 Stretch Mark Products?

I figured I would ask this here since this is something mothers usually have to deal with thanks to pregnancy:

So I have stretch marks from gaining weight too fast after a hospital stay a couple of years ago. Recently, since I've been lifting a lot and trying to get stronger, they have started to get worse. Are there any good products out there that will get rid of them or at least make them not look so bad? Thanks.

Palmers Coco Butter Lotion!!! I have never used to one for stretch marks but the one with vitamin E works great for me! Give it a try you can find them at Wal-Mart, and Target. Im not sure where else sells them but you can type in Palmers in Google and the web site will come up. Good Luck

Vitamin E on them twice a day, and/or use cocoa butter or shea butter. The stretch marks won't go away, but they'll lessen considerably. If you get them sunburned, they'll discolor, too. My stretch marks from my pregnancies haven't gone away, but they've lessened a little bit. My ultra fabulous swimsuit modeling career really took a hit, though.

a friend of mine swears by Palmer's cocoa butter, she used it religiously during her pregnancy and not one stretch mark [://

I used regular lotion and have enough stretch marks to share

I got some generic brand cocoa butter stretch mark lotion at Target and after a few days, the appearance is already diminishing. Thanks ladies!
