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, 5 months ago

It's Okay.
mvap47 (345 reviews)

It worked about as well as any other stretch mark cream only it was sold for many times the price of equivalent creams. I wasted money. — 2 years, 5 months ago

Over priced
barbieheather2008 (257 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, 5 months ago

Very Expensive Moisturizer
girlwomanbeautybrainsblog (232 reviews)

Caught up in the hype of the marketing campaign, I bought and used StriVectin two years ago, which was about the same time I started researching anti-aging products and thereafter, started a blog. The ads back then claimed it was better than Botox. I fell hook, line, and sinker for the anti-aging fisherman. After a month's application, I didn't notice any change in my skin. StrVectin is basically a very expensive moisturizer with a few antioxidants and peptides thrown in for good measure. Not that that's a bad thing. It also contains peppermint oil, that I later discovered after a trip to my derm, is a skin irritant. Many products include peppermint in their concoctions to make your skin tingle, another marketing ploy to make you feel like the product is working. Save your dollars for a good sunscreen. It will serve you better than StrVectin. — 2 years, 5 months ago

faded my stretch marks
mamalicious (196 reviews)

i started using this RIGHT after i had my baby. my stretch marks were horrible; i looked like i had been attacked by a tiger. they were at least a centimeter in width and at least 5-6 inches in length and very deep. they were also dark purple. after using strivectin, they are almost perfectly even with my skin (no more dents) and have shrunk in width and length. the color is almost the same as the rest of my skin, but you can definitely still see them. they have that silvery-look. it didnt make my stretch marks disappear, but it definitely helped. i dont regret buying it. — 2 years, 5 months ago

rediculously
AmyB58 (203 reviews)

rediculously overpriced and doesn't do anything. You would be better off just sticking a bandaid over the scar and save yourself $135.00! — 2 years, 5 months ago

Not Worth It At A Third Of The Price
MariInAz (12 reviews)

Had such high hopes, I really wanted it to work. It didn't. It did make my face angry and red every time I applied it though. I do have to say though that because of Strivectin and my desire to never get ripped off like that again I did end up finding this beauty review site so at least that was good. Do not fall for their excellent marketing like I did, save your money, this is NOT the miracle product you've been looking for. — 2 months, 1 week ago

Love this product, but it needs to be understood
Tiffanys_Face (133 reviews)

I see all of the negative reviews on Total Beauty about this product and I was shocked. First let me say that unless you are going to go under the knife of get injections of Botox, Juvederm, etc. THERE IS NOTHING ON THE MARKET THAT WILL TURN BACK TIME...I do not care what is promises. There are moisturizers, brighteners, tighteners, etc. that seem to improve overall appearance, but the majority of the time these are temporary and are only designed to soften the skin and any imperfections. However, this product does seem to STOP and SLOW aging in its tracks, at least for me. I work for several plastic surgeons, as well as dermatologists in the medical field and they will tell you this up front....Strivectin is an amazing product that they highly recommend as well as Kinerase. They all seem to agree on this fact. It was originally designed for stretch marks, but was found to make marked improvements in overall skin on the face. Now, this does happen to be a product that needs time and consistency to be most effective. I use this only twice a day and I have been using it now for 2 years consistently. So with that being said, it is excellent for your skin's protection from future damage, I love it and use it right on clean skin, then I use a serum, a moisturizer and then apply any makeup or tinted moisturizer I wish to use for the day. It is expensive, but it lasts forever and just remember it takes time and consistency to realize the benefits, but once you see that your skin seems to not be aging as fast as it was, you wil love it. Another tid-bit, most Marshalls and TJ Maxx carry the huge bottle for about $69 versus what you pay at cosmetic departments of $150 and up. — 1 year, 3 months ago
