Experts called the cosmetic product completely pointless

Stretch marks can occur for a number of reasons. These are weight fluctuations, pregnancy, genetics, exercise. Stretch marks, called stretch marks in the medical community, can affect up to 90 percent of people, according to the Sohag Medical Journal. Each stretch mark is a scar formed at the site of a rupture of the collagen fibers of the skin. Unfortunately, no cosmetic product can get rid of them.

“In my experience, there are no creams that would eliminate stretch marks,” says Oleksandr Zuriarrain, MD, plastic surgeon. “There's also no scientific evidence that any stretch mark cream works.”

Is there an exception to this rule? Yes, but we are talking about prescription creams and gels that must be prescribed by a dermatologist. And even in this case, you should not wait for the complete disappearance of stretch marks. Stretch marks will only get smaller.

The best way to avoid stretch marks is to prevent them. Regular moisturizing of the skin helps in this. Enrizza P. Factor, a dermatologist, notes that there are no creams or oils that have been proven effective in preventing stretch marks.

However, maintaining skin elasticity is beneficial in reducing the risk. Moisturizing the skin will also relieve the itchiness caused by stretching. The doctor recommends using an oil, cream or gel containing hyaluronic acid twice a day.
