How To Choose The Best Stretch Marks Cream

Do You Know That More Than 75% Of Those Who Bought Stretch Mark Creams Feel They've Been Cheated?

Most of the skin care products for stretch marks comes in the form of cream or gel. Some of them help to cover or hide them. You can even blend with them with the color of your skin to make them less obvious. Others try to minimize their appearance or prevent them from forming in the first place especially during pregnancy. Without any proper treatment, you may want to stay at home and become a hermit!.

Let us understand what it takes to treat stretch marks. As the skin loses its elasticity and functionality, you will get stretch marks each time the skin is pulled. They are tears within the deep layers of the skin. What you see are the scar tissues developed deep within the skin. They are permanent skin damage. You can't restore it with moisturizers, microdermabrasion, or collagen boosters. What you need are potent substances that can remove the scars and repair the damaged tissues.

Why Some Anti Stretch Mark Creams Fail To Get Rid Of These Horrible Scars?

• Most the stretch mark creams do not address the root of the problem. Some creams such as Kiehls help to moisturize the skin because the affected area is dry. As stretch marks are rooted deep within the skin, the supporting structure of the skin is compromised. No matter how much moisturizer you use, it still cannot repair the damage.
• Some popular stretch marks remover contain collagen and elastin. They stimulates the growth of new tissue. However, the collagen molecule is large. It cannot penetrate deep enough into the dermis on its own. If these active ingredients cannot dissipate within the affected skin, then the treatment is ineffective.
• Prescription derma creams containing Tretinoin or Retin A, may make fresh stretch marks disappear. However, they don't erase stretch marks completely. In addition, they are hopeless on old stretch marks.
• You may have heard of collagen booster. It uses synthetic chemicals to induce the production of collagen in your body. However, it fails to get rid of damaged or dead cells of old stretch marks. It probably works best on new stretch marks.

What Should The Best Stretch Mark Prevention Creams Consist Of?

Using creams for stretch marks are safer than going through a laser surgery. If you are shopping for over the counter anti stretch mark creams, check the ingredients. They should contain proven and 100% natural ingredients that can repair the damaged area and reduce the appearance of the scar. Some of the ingredients include

• advanced peptides
• helichrysum
• emu oil
• rose hip oil
• collagen
• elastin
• vitamin E
• cocoa or shea butters
• pure aloe vera

How Should The Cream For Stretch Mark Work

The cream should address the root of the problems such as

• Loss of elasticity and thickness of the skin
• Deep scar tissues
• Production of new cells

Therefore, the ingredients in the cream should

• shed off the dead tissues to allow new growth of cells.
• penetrate deep into the skin to repair the damage.
• promote the production of collagen and elastin for new skin to replace the damaged cells.
• moisturize the skin deeply for better handling of stretching pressure.
• restore the elasticity and thickness of the skin.

New skins are more elastic, supple, and firmer. Therefore, the marks will be less visible and less tearing in the skin will happen.

Other Factors To Consider When Buying Best Stretch Marks Cream

Don't you feel you skeptical with the plethora of advertisements, claiming that their products can get rid of these horrible scars permanently.  Here are some more tips to help you to decide which cream to buy when you visit a health store or drugstore.

• Check the guarantee. Some skin care products for stretch marks come with 60 to 90 days guarantee. You can test the product without monetary risk.
• Compare the prices. The market is full of hype. Certain creams are priced very high and they claim to be the best.
• Request for a free sample so that you can try to see if it is effective.
• If the stretch mark removal cream is that good, it should be able to treat other scars such as wrinkles, acne, rosacea, and keratosis pilaris.

• The cosmetic industry is self-regulated. This means that the Food & Drug Administration will only intervene when someone complain about the side effects or the structural change as the results from using the skin care products.  Therefore, their advertisements only mention "change the appearance of stretch marks or wrinkles". Usually, they  don't use the word "diminish" as this indicate there is a structural change.
