Sweet Almond Oil

I've been told by a couple people that almond oil is really good to use to prevent getting stretch marks and is better than Bio Oil.
Has anyone used Sweet Almond Oil before?? Or anyone have any suggestions as to what they have used and how well does it work?
Im 16 weeks pregnant and already showing quite a bit and ive gotten a couple stretch marks which are clear on my hips by my bum but just wondering if any of you lovely ladies have any suggestions?
I live in New Zealand so if there are any good products sold in other countries please send me the website :)
Suggestions are much appreciated :)

Avocado or avocado oil is the best and is known for increasing skin elasticity. Also it's really good for your scalp if your experiencing dry hair.

Vaseline is the best thing I've found its better than any oil because it stays on our skin and oils are made with alcohol which drys out the skin while it's working. Go Vaseline it's all I've used and I haven't had one single stretch mark
