Apparently this stuff is supposed to work really good. My stepmom used it and got zero stretch marks and a few other people have talked about it. I should have started using it sooner but better late than never I guess lol.

I used this with my first and don't have a single stretch mark. I've used it maybe once a week with this pregnancy and still don't have any stretch marks. I'm 5'3 and 125lbs pre pregnancy and my daughter was 8.4lbs . Just make sure you put an old shirt on after as it takes very long to absorb and will leave oil stains on your shirt.

Yay that's good to hear! I'm 27 weeks tomorrow and don't have any yet so hopefully this stuff keeps it that way.

I just got some too. Hoping it works ?

Yaasss! It's amazing! I mix it in with my lotion after I shower and it keeps me super moisturized and I don't have the crazy tummy itches! Love this stuff!

I just started using this and burts bees belly butter a few weeks ago and they are amazing together ?

I was wondering about the burts bees stuff! Maybe I'll get that too

I was exclusively using the burts bees belly butter and I got stretch marks on my boobs :( so I switched to bio oil and vitamin E oil to hopefully prevent my boobs from getting anymore and in hope I don't get any on my belly. My boobs grew a lot really fast though so that might also have something to do with it.

Stretch marks are genetic. So you ladies got lucky. I used this and everything else under the sun with my first. Didn't escape the stretch marks. I love them now though.

I bought some of the Palmers oil to use with the cocoa butter. Mainly just because it feels good and stops itching, but I agree with it being genetic mainly. My mom had bad stretch marks after me and I've had a few prior to pregnancy because of puberty and then my body changing when I was lifting weights all the time. None yet on my belly though, although I'm kind of counting on it happening.

Yeah I've heard it is genetic. My stepmom must have gotten lucky because her mom and sister got them bad and she didn't get one. I'm still gonna use it tho because I'm sure it'll help somewhat.

I used bio oil, coconut oil, and Palmers religiously my last pregnancy and i still got them....my Mom got them with her pregnancies and I already had stretch marks in random weird places from puberty so I expected them. My stretch marks all came in the third trimester once my belly really started getting big and I put on most of my weight then. Probably best to just try to keep the weight gain slow and steady but that's just not how it worked for me.

I'm definitely getting some ..is it good for skin tightening as well ??

I love this stuff! I did get a ton of horrible stretch marks but I knew I would because of genetics! So I used this to try and help some of that, it didn't work to keep them from coming BUT I'll tell you why I love it. After about a year when my body went back to normal the horrible red and grey marks I got were completely gone, and about two years of using this stuff most of my marks were faded away. It's a great product for lots of uses besides stretch marks I use it on my hair for frizzy days. Even though it didn't work to prevent them it helped make them less visible. I've been using this for 9 years now.

@steiblove I'm not sure, I'll have to read the box. I got it at target tho and it wasn't to expensive.

@justxaxgirl yeah I haven't been gaining weight slowly lol. I've already gained over 36 pounds. I was 100 pounds pre pregnancy and super underweight. I'm surprised I haven't gotten any yet. But like pp said, it's supposed to help make them less visible so it's deff worth a try for if I do end up getting them.

@junebugbaby3 yeah I've heard nothing but good things about it! So that's good to hear. Plus it wasn't to expensive so I figured it's worth a try ?

@korin even though it didn't work for me to prevent them, it definitely helped with all the itching from when my belly was growing!
deleted-user·
I can't find it at target?? Where do you buy it?
deleted-user·
Available at targets; cvs; Walgreens, Walmart's. And my grocery shop as well - use stop and shop. It's pricey tho - $20
Per bottle.

I've always gotten it at target but I've seen it at cvs too! Like pp said all of those places should have it!
