure product and not something diluted and made into a lotion.

Lol nothing works for stretch marks. At least no creams or lotions. If u dont beleive me.. read up on it and u will realize its almost impossible to get a cream or lotion to the dermis layer of the skin
The only thing that i used that worked to an extent was Glycolic Acid 70% peels. It was no miracle difference tho. Just took the red out a bit.
Otherwise, go to walgreens/cvs and buy some sally hansons leg coverup. I use it on my arms.. covers up my strech marks nicely.. doesnt come off in water either! Doesnt come off if u rub against white cloths or anything!

id have to concur about coco butter, they even sell it in stick form. My wife used it before, during and after her pregnency. Works good for scars too. BTW my wife has no stretch marks at all on her stomach afterwards.

Some substances can stimulate collagen regrowth and do work. Mederma is apparently quite effective (yes the pregnant lady stuff at your local store).
Some other tips: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/louis13.htm

There has been some evidence published that tretinoin helps stretch marks.
