thats hard to reduce the redness of the stretch marks, but for almos 4yrs now, my stretch marks become white maybe it's because i had this for a long time, or maybe because i'm putting a lotion or maybe it's because i have a fair skin..dont worry, maybe after a year or two, it will fade and become white..or go to an OB, to have a suggestion on what kind of cream you need to put..

Hi, I have had stretch marks from my first child born 12 years ago. They started off a purplish colour, then over time they turn to a greyish white colour. They do fade however they have not disappeared. I have tried everything from biooil, moisturisers, aloe vera, cocoa butter etc. Unfortunately time makes them fade however do not think they go away. Maybe laser treatments might help, have not looked into that one yet. I wish there was a cure too, I have spent so much money on all these products and none of them work.
