Finally, the truth on which promising products will actually help -- and which are just money-wasting hype
When skin is stretched after weight or muscle gain, weight loss or pregnancy, red lines appear, and over time fade like lines in sand. Though it's unclear why some people get them and others don't, hormones and genetics are likely at fault. Tuberculosis and overuse of steroids like cortisone (taken orally or applied topically), which Murad says "thin the skin and connective tissues" have also been known to make skin susceptible.
I have tried everything and nothing works on the stretch marks I have had for 30 years. They need to stop sending people into outer space and use the money for something we women are really interested in like a stretch mark cream that really works.

Its general good information for people who are trying to prevent it or who's stretch marks haven't set in already. Im giving Trilastin a try and see how that goes and if it's effective, because unfortunately I never really knew what stretch marks were until I had them

I didnt get stretch marks until I was about 7.5 months pregnant. I used cocoa butter and nothing worked. Stretch marks is one of those things that you cant predict.

I had horrible stretch marks after my pregnancy. I really did try EVERYTHING during and after that time. I just finished Lierac Phytolastil solution and it really worked! I had less redness and it tightened my tummy and shrunk the scars.
