Hi there. Congratulations on your pregnancy. I started using Bio Oil from about 6 weeks and have put it on religiously twice a day. I'm now 39 weeks and so far have not a single stretch mark. Whether or not the oil actually works or it's just down to luck, who knows, but it makes me feel like I'm doing something pro-active!

i used bio oil when i found out i was pregnant but found it made more appear, rather than dissappear :/

At the end of the day its up to you but nothing (no matter how expensive) is going to prevent you from getting stretch marks. you either get them or you don't! simple as.

You can start as early as you like, but as the PP said, it's going to more down to genetics and how you put weight on than what creams & oils you use.

I've been using Body Butter after every bath & shower since getting pregnant and even if it doesn't prevent me getting stretch marks, it makes my skin feel and look better (and it'll help ease the itch of stretch marks). I cream all over, including arms, legs and feet and it does help my body confidence now everything is changing! Plus the massaging action should help cellulite!

I used Bio Oil twice a day through out my first pregnancy - I had no stretch marks until I went over 40 weeks. And then they arrived in full force.
