Stretch-marks is basically caused when body changes/grows at a faster rate than it can keep up with thereby leading to tearing of epidermis or surface of skin.It can appear near tummy, hands, legs etc. Stretch-marks usually appear on the onset of Puberty, Weight fluctuations, Pre/Post Pregnancy, Body Building,Hormonal Changes etc. Stretch-marks is something I have dealt with and it is a common skin issue seen in Men and Women.

Pro’s:
1)It contains Vitamin E,Cocoa Butter,Elastin and Shea Butter and Bioelast-Collagen,Elastin,Sweet Almond Oil,Argan Oil,Centella Asiatica extracts (Brahmi) which is a powerful formula targeted towards Stretch-marks.
2)As you can see from the Swatches,it is a cream based product which is easy to apply.
3)It comes in a hygienic pump bottle so only required quantity comes out and easier to apply.
4)It definitely lightens Stretch-marks over few weeks.
5)Paraben-free.
6)Because of the all the presence of oils and butters,it doubles as moisturiser also for the body.
7)This is can used on the entire body except face.
8)It might seem bit pricey but one bottle will last nearly two months,so worth the price.
Con’s:
1)It has very sweet and overpowering fragrance which I do not like.
2)It is comedogenic so remember to wash your hands after application.Because if you don’t,you just might end up getting a pimple when you touch your face.
Directions for Use:
Just take a pump of the cream,apply on the desired area and massage it for a few minutes.
Final Verdict:
I have tried many other creams from VLCC and other brands but sadly did nothing. Then I decided try this and I would say so far this is only product which helped with Stretch-marks.I used for about 3 months and they have faded significantly,almost nil.
P.S:This product is not only for for nursing mothers,it works for anybody.
