    you can purchase a product called strivectin-sd from gnc its kinda expensive but the shit works, by all means it will not get rid of ur stretch marks but it will make them flush with your skin so they are not visible i have used this in the past for mine and it does work.

    By not getting any bigger... seriously bro. strech marks come from getting big faster than your skin could strech therefore it makes its own room.... strech marks are for life. you dont get rid of them.

    not to burst ur bubble but u can, just requires surgery and its not cheap. strivectin-sd is the next best thing to surgery if u already have stretch marks. coco butter lotion is a great way of preventing them in the first place alot of women use it during pregnancy so they dont get it on there stomach

    Palmer's Stretch Mark Lotion from Wal Mart for prevention.

    Mederma (google it or at wal mart) for pre existing stretch marks.... Have noticed a difference in mine in the last month or two after using it.

    Also, have read and don't know the validity, but drinking LOTS of water (which you should be already) will make the skin more hydrated and pliable (sp)

    I am convinced that there is nothing that can help with stretch marks. If you are genetically prone to them you will get them if you grow fast. There is no way around it, so dont waste your money on all sorts of topical ointments. the doctors had me on retin A and that didnt do jack. When I was young and first started lifting in high school I got them all over, especially in my inner thighs. Some of the ones in my thigh were so big that they would bleed when I did squats, the skin is paper thin there. Once they are old the redness fades and they will be white colored and not as noticable.
