Re: remedies for stretch marks - February 16th 2022, 12:33 PM

Stretch marks are a natural part of your body changing. Unfortunately, they are usually permanent, but they do fade over time (I've had and have lots of them I'm an expert) and there are some skincare remedies to try to prevent them or diminish the look once they appear. Creams with retinoids tend to be the most effective in reducing appearances of any type of dark spots. These are available by prescription and some options over the counter, but they tend to be a bit pricier. Alternatively, products that boost hydration of the area can help the skin stretch with less dark spots, so this can be used more preventatively. Here's an article that breaks down types that may be helpful. Good luck!
