Best lotion or potion to prevent stretch marks?

There isn't one as stretch marks form in the middle layer (dermis) of the skin and no cream/lotion/oil on the market is allowed to penetrate that deep unless it is a medicine. You need to blame your parents for giving you poor genes.

Try not to gain too much weight too quickly, to allow the skin to stretch very gradually. Also, keep skin well hydrated from the inside. Any form of exercise is beneficial to skin condition generally.

Otherwise, sadly, it's down to your genes

I didn’t get any with my first and loads with my second. Didn’t do anything differently except that I put on less weight overall with my first, so I put it down to that.

Nothing works
Laser treatment afterwards if you can afford it
