Stretch marks - second pregnancy

I am 13 weeks pregnant with our second baby. I already have some faded stretch marks from my first (5 years ago). I am wondering if anybody can recommend a product to prevent/reduce stretch marks this time? Or will my existing stretch marks end up growing no matter what I use?

Has anybody used anything in their second pregnancy that has seemed to work? I ha e been looking at the creams and bands but many are very expensive and I don't know if it is worth spending money on them.

I obviously don't have any new stretch marks this early on but if I can find a remedy to help prevent them as I am growing then I will give it a go! Smile

Unfortunately they’re genetic so no creams will prevent them. The stretch marks are formed in the deeper layers of skin that creams and lotions can’t reach. All they do is soothe itching and dryness.
