Rubbing a cream on the surface of the skin doesn't do this. So, if you do microdermabrsion on your stretch marks first, that takes off the top layer of your skin. Then if you apply the stretch mark cream after, the ingredients have a better chance of getting to the deeper layers of skin where they can be effective. * Revitagen stretch mark cream uses peptides to to penetrate the skin and heal the collagen matrix.
