This was one of my concerns too. Asked for recommendation from many and most votes were for Palmer's cocoa butter lotion and bio oil. But upon reading I realized it highly depends on genetic. So what is suitable on one person may not be as effective on another person. The lotion n oils helps in reducing a bit. I'm currently week 22 and using Palmer's. Planning to use bio oil in 3rd trimester. Palmer's and bio oil is more economical. I heard good reviews about Mustela as well. but it's slightly expensive than the other 2.

depende po SA genes. nasaba ko SA isang post ni andi eigenmann na lahat Ng mamahaling products ginamit nya pero madami parin syang stretch marks. NASA genes daw talaga Yun. Yung sister in law ko nung buntis maya't Maya nagkamot pero walang stretch marks wala naman syang ginamit na kahit ano. ako kulang nalang itali ko kamay ko SA Gabi para Hindi ko makamot tyan ko pero naglabasan parin.

not sure if it is any help, but I've been using clarins tonic oil (proven by my sister) since start of 2nd trimester, it helps and no stretch marks still at 26 weeks. although next time I would start from 1st trimester to be safer as my tummy still itches a little.

Ive been using oil and cream everyday since 6 week pregnant, but when i reach 28weeks stretch mark getting worser, so i guess it depends on genetics too. 😭 but the oil and cream will at least ease the itchiness. Im using palmer’s and mama’s choice.

I use palmer’s stretch marks cream. Works quite well for me, and it’s very affordable too. It’s also absorbed quite quickly and doesn’t leave a sticky residue. https://welovesupermom.com/products/4035-palmers-stretch-mark-cream-125g-1

Honestly, it's down to genetic luck. I was applying Palmers cocoa butter from the first trimester through the third. Still a victim of stretch marks! Not pretty, but it's a reminder of something beautiful :)

Been using skin moisturizer (bio oil) since 1st trimester but stretch marks still appeared. I think it depends. My sister in law did not use anything but she did not have stretch marks.

I am using mustela brand anti-stretch cream for both my pregnancies and it works for me so far. Apply it from 2nd trimester onwards and continue for a few months after delivery.

try to apply Bio Oil, virgin coconut oil or olive oil. My mum said that stretch mark will not disappear but it will slightly better if you apply those products.
