My mom has bad white stretch marks on her stomach. She is EXTREMLY self concious about them and hates to wear a swimsuit. Does anyone know of any products that may help to reduce the look of her stretch marks?

Trilastin works wonders! Its a bit pricey but it is definitely worth it!

Hate to be a Debbie Downer again, but it's been pretty well established that not much can be done to reduce their appearance. Spray tan might cover them a litlte bit (just make sure it's not a real tan, which can make them even more obvious in the future!). Moisturizing might prevent more from developing but if you're genetically predisposed to them it might not help all that much. They're natural and nothing to be ashamed of... I shamelessly wear a bikini and I've got a few real good ones across my hips.

msm pills and cream can help, i've heard, because it helps with cell regeneration. I have the cream and I did put it on my stretch marks and it didn't really work that well, I only did it for like a week or two though haha, but it made my skin really soft. So maybe that could work for her.
Some other products i've heard about that are really good are:
-Strivectin SD
-Dermaroller/Skin needling
-Jean Wu Method
-Jojoba oil
-coconut oil
-pure aloe very (like brown colored, not blue)
-egg whites, because it has lots of protein
-lemon juice
-exfoliating
-cocoa and shea butter
- bio oil
- things with caffeine topically applied
* eating healthy, exercising, and drinking lots of water :)
females first forum has a LOT of really good information on stretch marks.
I've done like soooo much research on stretch marks because I have like a million of them (I'm exaggerating, obviously, but they're still bad...) and I'm only 17, lucky me. So I know, a lot about stretch marks.

I have stretch marks on my stomach, hips, armpit area and on my boobs. I've tried bio oil, the anew stretch mark cream, cocoa butter, exfoliating with coffee grounds, and honestly - nothing works. The only thing that I've found that camouflages them a bit is tanning.
