Stretch Marks

I'm 110 lbs (5"6) and i have stretch marks! Is there anyway to make them go away or reduce them or will it stay a scar forever? I've just started using some cocoa butter like my friend suggested.

cocoa butter works and so does Mederma..but you have to be very consistent with it...three times a day usually for a couple months...depending how deep and dark they are.

Should i just use one of them at a time or can i use both?

well the mederma almost forms like a 2nd skin..

I actually think using one or the other is the best approach...but the cocoa butter might be cheaper and easier.

There's also another cream I just thought about that I used after having my daughters...it's called albolene...that's similar to cocoa butter...choose one treatment and go with it..but like I said be consistent...they will fade in time...I can still feel mine to some degree but you can't see them..
