Fade Stretch Marks! | Ingredients that WORK and the Science to Back it up

[@sadesade9628]

I'm having a headache of how much informative this video is! Thanks

[@nurse.practitioner]

evidence-based content, well organization, clear delineation; thanks for the informative video!

[@ajc4762]

I am so glad I found this channel! I’ve been following your recommendation for a week and my friends are already asking what I use on my skin. I also bought the 40% urea cream you recommended and in 1 day my KP was almost gone, it’s been a life long struggle and it was actually that easy to fix. Thank you!

[@lavureddy1728]

Hyy which cream u used for stretch marls

[@chiderasamuel9852]

Please which cream you use

[@stephaniehorne6692]

I love how so many of your videos include a bio, chem or anatomy lesson. Thank you so much!

[@Rayowag]

That's actually super interesting. They don't bother me in most places, but in some others they do, so knowing that this actually got studied with different types of products is pretty cool. I'm still shocked humanity hasn't figured out a way to fix/repair scar tissue (which this technically is). Would be cool to at least have a choice between getting rid of them and keeping them 😅

[@hrhsophiathefirst4060]

Ah yes this would have been good to know 30 years ago when at the age of 14 I shot up almost 5 inches in one year. I have stretch marks on my lower back, back of my arms at he shoulder and behind my knees. I find that keeping my skin taut with regular exercise minimized the appearance but I do apply Amlactin to my skin every day as well. Great video!

[@mariatomko4278]

Same for me at age 11 :(

[@noneofurbusiness5223]

I got them when was pregnant (5' ²", baby was 9 lbs!)

[@karenbrummond8507]

My daughter, too.

[@eu199]

same for me age 12, my back are full of stretch marks

[@Jennifer-vc6nt]

Same, I got mine when I was a kid and puberty…but no one ever teaches u how to treat it as a kid and if anyone did I also think kids would become self conscious or more self conscious.

[@Joannabanana1989]

I developed stretch marks in the hospital due to iv steroids. I went from 90-130 lbs overnight and I think my skin stretched in such a fast time that it was never able to recover. I have found that Paula’s Choice body retinol lotion has lightened mine considerably but I have learned to live with them.

[@kristamarie3856]

The same thing happened to me. I’m in my 20s so it’s hard to accept them rn. Hopefully I become more confident as time passes

[@mastercaillou4435]

Sameew I was 12

[@Joannabanana1989]

Krista Marie I am sorry that happened to you! I think the longer they are a part of you it gets easier. I was actually too sick to even notice them until years later (like 5-7 years!) but at this point, I am 32 so they have been here for 12 years. The retinol cream has somehow made them less white and more cream colored so they blend in better to my skin. I am never stopping it now that I know about retinols for body care. Master Caillou So sorry you suffered as well at such a young age. Make sure you do everything you can for your bones!

[@JenaTuckerAquariums]

Thank you for the information you have shared. I am of the belief that either you will get them or you won't. I got them at age 19 when I was pregnant with my first child. I had no idea what they were. I have hated my body since then. I am now 53. No one I knew had them. My mom and grandmother didn't. My two sisters don't. My sis-in-law doesn't. She had twins at age 36. They weighed 6-7 lbs each. She was huge. Not one stretch mark. I know other people that don't. Some people's skin elasticity is better than others. Maybe I will try some of this, but it still won't make them go away 😭.

[@rayajohnson7805]

this is me right now! i’m 19 and they are all of a sudden so deep and dark purple. none of the women in my immediate family have ever had one stretch mark and it’s very frustrating

[@inessenja]

Same here😢😭

[@chanilehmann4970]

Great video! Wish I knew about this after my last child was born 21 years ago! Can u do a video on Rosacia -would love to hear all about it and treatments

[@adamamacalou2283]

MINA ROE BELLY OIL is great at fading very old stretch marks...from more than 20 years ago. I'm on my 2nd bottle...my very thin stretch marks on my breasts are gone!!! Honestly it's a miracle...still working on the rest of my body

[@GlitteringStarsSky-xyz1kkkk]

I went to 3 doctors they all said stretch marks can't be completely removed and bring back to our earlier skin.It only gets faded 😢😢😢.Then how your stretch marks are completely gone.Plz be honest 😢😢

[@MajiEX]

We're they white stretch marks? Are you also white? I don't want to lighten my skin I just want my white stretch marks to go away 🥺🥺

[@Rwissam1987]

I have seen many videos on stretch marks, this one is by far the most helpful! Thank you!

[@michaelperry240]

Hello 👋 does the Vicks vapour rub and aloe Vera and cling film work?

[@baileydubs]

Perfect time for this! I’ve gotten a lot of stretch marks over the past year and they are very discouraging

[@db-gb5xi]

Always nice to see more doctor videos on stretch marks. Centella asiatica is definitely having its moment in skincare. Speaking of glycolic acid, would you also recommend the Alpha Skin Care products?

[@mahrokhshayanpour3165]

How often should you chemically exfoliate stretch marks? Once a week? How about physically exfoliating or dry brushing? Will this help or hurt stretch marks

[@narruto_uzumaki]

same question

[@972eleven]

The MOST helpful video ever!

My Stretch marks are really stubborn I just learned to live with it, 😃

[@cyndiapasillas1137]

Soooo grateful for finding your videos!!! 🙏

[@milano888]

Such a disappointment. Why the clickbait? The thumbnail shows white stretch marks and a misleading title; the topic is focused on the new red ones and has zero options or solutions for the white ones. Why even use that in your thumbnail?

[@valeriafuentes6799]

I'm glad I read this comment in time!

[@narruto_uzumaki]

for white stretch marks, i would suggest to go for dermarolling/microneedling or other derma options. none of the DIY recipes work for white stretch marks. i have been looking for years now.

[@aggroblu9753]

She very clearly talks about both of you actually pay attention

[@seraphicbeloved9489]

She specifically says retinol glycolic acid and vitamin c are good for the white stretch marks

[@milano888]

@@narruto_uzumaki Thank you for your suggestion, and I apologize for the delay. I just saw the comment. From the research I've done, unfortunately, none of the suggestions would work to remove or take away the marks. Maybe 20%, but nobody has successfully removed them or gone beyond 50% with micro or other superficial treatment, plus the time and years it takes, and the final result is not worth it. The only options are surgically removing them and making sure the doctor is good at concealing the residual scars. They should be as thin as possible, and I'd rather deal with a tiny scar than stretch marks. You can heal tiny new scars. Korean non touristy new clinics are the way to go just need to do more research on them.

[@ellsbells7116]

Could you please do a video about treatments for cellulite (if any)??

[@hijlaa]

I developed my stretch marks on my lower abdomen after having my IUD removed. No idea why, but I am actually not very upset about it. Not to say I won´t try to lighten them though lol. Thanks for the tips

How would you start using Trentinoin on stretch marks? Daily and with a lotion? Or by it self? How often?

Do you think using the ordinary glycolic 7% would do any good? I have it and it didn’t work on my face, but I don’t want to waste my time if it won’t help. My marks are in the in between stage, still not white, but fading color, and have indents in the skin

[@Naturallylofi]

It can be used as a very effective deodorant! And works well on your feet as a treatment. I’ve also seen it used for dry flaked scalps

[@michaelperry240]

Hello 👋 was wondering if you can help me ? I’m virtually death so can’t hear what she’s saying in the video can you recommend the absolute best combinations of creams or treatments to reduce the appearance of stretch marks please? And do you know if the Vicks vapour run with aloe Vera or Vaseline and cling film works?? Not sure what combination you mix together

[@ConservativeLatina86]

Dr. What about Differin instead of tretinoin?

[@papi_18]

I have stretch marks on my inner thigh area, on my butt, breast, hips, and even behind my knee lol the back of my leg they are white stretch marks which I’ve gotten through puberty because I grew quite fast they’re even e stretch marks and honestly they don’t bother me much the ones on my chest/breast are the only ones that make me insecure especially because I have a larger chest so if y’all have any tips to minimize those that would be helpful I recently also got 3 literally just 3 red stretch mark like below my stomach for example if I wear low rise jeans they wouldn’t be noticeable at all it’s like very low on my stomach like where my underwear covers although nobody else is seeing it I am I think I’m more insecure about those because they’re red and stand out more 😒

[@rosieo.6258]

iS clinical body complex has centella asiatica which is supposed to help with scarring. Mutha Body Butter worked for my daughter, she got them on her breasts when she became pregnant. Hers were still red when she started using the Mutha BB, she was ecstatic they were no longer visible days after using it. The price point for some of these creams is not ideal for many especially if you have to treat larger areas though.

[@noosiemasiema]

Can I use active ingredients for the stretch marks on my breasts?

[@emilyk.michael5961]

Would these products and techniques work on minimizing the apperance of scars?

Use onagra oil, grape seed oil Omega oil.

[@drmosaddegh]

So %0.05 Tretinoin for stretch marks? I wish you went more in detail about the percentage. Should it be mixed with Ascorbic acid and Glycolic acid like the study???

[@mygoodeyeclosedCC]

Eyeroll. I’m gonna need MD’s speaking about this topic to stop assuming stretch marks are only ever red when they depress the skin. You can split videos between red and white or other color stretch marks and speak on the efficacy of treatments by appearance of the marks. You can also trust that frustrated, affected people don’t need a breakdown of the cause of stretch marks. We just want to know what will effin work.

[@pjsvenssonthoren8565]

Hi, can you do one on scars(keloids i think it is called the one I cannot find treatment to) if you have any ideas available🙏🏻❤️

Hi, I am male dealing with rosacea redness on my nose, cheeks and beard/mustache areas. Can I use a vascular laser for this redness without destroying my hair follicle??? I don't want to loose my facial hair. No one seems to address this issue for men. Could you please make a video explaining and recommending a laser for this.

[@ceciliecerise]

Maybe try posting this comment on Reddit forums related to skin care and hopefully someone can help!

[@MissRayneNerdiiChicK]

I don't know about lasers(sorry), but what I can say is that rosacea is an external sign that something is going on internally. It could be a number of things: hormone imbalances, vitamin deficiencies, food intolerances, an immuno response, leaky gut/candida(extremely common) etc. You should look into getting tests done(with a naturopath doctor). Another bonus is to try(you'd have to make sure you are healthy enough) water fasting. Water fasting is SOOOOO beneficial for all kinds of healing(do the research, you'd be shocked). You may also want to look into the GAPS diet as well, if it turns out your gut is compromised.
