none...If you get them you cant stop
them..Its genes not what product you use.
For dry skin use palmers cocoa butter.

Ok thank you I was just wondering,because
the cocobutter I got aswell says on it
that it helps prevent and reduce stretch
marks but people say baby oil is good for
dry skin.

of course it says that, how else would
they catch your attention and make you buy
it...Bottom line is, there is nothing out
there that will stop them..Sucks but its
true... Baby oil is not actually good
because oil does not penetrate the
skin..You need to use a cream that is
water based.

My mom didn't get stretch marks
my older sister got them bad
i got them just on the side of my tummy
and mybe at the most 5 on each side.
I bought a huge bottle of vitamin e jelly
tablets and 3 times a day cracked some
open and rubbed the vitamin e grl on my
tummy. Its supposed to help with the
elastic of your skin and the firmness of
it, but I have to agree more with emma no
matter what people say stretch marks are
genetic you're either going to get them or
not. Some lotions and butters might help
with how visable they are but thats it

Cocoa butter is best because helps the
skin retain it's flexibility and enable it
to stretch without breaking.
you can't completely prevent them, but you
can minimise them. Once they happen
that's it though, you have them forever.
They will fade and become slight silvery
lines eventually.
