I have stretch marks on my thighs, are there any lotions or creams out there that work? Thanks!

Ashley -

The will always be there, but as you loose weight, they will fade. And you might want to consider using some Vitamin E creme on the locations, and Palmer's Shea Butter lotions may help.

Ashley-

I went to Target and purchased some cheap Suave Skin Firming lotion, I think it was like $2. I do notice it tightening my skin. I use it every day after I get out of the shower on my "trouble areas" (thighs, hips, abdomen, and even my lower back). I think the stretch marks are lessening. It also has seaweed extract, which is good for your skin, right?

I just wanted to let you know that you can get skin firming lotion pretty cheap.

Good luck!

God Bless <><

Stretch marks are actually the effects of "over" working the elasticity within the skin. They accor from within so creams and lotions ususally have no effects. I have heard some good things about Str Vectin but have not used it. I also have stretchmarks from having 3 children. THey gradually fade and as muscles tighten, they do become less noticable.
