I was reading about this product on another forum and the person writing said it had really worked for them.
My tummy is a depressing mess of stretchmarks despite daily bio-oiling during and post-pregnancy, so I'm keen for anything that will actually work!
Its being sold on trademe, and I'm trying to decide if I'm depressed enough about them to pay $49.95...
Anyone tried it, or got any other suggestions of miracle cures??

What are you hoping for it to do? It might fade them but it won't make them disappear. Once they are faded a tan fake or real covers them up quite well

Apparently it works like microdermabrasion, to remove the stretched out layers of skin.
I'm torn between my usual cynical opinion of everything that is supposed to work wonders, and my desperation to lose the stretchies. Thats why I was hoping for some more endorsements from people on here

Hi, try the $10 trial pots that she sells, it lasts about a week. But will give you some idea of whether or not you want to go ahead. I have used it and have had some degree of success. i gave up though as it's quite time consuming. You have to have 10 minutes everyday to do it. Which with three kids isn't practical for me. I have heard some great things about it though. Ps it will make your skin feel wonderful, as you can use the same stuff on your face. hope this helps.

I have read (and I can't remember where so don't quote me on this) that stretch marks aren't actually in the top layer of skin, so therefore anything you put on them externally isn't going to make any difference.

I had wicked stretch marks after Maya but they faded to the point where the lady doing my U/S with the twins commented how lucky I am not to have any. And I was way too lazy to put anything on them.

Oh and as soon as the u/s lady said that, I started getting lovely new purple stripes, so now I have another complete set
