I would like to recommend Mustela StretchMark Cream. I like the light smell and not very oily. Also, it is made of natural ingredients and doesn't contain chemicals (no parabens, phthalates, phenoxyethanol, bisphenols A and S, ca eine and alcohol). The main ingredient is Avocado peptides, which help to increase skin's elasticity. Also, it is safe to be used during breastfeeding. You can purchase it online here and it costs about $60 for 250ml. http://www.pupsikstudio.com/mustela-maternite-stretch-marks-prevention-cream-fragrance-free-250ml.html I used Clarins Oil during my first pregnancy, and Mustela for my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies. So far I do not have any stretchmark on my belly. The reason I switched to Mustela is partly because Clarins Oil is too oily for me. Some tips to share when applying any brand of stretchmark cream/oil: - apply right after shower so the skin can absorb it faster - apply in circular motion on the belly and gently massage it (not too hard) - apply on thighs too as the areas will get stretchmarks due to expansion.
I use coconut oil mixed in with a few drops of grapefruit essential oil; the oils help to moisturise the skin and provide it with healthy nutrients to fade the marks and regenerate the skin. You can get grapefruit oil here: http://www.iherb.com/now-foods-essential-oils-grapefruit-1-fl-oz-30ml/934?rcode=njz395 and coconut oil here: http://www.iherb.com/source-naturals-100-organic-virgin-coconut-oil-15-fl-oz-443-ml/5560?rcode=njz395
Try to apply stretch mark cream/oil twice a day diligently. It will not make the marks disappear but will lighten the marks. Apply at tummy area and do a gentle circular massage after bath so to have a better absortion. I used clarins oil.

Sorry, once they appear they're there to stay! Prevent it with stretch mark creams! I like Palmer's because I'll smell like chocolate. Haha.
I have tried coco butter but I don't know why I had rashes so I changed to using Bio-oil which is pretty good.
Keep it moisturize, but don't forget that stretch marks are battle scars that you should be proud of!
thanks
