best stretch mark creams

im trying my best to avoid the whole crazy stretch mark thing because my skins kind of hates me in that way. my boobs grew a cup size a couple years ago and my entire boobs are covered in them. so just to kind of bring them down to a dull roar, what's the best method everyone's found? just bio oil and coco butter?
ps I'm 12 weeks and already have stretch marks starting around my hips! ahh!

Coconut oil has been amazing for me! I heard it also helps to lighten your stretch marks. I'm 36 weeks and only have 1 stretch mark on my belly and have been using it my entire pregnancy

I use Dr palmers tummy butter and it has worked extremely well. I am prone to stretch marks as well and had quite a few pre pregnancy ones from rapidly gaining and losing weight but I haven't gotten any new ones since being pregnant and I'm now 36 weeks, so I recommend trying that!

I use treehut shea body butter a few times a day. And whatever you do do not scratch it worsens the stretch marks

I lost 30 pounds right before I got pregnant lol so I have stretch marks on my thighs, hips, tummy, and butt! It honestly doesn't bother me. The thing that really bothered me when I was fat was that I never felt comfortable wearing cute clothes.

I got stretch marks before I was pregnant, so easily. I'm now 26 weeks and can't seem to stop them. I have spoke with my Dr and she said since I am putting too them due to my mom having them and me already getting them, there isn't really much I can do but try to lighten the color.

Hi. I'm a freak too lol. But it sounds like you're very prone to them because at 12 weeks you're still very early. Unfortunately some people have more elasticity in their skin than others. Cocoa butter will help lighten them and so would bio oil. But stretch marks are supposedly genetics. I would just keep my skin very hydrated and drink a lot of water. I also heard vitamin E is good, coconut oil and argon oil. Good luck
