stretch marks

what do u use?

Never heard of it but depending on the price, look into laser therapy studies show it COULD keep producing collagen for up to six months

Also my derm said anything with the "rone" ending kills collagen in the skin and it makes the skin weaker to fight stretch marks...is that true or not?

Holy crap! 130 dollars for a 6 oz bottle! Yes brother please save the money and get good results from a derm that has laser therapy sessions its about the same price but produces good results.

google it on the before and after pics

I think coco butter helps but you need to use it daily.

Before and after pics are enough proofs for me...

Used bottles of the stuff and they never got better.. just kept getting worse.

The only thing I've had any success with was Retin-A.. and that only helped to fade the bright pink/red ones .. not prevent any new ones.

Personally i think it just comes down to genetics..

Alot of it is caused by genetics this is true, one study said the severity of cases depends on how bad your mother got them when she was pregnant with you. If your mother didn't get them GOOD chance you wont either.

BUT at the same time i have a hard time dealing with stuff just because its supposed to happen haha stubborn like a donkey. The only way to completely get rid of them is basically a tummy tuck but that only works on the ab area and sides. Laser therapy or skin peels by a derm will greatly reduce the appearance and with tanning probably wont show.

Lotions do not work they seem to only work do to the fact your rubbing it in. Look it up i can't remember exactly on this but studies have shown they are not near as effective as hyped to be
