Bye-bye stretch marks?

Okay ladies, here's the issue. It's spring now, which means bathingsuit season is right around the corner. My issue is that I have lingering stretch marks that I would really like to be rid of. Any thoughts on products that ACTUALLY WORK?? Much thanks!

I actually can see how that would work since foot creams have more moisturizer in them than regular lotions to help with cracked feet. I might try this out (at the very least it'll smell good!) thank you!

I used Mederma, with a little success, but I have not yet found anything over-the-counter that worked effectively. I have tried pure cocoa butter, retinoids, Tegaderm sheets, Bio Oil, etc., but none made any difference. I believe lasers and surgical procedures are the only ones scientifically proven effective, but they are quite expensive.

By the way, once they are there (and it is generally genetic as to whether you get them; I have thin, fair skin and get them every time I gain or lose five pounds, while some can gain or lose 100+ and have none), you can never be completely rid of them without surgical/laser intervention. They are actual tears in the dermis level of your skin. The products mentioned may help lighten them, so they are less noticeable, but it's like fixing a broken plate. You can glue it, patch it, tape it- do whatever you want, but you can't go completely back to the way it was. Time will generally cause them to fade, even without products.

I cannot get rid of my stretch marks since having my son. They always make me feel like I need to cover myself up. I have tried everything.

Ora's Amazing Herbal Citrus Grove Ultra Healing Body Butter has helped to reduce the visibility of my stretch marks on my stomach. It's also all natural so i'm not putting chemicals on my body.

Had you tried appareil cellulite for your stretch marks? Appareil cellulite is the small suction cup or you can say anti cellulite device which is used as a massaging device.
