Best stretch mark cream

Hi all. I am almost 22 one weeks pregnant and looking for recommendations for a good stretch mark cream. I am looking for more of a moisturiser than an oil as I currently have the expert midwife fantastic elastic and it's lovely but I can't stand having to wash my hands after putting it on every time, lazy I know, but I wondered if anyone had any recommendations for a good stretch mark cream/moisturiser that wasn't an oil?

Thanks so much Smile

My DS used a cocoa butter one...I think it was ponds? He got stretch marks from weight training and as soon as he noticed them he used it, it worked.

I'm using the Palmers one, it's nice and non greasy

BioOil is great, I used that and sometimes neals yard. Not one stretch mark.

This cream is amazing, all natural and it’s a body butter even though it’s made with oils so it’s a nice inbetween. I haven’t had stretch marks with either of my two pregnancies using this. I did get stretch marks growing up on my sides and bum when I wasn’t using anything, so I do genuinely think the cream prevented them for my pregnancies, as I do have skin which could mark evidently x

Mama mio . I am quite prone to stretch marks and expected to have loads. I used burts bees oil from 5 weeks pregnant and still got stretch marks early on. After buying mama mio I haven’t had another one so definitely recommend this

I really think it's genetic and there may not be a great deal you can do if prone to them.
I'm slim, had a giant bump, didn't put cream on my bump once and have zero stretch marks. Definitely nothing I did.
Can't say the skin on my face fared so well!
