    Stretch Marks!
    If anyone knows how to lighten stretch marks or get rid of them let me know. I found this cream called TriLastin,but am not sure if I should get it I've gone threw so many creams and wasted a lot of money nothing is helping.Am frustrated I don't like to wear shorts or short sleeve shirts of the fact that I have them on my arms, behind my legs,thighs,breast,all over my body.https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/images/smilies/mad.gif

    You can never fully get rid of stretch marks but you can surely reduce them.

    I like to use cocoa butter. Try this:

    Bio-oil is reasonably priced and quite effective. Nothing totally gets rid... do not believe the hype. Removing the skin (tummy tuck) is one exception. But your stretch marks are a part of you, a part of who you are, where you have been in your life. You probably don't want to highlight them, but don't be ashamed. Its your body, flaws and all, be proud of yourself and hold your head high x

    I hear cocoa butter works, but never tried it myself. I used Mederma and it really helped to fade mine. You can barely see them now. I am the only one who can slightly recognize them and that's because I know they are there.

    Hey ! I don't think Trialastin sr works the same way for everyone, I think everything depends on the person. Everywhere I go I find different answers, some claim that it works, some others claim that it doesn't. Well it does work for me.
    Believe me I thought it was a scam when I saw the different answers but it is not. I'm 18 years old and I have had stretch marks for over 5 years, so since the age of 13, all over my arms and I have tried skin derma pro, shea butter, cocoa butter, french creams, and that thingy called Bio oil, bunch of liars, all of them!!
    I have been using trilastin sr for barely 5 days now and I thought maybe I was seeing things but it wasn't a dream, my stretch marks are fading already!! THey are less visible than they used to be 5 days ago!! But one thing you must know, my stretch marks are young they have darkened yet and I have a dark skin, so I'm black!! So I think it gives different results for everyone. I'm not sure if it will go completely, I have to wait again!! So maybe u should try one tube and see if it works and if t doesn't sennd it back to them, they will refund your money I think, I'm not sure I haven't sent them back anything yet!!
    Best of luck

    If u have to do that every month or every two weeks or whatever... don't u think it is better to get rid of them once and for all ? And at the end u end up paying more money than for a laser operation, which is quite a lot!! Besides I don't think everyone wants to get tanned!!
    And black people can't for example... if only there was a solutio for everyone, the world would b so much better!!
