Did you use stretch mark oils?

Did you use stretch mark oils/creams when you were pregnant or is it a complete waste of time?

Ive been doing it since about 20 weeks every day and i havent got any stretch marks yet at 34 weeks *hope im not tempting fate in saying this!*

I do my tummy, groins, breasts, hips, inner legs. Where else did you get stretch marks?

I bought it, then never used it. I never got stretchmarks though. I think it is genetic. Did your mom get them? I think if genetics isnt in your favor, you will get them no matter what cream or oil you use. Neither my mom, nor my sister, ever got them either.

I used dermamum cream thehole pregnancy. Im not sure if it was down to that but I have no stretchmarks at all.

I dont think my mum has them but my sister got them. I have some faded ones on my boobs and hips from previous gaining and losing weight.

I used bio oil morning and night every day from 12 weeks and STILL got stretch marks!

I must have spent a fortune on the stuff coz it ain't cheap. To make myself feel better I just keep telling myself that they might have been worse if I hadn't used it!

I used bio oil during my pregnancy and i didnt get any stretch marks. Not sure when i started but id used pretty much the whole bottle by the end of it

i used bio oil from week 12 and only got a couple on my hips in the last week- they are very pale though.
i did get some on my boobs but i didnt religiously oil those so not surprised!

I never used any, and didn't get any stretch marks. Even if you speak to a dermatologist they will tell you the same thing. If you are going to get them you will get them regardless of what products you put on.

I didn't get any, and i didn't use any creams. My mum didn't get them either so i do think it's genetic. But I do have pale stretchmarks elsewhere.

I put cream on morning and night and I am completely covered in stretch marks on my stomach, lady bits and thighs. I don't have any on my boobs which is my small saviour in all this!! Woo!! Lol my belly looks like I've been attacked by a tiger hence why I now call them "tiger stripes" xx
