So in comparing the results from the Palmers stuff with the more expensive Mederma... I choose Palmers.
Check it out.

LOL! Thanks! :p

Ok, more on stretch marks.

I know you like research dachsonish, here is a site with so much of it, it will make your head spin!
Now the pictures of this women's results look OK. I think she is well on her way to fading her marks, but it is going to take some time. Hers are so red. Probably due to the TCA peel she has apparently done on her stomach. Ouch!
So if Palmers does not work, here is another method some can try to rid of the marks. We have a while to go before next summer so now is the time to start getting in shape. I live in Wisconsin not California where it is summer all year around.
I like reading this site. Lot's of information. I've learned from this site that some cosmetic creams don't really moisturize the skin and that biological oils are superior moisturizers for skin. Oil is not bad for the skin(the cosmetic industry advertised the idea that oils were bad for skin).

I bought their Squalane.(Derived from olive oil)
Squalene is from shark liver. YUCK.
And let me tell you it works awsome. It feels sort of like baby oil but a bit heavier. And I'm thinking I'm when I put this stuff on my face I'm going to look all greasy. And I didn't!!
I was in shock.:eek:
This oil does not leave my forehead or nose looking shiny at all. And that's the Tzone area too! I apply about three to five drops on my hands, rub hands and then spread it on my face. My skin feels
sooooo soft.
This is my moisturizer for sure! It's a keeper. Some creams I used looked all right but after a while after I'd look in the mirror and I'd have to take tissue paper and blot my forehead and nose,n ot with this product and little bit goes a long way.
The skinbio site can be hard to navigata at times. That's why I bookmarked some of the articles and products I'm interested in so I can get back to them fast.
