Editor's Rating & Review
This expensive cream is best known for smoothing fine lines, but we gave it a shot for what it was originally made for: stretch marks. After applying three times a day for six weeks, it did fade some of those bright squiggly lines. However, it didn't exactly provide the "significant reduction in the appearance" it promised. Plus the three-times-a-day application is annoying -- unless your idea of fun is sneaking off to the office bathroom at lunchtime with a tube of stretch-mark cream.

smells weird
corizotti (540 reviews)i've used this product religiously on my stomach after my second son was born, going on 4 years now. my stretch marks were horrific, my ob said they were the worst she'd ever seen, and they looked more like i'd been in a fire than that i'd had a baby. after he was born my skin sagged terribly, and my stretch marks were still bright red. since using this cream, for YEARS now as i've said, the marks are all white, and my skin is less saggy, though it never looked like i did before i had kids. im not sure the improvement wasnt just from time, and any lotion wouldn't have done the same. all in all, this cream is very expensive, thick, doesn't smell nice at all, takes too long to dry and you have to use it too many times a day. i think you'd be better off using cocoa butter or olive oil, at least they are better smelling, cheaper and have historicaly been used for the same purpose. — 2 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

Over priced
barbieheather2008 (251 reviews)Too expensive. It takes six or more weeks to see results. As far as wrinkles it made my face break out into hard under the skin pimples that really hurt. Not worth it — 2 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
