i got some for stretch marks and my hubby that sells it at a store swears that a lot of people say it works.. just wondering if anyone else has used this and it says up to three months and i really would hate to think it would take me 3 months to get any results not to mention who knows how many bottles that would be anyone have any experiences?

Hi! My gynie advised me to use virgin coconut oil or olive oil. At the same time, she warned me that the pregnancy stretch marks are like a mother's divine tatoo. :) I have been using olive oil for four months now, sad to say i could not see the results well because i lost a lot of weight from then. Can you tell me the brand name of that oil they are talking about? I want to try it. thanks.

its called bio-oil and i know walgreens sells it for like 12 bucks for 2 ounces which is better than some out there price wise.. also helps with dry/damaged skin and uneven skin tone etc.. i got my stretch marks from taking a stupid pill that made me gain 40-45 lbs in 6 months so i got them on my legs grrrrr.. but at least i lost all the excess weight well just still bugs me in having them since i used to model and well it shows when i wear shorts and i used to always wear shorts and i know it will be a problem if i try to model again.. i know they use touch up and etc but they want you to be close to perfect to begin with never heard of olive/coconut oil.. hmm.. i would say i would try it but if it didnt work with you i guess i will pass haha.. good luck on the new stuff!!

Bio oil. At Walgreen's. Ok, thanks. I will ask my aunt to buy one for me. By the way, try toning exercises. It helped lessen the visibility of my stretch marks. :)

i think i think they are worse than they are but they still bug me.. im trying that bio oil and its definitely smoothed my skin and seems to have helped but its too soon to think that it is working ya know?? i dont wanna get my hopes up but it was cheap to try which most arent and my hubby said he knew a lot of people liking it so i figured what the heck

I'm not sure if it works or not. I use it on my face. It does feel a little softer. I would have a hard time believing it could remove a stretch mark but people say it does. I saw they now also sell a bigger bottle at Walgreens. I would say give it a try because it's not to expensive and you can even find it on sale sometimes. Good luck.

well i started using it since i posted it and it worked to a certain degree.. i had a scar that was raised up from botched stitches and it made it a TON smoother and flatter and then on my stretch marks they arent as deep.. you cant feel them is you touch them as much as before.. but the discoloration is still there so i dont know if that is suppose to improve or not.. im pale and my stretch marks are white so i dont know if there is much i can really do color wise.. but it didnt take long on the raised scars and they were a couple of years old so im hoping since the stretch marks are older that that is why its taking it longer.. i have hope though!!

Hi , I actually used a whole bottle last summer . I liked it , but you have to use it a few times a day . I actually see and love the results of cocoa butter much better . Everything works different for other people . What I do is love to test

i just hope it doesnt bug my skin.. im so allergic to everything but i figure it would be used on my legs and so it might not irritate it as bad.. and yeah i saw you have to do it 2x a day which i am not happy about.. i will be good to remember 1 x a day lol
