Retin-A for Stretch Marks

[MaxBiceps]

Someone on this board recommended using Retin-A to help get rid of stretch marks, and lo and behold I got ahold of a tube. Anyone know anything about this subject? I'm gonna use it like it says on the box (2-3 times a week) for my stretchies. keep you guys posted.

I thought they took that shit iff the market , I knew a girl that used it on her face for acne and she has permanent scaring from it. The best way to treat your strech marks is to start using a good moisterizer on them every day to let the skin strech without seperating
and causing the marks. I don't know of any way to get rid of them but this helps to prevent.

vitamin-e oil works great to prevent them but not to cure them..sorry.

I will go against the rest of the replies and say it works great! Use retin-a on your existing marks at night, and then during the day, your stretch mark prone (and existing) areas moisturized with a vit. E lotion. That routine and a decent tan will cover them up as much as possible w/o surgery! Let me know what you think...

retin-a is used to treat wrinkles, and is good for killing stretch marks.

be carefull if you tan. The retin A makes your skin alot more sensitive.
