Crepey tummy skin PP

Two large babies have left crepey skin on my tummy. It's not actually too severe so I think it may be salvaged by a good product if anyone can recommend? No stretchmarks just not 'tight' skin anymore.

Wishful thinking on my behalf or any miracle products I can try?

Wishful thinking I think. Mine looks like that too, well it does when I lose enough weight or suck my tummy in. It's loose skin and I don't think topical products can make much difference. Good moisturiser and fake tan will probably help it most. I feel like it's a bit like products that claim to reduce cellulite, they simply don't. Maybe something with some kind of mild acid in it to exfoliate... collagen for plumping... I think it's just about acceptance in all honesty though.

Creams don't make one jot of difference. Weight training might work and if it doesn't then only surgery will work.

Oh it definitely doesn't need surgery it's really not that bad. Just a little creased / crepey - weight has pretty much gone and I'm happy with my shape / size - just slightly crepey skin. Fake tan and rich moisturising creams will be my best bet I think!

My friend who had really big twins had great improvement with a cross trainer.

I think any size baby will do this. My 2 were small and I have crepey skin. It looks smoother when my belly is bigger.
I exercise loads, including weights and core.

Yea for me it's skin rather than the shape of me - I'd imagine it would only get worse if I lost more weight as there'd be more skin and less of me 😂

Yup. I'm a skinny thing - literally.....thin with baggy skin. It's the only way you can tell I've had kids I think (well, unless you look inside, or see the offspring trailing around with me!).
