Just to end this topic for real...

There is no oil -- no cream -- no pill to get rid of pre-existing stretch marks. If there was such a thing, your dermatologists and plastic surgeons would be all over it.

If anybody on ebay or store is trying to sell you a super cream claiming it will, they are con artists. Don't buy it.

Stretch marks are over-stretched skin layer (more specifically the dermis layer, underneath the epidermis) that broke open and became "scar lines." It will never go back to "regular" skin again.

Whenever you violate the dermis layer, it'll create a scar. That's why we are careful to stay within the (superficial) epidermis layer of skin when we are shaving off skin tags, warts, callouses etc.
