Hie all. I am a new member. I used peau claire lotion and mixed inside movate cream tubes. I became light but now have red thick stretch marks on my hands, legs, thighs and bums. I have tried using tissue oil but they don't go. My skin in that area if I stop using skin lighteners my skin lost elasticity and sags. What can I use to finish these scars. I have had them for now 7years. Dermatologist couldn't help me. Pliz help me as I can't expose my arms and legs etc.

Wow.I think that's the hq taking its longterm effect. Um I guess the best is to STOP use of movate and the other cream, its been proven dangerous. Use more natural creams, and plenty of sunscreen.I don't know what else to say...

Thanks teka01. I have stopped using movate and peau claire. But the thing is tissue oils including bio oil are not hepling with these scars. So someone said they had same problem and they used some beauty product called lactic acid from France, few drops in your bath water and soak yourself for few minutes and it helped their problem. So don't know how far true it is, also where to get this from . If any one knows about this product and how it works just let me know

Hi I'm a new user also I had the similar expierience using fashion fair although I must add my stretch marks aren't too too bad as your describing I thought such marks would fade after 7years that's a long time dude.

Solution
1. stop using the creams harsh I know but it's the only way to regain strength within your skin
2. laser therapy isaw a video on YouTube about lasers which can be used to reduce stretch marks
3. bio-oil this is used to reduce the appearance of stretch marks
4. replace movate with a steriod suchas dermovate which you can buy on-line instead its less harsh
5/ moisture your skin heavily to help elivate the irritation
6. Finally, if you've had these marks for 5years do begin to learn to love them as they are a part of you and most probably will be for many years to come.

I heard about some natural way of making strecth marks disappear.. like apllying real african coco butter and wrap the area with a heating pad for 15 minute.. again I never tried it myself but I heard it to help... good luck

You can use lactic acid.. but it wnt really get you too far.. its a really light peel.. you can try tca peels.. they might help.. google it and do your own research.

Thanks for the responses. I think I will try the TCA Peels and see. Just wondering because the areas with scarring is thin as a result of loss of elasticity. So will the peels work there? What will oral whitening pills do since they also help with callegen build up/ if anyone thinks these will help problem of elasticity and lighteneing my entire body pliz tell me which is the best and most effective super whitening pill on the market. And how long it takes to lighten all body

Hie Kpangor

The real african coco butter, where is it found? How will I know that's the original one? Also, does it help with stretch marks from creams? Coz remember these marks are not our ordinary stretch marks. Pliz let me know about getting this african coco butter. Am in south africa at the moment

kpangor · Feb 22, 2009, 01:57 PM

Its called shea butter it comes from ghana it's the real one it smells different from any other coco butter... since u're in south africa Google the name.. real african shea butter
Am pretty sure u'll find a website that sells it.
Or may be if u have any beauty supply in yr area u can ask them where to find it

I saw that you said you got stretch marks, but did you get stretch marks on your face? Or just your body?
