Im a thin cyster but Im getting stretch marks all over my legs (in between). I just want to know if anyone have any good souurce of how I can help them to fade away or even better remove them. I seen alot of site saying they have prodcust to remove them but i want hear from someone apart from that site because they could have wrote that themselves (and not a customer testimony, u feel me?)
Anything thats can help will be appreciated because Im light-skinned and some are right beside my knees which means this summer i wont be able to wear no skirt, shorts nor even short pants.
Please I need some of my cyster HELP on this! TIA

I started getting stretch marks on my legs when I was 17 and I weighed 100 pounds so I know how you feel! I'm blonde so my skin is very fair as well. They were really red and horrible looking and I remember at my high school graduation I was thankful the gown covered my legs because my dress didn't cover enough when I was sitting down.
Use cocoa butter (I get mine at K-mart and it's only four or five bucks for a nice sized tub) on it morning and night and they will definitely fade. I also heard someone say once that if you use Sally Hansen's Airbrush Legs it will cover up any kind of mark on your skin. I've never tried it but my mom bruises easily and she uses it if she has a particularly ugly bruise. I developed some stretch marks on my stomach last fall and I've been putting cocoa butter on them and they've gotten very light instead of being a darker red.
Lots of luck! it may take a few months but they will get better. Hope this helps!
Palmer's Cocoa butter made a big difference on my skin too. I put it on right after a hot shower so my skin absorbs it. In about 4 months most of mine marks are very light and almost gone. Good luck

Which country are you in? You probably don't have the same brands as New Zealand. I do find that anything containing Q10 works quite well to tighten them up. My arms used to look as if they had been chewed by an animal and I don't recognise my breasts any more -- they look almost the way they did BC (before cysts!)

Thanks Girls
I've tried Palmers Cocoa Butter 100% but wasnt doing much for me mayb i need to use it more. I heard that Retin-A is good when it is red in colour but I have to get it from my doctor.
I will continue with the cocoa butter and add the retin-a when i get them.
If they could only fade that would be great.
Thanks again for all you replies. I'm in London England

There's a product in New Zealand (not sure if it's available elsewhere other than Australia - the website seems to indicate it can be bought in other countries) called bio oil. I use it daily and my stretch mark appearance has greatly improved (I found Palmers Cocoa Butter was an excellent moisturiser but it didn't do much for stretch mark appearance)
It's really good for other skin conditions as well. I have scarring from a psoriasis-like condition and it's just about made that disappear. Feels a bit oily at first but soaks in fast and smells good too.

Hi LEXUSAN, I have tried the Striae stretchmark cream.It works great at diminishing redness,whiteness and ridges.It's the only one I use, but you have to be consistent with it to notice results.
