What's a good Stretchmark Cream?

Ive been using Plain old Baby Oil and it has worked a treat for me so far! I use it every morning and everynight. I am nearly 33 weeks and not a single sign of a strechie

I was using all the above while preganant, bio oil, palmers, baby oil etc, then decided wanted something that didnt contain mineral oil (is absorbed by the body in the quite high quantities) and changed to plain old macadamia oil, wasnt that expensive and smells quite nice (kinnda nutty!

) worked fanatastically before and after and made my skin baby smooth too.

I used Palmer's stretch mark cream throughout my pg, and I didn't get any stretchmarks while I was pg......they all appeared within days of the birth! So I just used Bio Oil for awhile afterwards. I didn't have alot of stretchies, but they were fairly nasty looking ones. I hadn't thought about them for awhile, this thread reminded me! I've just checked and they're all gone, not a one in sight WOOHOO! Guess I can look forward to getting some more soon though

.

I'm not going to worry about using a cream during this pg, if I do end up with some more stretchies, then I'll just use Bio Oil again afterwards.

Happy Event, $5.50 a tube from the chemist or an online pharmacy.

My mum used it for all 3 pregnancies, not a single stretchmark. I'm on pregnancy number 3 now and I've never had a stretchmark on my tummy (and I am prone to them, I have them on my hips from rapid weight gain as a teenager).

I personally hate cocoa butter, I think it is overrated as a moisturiser, but that's just my personal preference.
