Has anyone used these products and they help with their skin elasticity/stretch marks? I’ve been using them and so far so good. I’m just curious 🤔.

Best Products for Your Stretch Marks
Stretch Marks Magic
Finding the right products can help manage and reduce the appearance of stretch marks during and after pregnancy.
Hyaluronic Acid Serums
Hyaluronic acid is known for its ability to retain moisture and promote skin elasticity. A serum containing hyaluronic acid can help hydrate the skin and reduce the visibility of stretch marks. It's most effective when applied to slightly damp skin.
Cocoa Butter Creams
Cocoa butter is a classic favorite for stretch marks. It's rich in fatty acids and hydrates the skin deeply, making it more pliable and less prone to tearing. Look for creams that are specifically formulated for pregnancy, ensuring they're safe for both mom and baby.
Vitamin E Oil
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can help repair and protect the skin. Applying Vitamin E oil to stretch marks may help to heal the skin and reduce their appearance over time. It's best used in combination with a moisturizer to lock in its benefits.
Centella Asiatica-Based Products
Centella Asiatica, also known as Gotu Kola, is praised for its skin-healing properties. Products containing this ingredient can help boost collagen production, which is key in maintaining skin elasticity and reducing stretch marks.
Bio-Oil
Bio-Oil is a popular choice for treating stretch marks. It contains a blend of vitamins A and E, and plant extracts which are known to improve skin texture and appearance. It's lightweight and non-greasy, making it comfortable for everyday use.

- Hyaluronic Acid Serums
- Cocoa Butter Creams

Q: Can I start using these products after stretch marks have appeared?

Keep your skin hydrated, so drink a lot of water and apply lotion if you’d like. They’re mostly genetic though

I use coco butter. And I just started using it not long ago. And I’ve already see a difference with my existing stretch mark. They are becoming lighter. So I feel like if you use it to prevent them it would work just as well.

Your using all the good stuff but remember stretch marks are gonna come no matter how much cream and oil you put on , that’s just something the body naturally do carrying a baby & your belly is stretching ! Some people can go the whole 9 months with no stretch marks but soon as baby come out Boom stretch marks everywhere !
