Hum that is odd, from what I've read other people have had very good experiences with using coconut oil for that...You might try ozonated olive oil, I have read it is absolutely wonderful for both. I am looking to buy me some at http://www.aloeessence.com/ It is in the skin products section and is called Nature's Gift. I spoke with the owner of the company, she said a friend of hers used it on her 9 year old stretch marks and now they are gone. That is actually what I intend on trying it on is my terrible stretch marks, I'll let ya'll know the results. :)
