Stretch marks?

These things are bothering the hell out of me. Im in my late teens, and ive lost significant weight, but they have only faded slightly. what do i need to do to get rid of them for good?

Note: any rememdies that are easy to do or get a hold of are preferred, because i would have problems buying special creams or prescriptions, etc.

Re: Stretch marks?

I've been suffering from the same problem for the past 15 years. There are creams available for marks that are very recent. Marks that you've had for any amount of time, there is nothing on the market or prescription that will get rid of those. Just something you have to live with. I believe someone mentioned in a previous post about something you can get as a prescription but I don't think there's much clinical evidence that it will actually make stretch marks significantly fade.

Re: Stretch marks?

Yes, I wrote a previous post about stretch marks-please read it, its long but I think helpful.

I too have problems with the cost, so i'm trying something a little different. The two main ingredients are L-ascorbic acid and glycolic acid, so why not just buy products with those? This is just a test, because I can't afford to test the two products the magazine tested. I just bought 30% glycolic acid. The expensive product has 20% in it and costs about $26 or so. I got it for $7.75 and its stronger (spa or doctor strong). I also bought a collagan booster for $14.99. I will try these for about 4 weeks and see if I see any improvements. Also, I will be doing microderabrasion on them too, so I will see how that goes.

At home remedies don't work. I have tried the coffee beans, plastic wrap, creams, oils, etc, and they haven't worked. Another that has though, are the scar bandages( scar therapy or something, they are clear and sticky). Those made them white, but now i'm stuck with white stretch marks. BTW, i'm using these prodcuts for WHITE stretch marks, not red. For red, use a retin-A cream (I used this and it worked, but alot of redness).

Good luck
