I have got some ugly stretch marks on my abdomen, and have been putting lots of cocoa butter ( did not help me) , bio- oil ( no result) and olive and baby oil which made skin softer but still there are stretch marks and they are spredaing on my boobs now and my hips!!
baby is due any day, so just need some feedback hoe to tackle them once i have baby out

they will fade to light silvery colour and become virtually invisible within time. some people are just more prone than others and no amount of craem or oil will help

i thought i had escaped unscathed as far as stretchmarks were concerned but now in week 35 i see it isn't to be!

bio oil was no help for me either as i had been using it all pregnancy... i do find that rubbing moisturiser in as soon as you get that itchy feeling helps (do you get that too?) as it stops you scratching whcih can make them worse apparently...

best thing i have found is the palmer's stretch mark cream - smells horrible but has made my bump much smoother and no new ones have appeared!
i also use aveeno oil in the shower every morning - my skin has never had as much care!!!

hope that helps!

I made the mistake of looking in the mirror at mine yesterday (they are all low down so can't see them myself). All I can say is !
