I've been using the Palmers stretch mark cream in the morning and then bio oil before bed and not had a mark so far! I'm 35+5 today 😊

I used bio oil throughout my pregnancy and didn't get any stretch marks. I forgot to use it at all after the birth but that didn't seem to matter. I'm 6 months postpartum now.

I was using Mustela one with my first and didn’t get any stretch marks. Also using with my current pregnancy.

Bio oil!

Ive accidentally done an experiment on myself by only putting it on my stomach, and not on my boobs or bum.

Im 38 weeks, ive got stretch marks on my boobs and bum and none on my stomach - I think its the bio oil!

I've used palmers stretch mark cream every night, no stretch marks yet at 38 weeks. Baby is 90th centile so not a small bump. I've heard it's more a genetic thing.

I alternate each evening between bio oil and palmers cocoa butter, put it on your boobs too if you would like them to be stretch mark free ! D
