I sell this stuff at work, Strixaderm. It's specially formulated to regenerate dead skin cells. It works well on burn victims and is also supposed to work on stretch marks. I don't know how well it works from personal experience, but from what they tell me, you use only a little bit and will notice results within a month. Vit-E is not as good as this stuff, but this stuff costs a lot more. The name brand they sell on tv has the same active ingredients and costs like 149.99 and this brand is 1/3 that. However, u get about 6-8 months out of 1 tube. Just a thought, I think it's worth a try.

Personally I don't think anything will get rid of stretchmarks. Its all a marketing gimmick. Surgery, laser, peel whatever would be the only possibility. Just my opinion.

nothin will get rid of em but use vitamin e oil alot n cococ butter lotion, try goin to a maternity store n get some stuff from there if all else fails

I have used Vit E. Doesnt do nething. Of course everyone reacts differently. But honestly once they are there I mean how can u really get them to disappear completely; the skin has changed. I dont think it can go back...

You might also try some of the OTC Scar repair lotions. I'm getting ready to try that on my knee....got a nasty scar from being forced down onto a cement curb by 400 lbs of MEN! (bouncer and a bad guy....physics SUCKS)!

Anyway, I read that it works on stretch marks too.

Also....for "short term" ... ie if you are going out and want ot show off the bod without the stretch marks showing so bad....try preparation H on them. It's supposed to make them not so obvious.

cocoa butter is alright

**thestudent** · 08-04-2005, 11:07 AM

cocoa butter is cheap and over time you will see a fade in the stretch marks making them less apperent

the trick is prevent guys! all those products are there for that and that only! the only thing that helps hide them a bit is tanning

Do you get stretch marks from bulking?

I had a friend recomend mederma cream to get rid of stretch marks has anyone tried that? I've been getting stretch marks at first right under my arms, now I'm seeing them around my tricep. I guess thats a way of knowing your truely growing.

Tanning helps hide them, maderma will help lighten them. But your skin will never be normal where the stretch marks are ever again, it will always be a slightly different color than the rest of your skin.

Always make sure to lotion your whole body, it will help with skin elasticity. But if you are prone to stretch marks, you will still get them.

One option is to have them lasered off, but it is expensive and painful, and still leaves a small scar.
