I've recently done quite a bit of research on the topic of: can creams really reduce the appearance of stretch marks. I had stretch marks prior to my daughter being born. Mine were so bad that I had a tummy tuck 25 years ago.
That same daughter recently had twins, and her abdomen is a mess of loose skin and stretch marks. I felt compelled to see if there might be a different solution for her, 25 years later.
As previously stated, the success of creams really lies in your skin genetics, the age of the stretch marks, and the composition of the cream. Certainly alot of variables. In an attempt to better understand what creams people are buying in 2012 and whether they help or not, I have compiled a list of the most popular stretch mark creams sold on Amazon with the number of reviews and the ratings of those reviews. You can find the list at the Analysis of Stretch Mark Cream such as Mederma Stretch Mark Therapy
