What helped to relieve your stretchmarks?

Carmen2- Awww u poor thing. I have been using Vaseline Instensive Care Lotion with aloe vera and cucumber. It doesnt leave the skin oily. I used it with my pregnancy with the twins, and didnt get any stretchmarks on my belly at all.

OUCH! Mine were insanely itchy and inflamed. i used bio oil or a very cold washer or cold shower over the marks. Good luck.

Mine never itched until I had the baby and the pressure was let off. Palmers cocoa butter or garnier toner (orange tub) worked for mine.

I'd put my cocoa butter in the fridge, so it was cool and so very soothing when I rubbed it on my belly. Didn't really help long term, but was nice at that moment

Mine are itchy too. Only thing that really helps is a body oil I use but you could even use olive oil! (I have dry skin)

I am going insane with the itch. Last night, I woke up around 4am and started scratching my belly to relieve the itch... and guess what, in the morning, I have red streaks on my belly... Before I went to bed, I applied a thick layer of Vit E cream... obviously, it did not help much. The night before that, I have tried with cocoa butter cream and it didn't do it as well... I am considering of using an ice pack just to relieve the itch. Do you think it's okay for the little one if I put an ice pack on my belly?
