Cocoa oil works best, its really thick & white, instead of creamy like lotion & it works a lot better its not only used for stretch marks it reduces itching as well!

Kukui nut body cream or oil. Works quite well, no stretch marks for me yet and if you already had stretch marks it will lighten them :)

Nothing really works!
I didn't get anything with my 1st pregnancy, with my 2nd I got a few on my sides after been connected to the IV for over 32hrs (during labor), im currently 28wks and started noticing a few stretch marks around my navel I always used cocoa butter and It help with my first but not with this pregnancy it all depends on your skin, genes, if u drink water, eat healthy manage your weight.

Not even laser works like they tell you I tried to get them removed after my second and they just looked lighter than my skin:'(

Lots will say they never fully go away but fade over time :( i personally use coconut oil on belly and boobs since about week 24 (currently 31 weeks) and still looking pretty smooth. Im a first time mom and my mom told me not to scratch cuz that can make them show even more. Hope this helps!

Nothing will make them "go away" but a lot of women use baby oil, vitamin e and bio oil to reduce the redness of them.
