Just my two cents...but I think Avon makes a product (Avon Anew Stretch Mark Cream...something to that effect) that even works on old stretch marks as well as newly formed. Has been receiving rave reviews. I will be ordering the product soon to test how well this works!

Hi everyone..!I start with eternelle & Higea I will tell you in about six weeks if this works or not...!

bio oil is really good. I used it my marks are deffinitely fading and not as bothersome as they used to be. I use it on my back too as I have acne scars....not as great for this but better than before. It's relatively cheap, available at pharmacies. I got mine at Walgreens.

Along with dark undereye circles, the stretch mark issue is another thing that I don't believe can be cured and manufacturers take advantage of our depseration and try to sell us overpriced garbage. Oh well. Us human beings will have to just live with it.

I never had stretch marks for that long but after my daughter was born (she is 9 now) I had dark stretch marks on my bikini line. I used a product called BodyMagic Rose Creme. I used it every day for about 5 months. It definitely wasn't an over night cure! What ended up happening was that the reddness faded away and became more transparent looking.
The best thing about this product (and all the others in the line) is that I can use it on my face and around my eyes because they are made from natural stuff! There are no chemicals or wierd stuff in it at all!

I use alot of there products and LOVE them!!

Skincarediva: blue chamomile definitely helps puffy eyes. There is a lot of garbage out there I agree. I have just ahd really good results with using natural stuff. I try not to use any products with chemicals.

also how much or least sleep I get, if I eat heavy foods or too much coffee, wine......

Retin-A can help lessen the appearance of old stretch marks.
Dermarolling also has gotten a following for this treatment.

I completely agree that Bio oil works wonders!!

What is bio oil?

I can't tell you what to use because I haven't found anything yet, but I can tell you NOT to use StriVectin-SD. It cost me $200 for 6oz and did absolutely nothing!!!

I agree with RG - I tried Strivectin-SD and it did absolutely nothing for me. I gave it 6 months of consistent use and gave up. The tube is so big and I had so much left that I felt guilty not using it anymore. So I started applying it on my neck - and it does make the skin soft and smooth. It just does nothing for wrinkles, which is it promoted to eliminate, in addition to its work vs. stretch marks.

It's a bit extreme but if all else fails, look into microneedling.

Now Freddy you got me curious, I don't have stretch marks, it looks like a lot of tiny needles this treatment.
Lucky me no stretch marks but I do have cellulite, can you believe this? you saw me, I don't have an once of fat and I have frog legs with cellulite!

I think you should get yourself a foam roller and use it to break down the "lumpy" areas into a smooth surface. It's interesting because you really are thin, but you say you have this condition.

Here's an example of what they look like. Foam-Roller OPTP - Foam-Roller They're readily available in places that sell exercise equipment. Shouldn't cost more than $25.

You can use this "massage" YouTube - Foam roller on glutes and continue working the upper part of the legs.

My brother and I use them quite readily to help in recovery post workout. I don't really use it with clients though because I find that alot of them have a low threshold for pain and the foam roller feels like a deep tissue massage.
