    Bio-Oil not working!!!

    Well, as in I've been using it twice daily for over a month now and my stretchies don't seem to be getting any lighter. They were never red, but were always purpley/mauve and yes, they're still that same color.
    How long does it generally take? Or am I just someone on whom it will not work?!!
    Bah to Bio-Oil if that's the case!

    I personally think there is nothing to make stretchies or cellulite go - no magic cures, but then I'm a terrible cynic
    Time will fade them. If you are lucky like me just as they are beginning to fade you will get another batch.

    I am another one who thinks that creams and lotions for them is a waste of money. Certainly using it wont do harm and will keep your skin nice nad soft, but nothing will help stretchies go away - they just need time.

    I used bio oil and I really don't know if that or time made them fade IYKWIM.
    And I'm not talking about my latest PG, the one before that.

    I used it during my whole pregnany and afterward and I still got the stretchies and it didn't seem to help at all. All I can say is they do fade with time to a silver line. Mine aren't quite to the sliver line stage - maybe a silver pink line but I think that's about as good as it gets.
