stretch marks with before + after pics UPDATE week 5

[charlotteheys85]

Retin A
this is normally used for acne, but after doing alot of research online, there has been studies done to test wether or not it works on stretch marks,

it basically thins the skin, allowing the cream get into the layers of ur skin to help produce more collagen to heal them.

you need Tretinoin 0.5 or 0.1 depending how sensitive skin is.

Nothing will get rid of them, but this helps them when still red/purple.. xx

Would you be able to use that while breastfeeding? I've got horrendous stretch marks and I'm not looking for a miricle cure but it would be nice to be able to reduce the scarring

This is a pic before i started using the Retin A..

These are two pics of 2weeks of using the Cream.. My skin looks red, this is due to the peel effect it has.. it doesnt hurt, its slightly itchy, but not bad atall...

excuse the Mummy Belly, i'll work on that next lol.. one thing at a time..

they say you have to be using the Cream 6weeks before it had a major effect.. the pics might not reflect it well, but i can def notice a diff.. lets hope i've descovered somethin hehe xx

lol i use it on my blackheads on nose and chin.. yuk i nkow, but really works!

my skin is red, looks irratated, i hope its not the red hiding the stretchies lol.. gna give it another 4weeks, then the redness will fade, apparently the red is a good sign the blood is going to area, and more production of collagen to help heal them xxx

 

[lea m]

Im gonna see the doc soon heehee
