  • Stretch marks are a normal part of growing for many men and women. They can occur during puberty, pregnancy, or rapid muscle or weight gain. Stretch marks are not likely to go away on their own. However, there are ways that you can lessen their appearance.

    How do you prevent stretch marks during puberty?

  • Bio oil maybe. But I think it’s best to ask a pharmacist or GP.


  • Any vitamin e cream you can get a hold of works wonders I find.


  • Bio oil is pretty safe and it’s worked wonders on my scar tissue.


  • Bio Oil. But not sure if there is much you can do.


  • Try Bio Oil or any body oil to help with them


  • Vitamin e creams and bio oil were the in thing to help reduce stretch marks. Things may have changed, but they were the recommendations during pregnancy.


  • Vitamin E Cream is always our go to product for so many things.


  • Although nothing actually rids you of stretch marks, I highly recommend Bio Oil. I used it throughout pregnancy and never got one new stretch mark. It’s lightly scented, easy to apply and keeps your skin well moisturised.


  • I used bio- oil when pregnant and it worked miracles. I’m 30 years old and my belly was huge and it helped so much.


  • I found that Palmers Cocoa Butter helped smooth out my stretch marks


  • Coconut oil! It’s organic and easy to find.


  • Bio oil is the most known but I would help a look at this he smaller companies around like melvory, willow by the sea.
    The stretch marks may eventually fade though


  • Yes I would recommend bio oil as well


  • I have heard bio oil can work for stretch marks
