well you can reduce them, try using bio oil or palmers cocoa butter but it takes a little while before you start to notice. And I was reading that one of the reasons we get stretchmarks is because our skin is too dry so those treatments I mentioned will help with that. But yeah I know there horrible!!! Theres other treatments available to like laser treatments and other stuff but that can cost quite a lot and you have to go back for more than one visit, but look in to it.

Goodluck!

I think that firming and toning creams are best, if you aren't a fan of something as drastic as surgery. But creams take a couple of weeks before seeing results so you'll have to be patient. Other than that, I don't know of any other way to get rid of them. Sorry =(

The cocoa butter concept is definitely the tried and true method. It works wonderfully! There are other things that you can do in addition to this including getting lightening creams that are often sold at black beauty stores. These creams work wonders at lightening spots, lines, scars, and the dreaded stretchmarks.

Exfolite the skin where you have stretch marks with a loofah (to get the blood circulating),then apply Vitamin E oil gel capsules (crack them open and apply where the stretchmarks are) do this after you shower and do daily. Shower with cocoa butter soap also. I have know idea if this works lol but am testing it out, I mean whats the worst that could happen? lol
