Hello. I was wondering if anybody is using or has used this product for stretch marks. This was recommended to me by a doctor, but I've been researching the product and it is expensive. $135 for only 6 oz is a little bit expensive (but not as expensive as professional microdermabrasion or laser treatments). I want to know if it is worth it. Thanks in advance.

You can get it cheaper than that price for around $85.00...which is still very steep. I personally couldn't keep up with the usage directions. I can't say it didn't work since I didn't follow through. I did try to use it twice a day for about 2 months....I didn't see any noticable improvements. From what I understand it takes a long, long time to show some improvements, somewhere along the lines of 6 plus months or so. Don't be fooled into thinking they will disappear, they don't.
If I remember, it said to use it 3 times a day. Kind of hard when you are at work or running about. I think you had to let it dry before putting your clothing on...or something like that that I thought was ridiculous unless you were at home.
I haven't heard great things about it for stretch marks. I'm sure you can search the internet for opinions.

Please check out this link for some reviews by real people. I believe the consensus is that it isn't worth the money. I have heard that at home chemical peels can help stretch marks, but any peel that strong is usually too dangerous to use at home

Thank you for the replies. After reading the reviews on this product I'm not going to buy it any time soon. The doctor's exact words were: "you have a couple of options, microdermabrasion being one of them. Some of my patients are using a cream called strivectin that is supposedly for stretch marks. You might want to try it to see if it works for you if the treatments sound too drastic". Um, after reading that I'm not going to fall for it. I'll get an appointment with a dermatologist before it gets worse. Ugh I hate this thoughx( . I work out hard, I eat well, I take my vitamins and this is what is happening (aging maybe?) . To make it worse my SO was the one that noticed. He said it wasn't a big deal...I don't know... it is to me I guess. Thanks again.
