re: stretch mark cream

Quoting baker22:“ does it make your clothes get all oily? I don't think i have seen it before..”

No.. It is pretty thick though.. Lotions just rub into your skin.. they don't really coat your skin to keep it moisturized like Bio Oil. Sometimes I throw some on my legs too-lol it's such a great moisturizer in general..I didn't hear about it until I came across a forum full of moms on here that loved it..I thought it was kinda weird at first and I didn't like the fact that it was oil either, but I love it now!
And for baby lover.. you only tried it for 2 months.. after you had the baby?
That could probably be why.. you already have the stretch marks and gaining 80 pounds I'm assuming they were deep too? I don't see what can help with those anyways.. so that's to be expected.

My stretch marks aren't very deep at all. And after twice a day for two months with no results, I figured I'd move onto something else. I'm surprised you don't find it greasy though, not only did it stain a lot of my shirts but it made my clothes feel like they were glued to me.....yuck! But, like I said, she should try it out for herself, I was just sharing my experience with it.

Also to add, I didn't have ANY stretch marks during my pregnancy. They all came from labor. I had an extremely long labor with my 1st (29 hours) and b/c of the amount of fluid they hooked me up to, it made me swell up. So, my pregnancy weight gain had nothing to do with it.

Did it really?? I always sit around for a bit after using it though-so maybe I just give it enough time to soak. I dunno.. I've definitely never had a problem with it staining any of my shirts though. But I love the fact that it's thick though-

I know exactly how you feel, my skin stretched too far during pregnancy and left me with zebra stripes. I tried all kinds of miracle creams and none of them worked even little. While having a facial treatment at a spa, as the lady is working on me she told me that she has 3 kids and no stretch marks thanks to microdermabrasion (process where special rounded crystals are applied to the skin that abrade top layer of the skin)
It's like peeling onion layer by layer until all stretch marks are gone. I loved everything I heard about it until she told me the price of $200 per treatment and you need to do series of least 10 treatments depending on your skin condition..hmm not in this economy.
I never give up so easily so I researched if there's any way I could do this myself at home and found the company that sells those same spa crystals at fraction of the price and no business license needed. For a whole month I've been making my own crystal cream by mixing crystals with lotion and massaging over stretch marks. After rinse I apply vitamin e oil and my stretch marks shrunk 50% so far. If you have any questions contact their customer service which is super nice http://www.medicalcrystals.com
