    lotion with cocoa butter typically helps. Takes a while, but it helps

    shea butter is VERY good for fading marks. I recommend getting 100% unrefined shea butter. Its not only great for skin and stretch marks it also is good for lips and hair if you've got dry hair...

    also if you're going to use cocoa butter buy a product that is mostly cocoa butter or it wont do much at all. also work on losing the weight..

    You won't be able to actually get rid of them...however, they will fade over time and instead of red or pink, they will become a silvery shade, not very noticable, but you will still be able to see the "mark" where it was depending on how deep the stretch marks were.

    no, they never will go completely away, and don't think it's the weight that caused them, you inherit the genes from your parents that either cause you to have them or not.

    I think I've read grapefruit is good for this cuz it's really rich in the enzyme bromelain. Theres a book out there called "eating for beauty" by David Wolfe that you may wanna read. You can get it @ rawfood.com or cheap on amazon.com

    Shea butter, and vitamin E cream are pretty good for this type of thing.
