It's amazing, I'm in love. I put some on all my stretch marks yesterday morning and now they're barely visible, it's amazing. And I thought I got these two stretch marks on my hip bone and I flipped out so bad but I think I just ra into something, i dunno, but now they're gone too. :D But yeah, i guess a part of me is a little skeptical.. Your thoughts?

I think stretch marks are very individual to the person. For example, I have no stretch marks and I used nothing. My gyno always finds it surprising I even had a baby. I gained 28 lbs and my son was over 8 lbs, so my belly was big and very tight, but I never had them even when I was pregnant. I do have some tiny little ones around my belly button.
My cousin on the other hand has unbelievable stretch marks and she gained about the same amount of weight. I don't know if she used anything, but if she did it didn't make any difference.
It probably has to do with skin type, elasticity, etc. I don't think there is a magic lotion that prevents stretch marks though, or makes them go away faster, it might just be your skin retracting especially if you have ever done weight bearing exercises, that is one of the benefits of weight lifting. I did a little before I was pregnant. I can't explain it but maybe that gives you a little insight.

Yeah, thanks, and wow, you're really lucky..
I do have stretch marks and I hate them I'll try that cream....although...i have my doubts!
Geez. I think it's awesome that it seems to be working that well for you! Lucky girl! I got a few pretty bad ones when I was pregnant...I was in great shape, used lotion twice a day, and got them when I was at 8 months. Darnit. I made it so far....grrr!! (maybe it's because I'm petite, and my kid was big? and I gained 45 pounds...yikes, I know) Anyhow, I've tried every cream out there. From talking to my Doc, and all of the reading I have done about them... It's my understanding that they are obviously a scar, and will never go away, but might fade with time. Bummer. I need to invent something to prevent or get rid of them! I'd be a zillionaire! haha.
This miracle happened in ONLY ONE day? I'm sorry but I'm skeptical. Must have been something other than stretch marks. It's IMPOSSIBLE. Stretch marks are scars on the skin.
were they old stretch marks or just recently developed?
