just wanna give you an update: i'm still using trilastin but the thing i'm really excited about is the jean wu method!! you can get it at stretchmarkcure.com. i tried it for the first time last night and WOW the marks on my left thigh are GONE!!! :D i'm sooo happy this is just in ONE NIGHT!! keep in mind though thw ones on my thighs are more so just ripples without much discoloration, but still! it worked that fast!! i can't wait till the rest go away! i strongly believe they will if i keep at it! TRY IT!! it's working for me! :D good luck
