Mustela Stretch Marks Double Action by Mustela, Scar + Stretch Mark Reducers Review

rich cream that smeels good and moisturizes

I'm not too sure about the effect on stretch marks, but I can say that this rich cream smells good and keeps my stomach from itching from the stretching. It is a little on the pricey side, but I think it was worth a try! It absorbs quickly and feels good when massaged onto skin. Hopefully after I deliver the baby, I will see if it prevented stretch marks. — 1 year, 2 months ago

Great moisturizer, that's about all.

There is no such thing as a stretch mark remover, or even sure fire preventer. Good moisture of skin that will be stretched is essential of course, as is water, exercise, eating balanced, and NOT eating for two while pregnant. Not too much fun and not so appealing as a cream that promises to erase and prevent stretch marks! it's lovely smelling and has some great essential oils which if used throughout pregnancy might help to reduce or at least stall the inevitable, but SM are largely in the dna of your skin, how elastic it is and how it heals. SM's are tearing of the dermis, the middle layer of the skin. so something topically applied isn't going to penetrate that deep or work miracles. personally, i didn't have a stretch mark in sight until 2 weeks before delivery (oh the luck!) and they continued to develop up until about 2 weeks after. i used a combination or argan oil, mamma mio tummy butter, this cream and its sister product Mustela Intensive Stretch mark repair. Living in France this is a trusted brand, unfortunately the premise isn't possible. it's a great moisturizer however, not tacky like the intensive version (which is horrible and leaves little balls of lotion all over you and your clothes!! ). i finished the remainder on my feet before socks, and of course still hoping- on my stomach!! So all in all, unfortunately not to be a party pooper, but i learned with my 1st pregnancy that i should have watched what i ate as tedious as that was, more than the cosmetics. 5 stars for its emollient, long-lasting moisturizing properties. *p.s. i used this at least twice a day-- — 2 years, 3 months ago
