I have squillions, and I got ALL of them within a space of a few days, after moisturising for months. They hurt like hell when I got them and you could practically watch them appear, marching across my tummy at a few inches a day. Its the sub-layer of the skin that tears so moisturiser would have to really soak in.
Once you get too big for your skin, something has to give ...
I used Mama Bee Belly Butter from before my belly even grew and used Dove's cocoa butter shower gel. The only stretch mark I got was in my belly button where I couldn't get the cream in!!!!! I kept waiting for them to appear, my mum got them when having me and my brother, but I didn't!
I moisturised in the morning with Palmers cocoa butter and then at night with Bio Oil (because it smells better!). I didn't get any stretchmarks.... until week 32 when I woke up, looked in the mirror and had grown a gazillion of them overnight. I think if you're going to get them, you'll get them no matter what. I'm not as disappointed as I thought I would be at getting them.
One problem I do have, is now I have the stretchmarks, I'm having reactions to most creams/moisturisers/oils. Good old Olive Oil is relieving the itch a bit and not leaving any rash.
I used palmers too. 3 times a day i would lather myself up. I have stretch parks all over my thighs, back, belly, boobs.. everywhere. They seem to keep coming too..
If you find a way to avoid them or get rid of them, let me know!
