    Re: Stretch marks

    Hi. Awhile back some of ladies in here including myself did some serious research and has an in depth convo about this. What we determined was exfoliating the area with a sugar scrub or similar, and then using a collagen lotion (st ives makes one for pretty cheap) eventually reduces the appearance of them. You do it like every other day though, not everyday. Also, Retin-A helps reduce the appearance too, but that by prescription only. Not saying this works for everyone, but it def worked for me. They never go away but at least you see them less

      I've heard that vitamin E oil mixed with a little plain lotion on stretch marks will dull their appearance but I haven't tried it!
