What lotions should be used for streatch marks during pregnancy?

yes - trilastin PREVENTS too! I purchased Trilastin SR with the hydro thermal accelerator (came with it) about a month ago. I'm telling YOU - it works. I'm 23, mother of one. My stretch marks are on my tummy and breast, the marks are about 6 years old. (pregnancy)… I have tried lots of things: Olive oil, coconut oil, micro-dermabrasion, loofah, shea butter, Bio-Oil, Palmer's….. none of these did much except give my skin moisture and greasy. With Trilastin, the product fully soaked INTO my skin instead of being on top. Immediately, I notice how soft my skin felt! WOW. In the first week you can see slight improvement! After one month I have seen dramatic decrease in the deepness of the stretch mark and they are fading quickly! I am SOOO happy and amazed. The bottle says to use it 2-3 times a day and I usually only use it once a day. (due to my laziness) and it has been well worth the money ($80) I recommend anyone use this stuff! I think I may start using it on my face to prevent aging. I plan to use this product for a very long time. Give it a try. There is a 60-day money back guarantee. I know that products work different for everyone, but at least you can send it back.

Does Dermasal work to hide stretch marks?

Girl you are blessed because I have the honest solution. I dreaded my stretch marks. Always wear jeans and can ever wear a bathing suit. So I did my research. nothing alone works this solution may cost money but it will minimize your stretch marks so much it won't even look like its thee 1. Pray about it 2. Buy Trilastin sr its 80 or 90 dollars but it'll work 3. Buy plastic wrap 4. Buy olive oil 5. Buy derma roller 6. Buy Merderma 7. Buy cocoa butter 8. Buy elastin3 9. Emu oil Now if you don't do all of those then it's no hope......don't forget to pray to god because if you don't it won't work as well as it could... now how to put it on First pray to Jesus that this will be the first and the last thing you need to do. Second buy Trilastin sr but don't use it until you buy the derma roller. Now start using the derma roller and use it after you get out the shower twice a day after rub in Trilastin sr twice a day after each time you use the derma roller don't forget. At night time after you finish using the derma roller and finish rubbing the Trilastin SR in get plastic wrap and wrap it around your stretch area over night. Repeat this every day ok don't skip a day. It sounds funny but it works. Then after a month of doing this you're Trilastin sr will be almost all out so now go and buy elastin3 and olive oil. Now start rubbing the elastin3 in without the derma roller and after a week of using only the elastin3 start using the olive oil. Rub the elastin3 in your stretch area and leave it alone for about 3 hours. Then rub the olive oil in. after your almost out of the elastin3 over like 3 week period buy emu oil and Merderma. Now use as directed above. Don't use one after the other just put Merderma on then wait 3 hours then use emu oil. This sounds pricey I know all of the prices Trilastin sr-90 dollars Elastin3-80 Emu oil-20 Plastic wrap-5 0r 10 dollars Merderma-5 Olive oil-7 Derma roller-5-112 dollars depends on where you buy it Cocoa butter-7-10 dollars High cost is no more than 450 for all this unless you already have some of the products. Now you have to use all of this not only some trust me I should know ok this will definitely help I promise!!!
