I read plenty of reviews on Strivectin, it works great on some and it's useless on others. It's sorta a 50/50 thing.

I have a friend that uses it on her stretch marks on her tummy and fine lines on her face and says she's noticed some fading.

Hope it works for you.


Here are some prevention tips:

Selenium also preserves tissue elasticity; slows down the aging and hardening of tissues through oxidation

Following the anti-inflammatory lifestyle can help keep stretch marks at bay. Eating adequate amounts of high quality protein can help the skin repair itself. Cold water fish such as wild salmon, trout, halibut, sardines and mackerel are excellent choices, as they are high in anti-inflammatory omega-3 essential fatty acids. Drink plenty of water and make sure that you eat deeply colored fruits and vegetables for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties. I have also found that applying a topical alpha lipoic acid-DMAE combination to areas of the body prone to stretch mark development is very effective.

Zinc works with vitamin A in the production of collagen and elastin and can be found in oily fish, shellfish and wholegrain foods.
