I started showing early and the stretch marks came with that. My doctor explained that if you have had extreme weight loss or gain in the past then your body will remember that and you will tend to gain weight in those places first. So I was destined to get stretch marks no matter what I did. The reasons why I still recommend this cream is because it is the only thing that was able to stop my itching tummy without further irritating my already sensitive skin. It has also diminished the color of the stretch marks. And now that I'm in my 34th week, the stretch marks have stretched beyond capacity and are breaking open and this cream still seems to be fighting to add elasticity where there isn't any. This product is well worth the money even if you get stretch marks. 16 of 17 people found the following review helpful: By New Mom (San Clemente, CA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Mustela Maternity Program - Promo Set (Baby Product) I bought the Mustela Double Action Stretch Mark Cream in my third month, when I first started to show, and have used it every day since. It's more expensive than other stretch-mark prevention/treatment creams on the market, but I'd heard it was the best, so I went with it. My mother has stretch marks, so I thought my risk of also having them was fairly high. I'm now at 8 1/2 months, and have no stretch marks at all to date. This also stops that "itching skin" that some ladies complain of during pregnancy. I forgot to apply it one day last week, and by evening my stomach felt stretched and itchy for the first time. When I realised I hadn't applied it that day, I went and rubbed some in, and the itching stopped. I am really happy with this product and recommend it if you're looking for something to prevent stretch marks. (As I haven't developed any, I can't comment on it's effectiveness at treating them; maybe someone else will post a review of that). 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: By Shannon (Colorado) - See all my reviews This review is from: Mustela Maternity Program - Promo Set (Baby Product) This package is amazing!! Somehow I made it through my entire pregnancy without stretch marks. I used the double action stretch mark cream every day and sometimes twice a day. The instant comfort legs also worked great. I get restless legs and the cream really puts my legs at ease so that I can sleep at night. I highly recommend this product. |
