Great moisturizer!

This is just THE best moisturizer! It runs about as much as the Body Cream at Bath and Body Works (Palmer's is about half the size and just under $6) but I think it actually works better. When I wake up in the morning, I touch the areas and they are so soft and creamy smooth. As far as the stretch marks, I am doubtful. I did buy for some stretch marks I have in odd areas (shoulders and inside of e...read morelbow), but it has been proven time and time again that these are "scars" and cannot really disappear from this type of product. We will see! I thought I'd give it a shot and move my way up the dollar chain if not. Hoping not to have to spend a ton on laser treatments! If it works for me, I will come back and edit my review.

Eh

It moisturizes but doesn't not help with stretch marks. Stretch marks are tears/scars in the inner most layer of the skin called the dermis. There is no way lotion/oil is able to penetrate the skin that deep to repair damages. I've used this for a while and there is NO difference.

pretty good

I have a slightly different one with a pump, and it says lotion instead of cream but I couldn't find that one so I guess they may be the same in different packaging. Anyway I used this everyday during and after both of my pregnancies and the only place I ended up getting some small stretch marks was around my belly button piercing. They are small, and were a little purple. I continued to apply t...read morehis post partum and the stretch marks didn't go away but they faded almost matching my skin color, and are barely noticeable unless you look closely. So this didn't completely prevent me from getting some small stretch marks, But since the only place I got stretch marks was around the belly piercing, maybe the actual piercing has something to do with that. I'm not sure but over all its very good, it doesn't stop ALL stretch marks from appearing but most.. and it does a good job of fading them.

works great!

The bottle I have looks slightly different and its called message lotion for strech marks but I'm gonna assume its the same thing. I'm 20 years old and I used this product during my pregnancy and after nursing for 10 1/2 months. I got strech marks on my hips and my breasts both of which are disappearing. After nursing I thought I would stuck with them forever but after about 3 weeks of using this ...read morethey are hardly noticeable and the skin seems to be getting firmer which is a definite plus. I also used the cocoa body oil after showers during my pregnancy and now I use the cocoa butter lotion after every shower and they work great too! I defnitely recomment it! ( I wish it smell like the body lotion!)

Very nice! Confidence boosting.

I am seventeen years old and i got stretch marks on my breasts, stomach, upper arms, hips and the inside of my knees and thighs from rapid weight gained. I gained almost thirty pounds in one year. I have now lost most of that weight and this product has really helped smooth my stretch marks and has even helped them to fade. I'm very pleased with this product! I can now wear tank tops and shorts! Great stuff!

Works good, smells awful

I have some stretch marks and minor loose skin from weight gain/loss. This moisturizes very well and actually firms and helps stretch mark becomes less noticeable. I love it, but it can be a tad bit greasy and the smell is awful. It smells medicinal, almost like plastic. If you can get past the smell, it works pretty good.
