Hi all. I just want to ask if you know of any good way in getting rid of stretch marks? Few weeks before I give birth, I see that they got really dark. Is cocoa butter really going to help me?

I have heard that it does. That's about the only product I've heard that does work. I think it more the rubbing that does it though, not so much the product you use. By rubbing you can break down the scar tissue...so they say....

Nothing works. The elasticity of your skin is dependent upon your genetics and nothing else. That's why some women get none and others get loads (like me). Rubbing in lotions and potions doesn't help because they don't penetrate the deepest layers of the skin where the worst damage caused by stretch marks occurs. That's what my doctor told me.
Don't waste your money. I still have mine after twenty years. There's nothing that will repair them. All you can do is wait and in time they'll fade to silvery lines like mine. If you're really self conscious you can use make up to camouflage them that's designed for covering birth marks.

Maybe it does diane. You can let us know how that works out for you. :) I'm sharing advice I got 20 years ago right enough now I think about it LOL, so it's possible there are new products.
Or that your doc's just running up your bill to get his cut from the manufacturers....just saying.

Heck, I might need to change my tune then and get a truckload LOL. I am nothing if not flexible.  That's how I got them in the first place.
