I was 95lbs before I got pregnant and gained weight up to 150 lbs. I thought that because I was so small it would not make a difference with stretch marks.. I mean I never had them before why would I get them now? Wrong. I ended up with marks all over. I did not know what to do or which product to turn to. After reviewing hundreds of products I decided to try Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy. At first I thought it was a joke. But after a month went by I noticed the marks lightened a bit.. and within I think 13 weeks or so they had lightened A LOT. I never share stories online, but I am so happy with the way I look now compared to what I looked like before, because of this product. :)

"After having my first child, I ended up getting stretch marks on my inner thighs, hips, and buttocks. I put lotion on my belly the entire time I was pregnant but never thought to put it on these other areas. Being only 21 years old, like any young woman I want to be able to wear my swimsuit with pride. I tried all the expensive creams, cocoa butter, oils, everything. Then I saw that Mederma® was coming out with a product for stretch marks. I was so excited because Mederma® is the most trusted scar product brand out there. I’m on my first bottle and only been using this stuff for about a week and let me tell you this stuff is heaven sent! My inner thighs had really deep striae and my stretch marks on my hips were very dark. I can barely see some of the smaller stretch marks now, and already seeing improvement of my stretch marks between my thighs. I am so happy I found this stuff in the nick of time, right before I have to start wearing a bikini! Definitely use a generous amount of the stuff and rub for about ten minutes; it’s kind of like a “self therapy” treatment. Thanks Mederma®, can’t wait for the full results! Will put up a picture when my 12 weeks are up!"

"I’m 20 years old and ever since I was told not to run due to feet complications I gained a lot of weight. About 2 1/2 months ago, a friend of mine became a personal trainer. I thought to myself that it was the perfect opportunity to get my health back together. At 160lbs, I had stretch marks all over. I couldn't wear shorts because I had stretch marks all on my inner thighs and down onto my calves. While I worked on losing weight I used Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy, thinking the combination of weight loss and using Mederma® would make my stretch marks fade, and guess what...IT DID!! I’m so happy that I can finally wear shorts and feel comfortable in a bikini. But I’m speaking from experience, if you have the same problem I did, trust me, you won't regret it! I love Mederma®. They saved me. I’ve gained back all my confidence!! Alyssa"

"I have to say I was very skeptical about trying Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy. You always see commercials claiming that something works then you come to find out that it doesn't. Well, I was desperate after my pregnancy. I developed AWFUL stretch marks down my legs and thighs. I have been using this product for almost 5 weeks now and my stretch marks have faded so much. I can’t even imagine how great my legs will look after the full 12 week period! I was so self conscious and depressed because I thought my legs would never look good again, but now I have hope and I’m getting my confidence back! Thanks Mederma®!"

“At age 19, I was still wearing training bras, so I decided to treat myself to some breast implants. I was so excited, until about 3 weeks later, when they were covered in stretch marks! I was mortified! Now I was more embarrassed than ever to wear a swimsuit or a dress that had a deep V-neck. I tried Mederma® and started to notice results in about a month. Now it's been 6 months, and I am fearless in what I wear! I can't express how happy I am with Mederma® — a must for stretch marks!”

I am a young woman who has always suffered from stretch marks. They were everywhere, my arms, legs, stomach and back. I don’t have any children and I’m not a very large woman. They have always made me feel like I need to cover up my body. I had suffered from them since I was a teenager. Then in my mid twenties I was relieved to hear about Mederma®’s stretch mark cream. I have been using it for about 4 weeks now and I am seeing fading and evening."

I was skeptical about Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy at first, because I didn't think a lotion could make a significant difference. But I am a believer now! My stretch marks are so reduced that they are barely noticeable. I was so happy with the results. I have seen a reduction in discoloration, an improvement in texture, and my skin is softer. I was surprised to see results so quickly. After just a few weeks, my stretch marks already appeared reduced. I would definitely recommend it because of the results I have seen.

When I was a teenager I had a very bad eating disorder.. So I lost a great amount of weight. When I finally started eating normal again I gained a lot of weight in a short period of time. Therefore I got stretch marks on the middle area of my stomach. I tried almost everything you could think of. Everyone kept telling me to use Cocoa Butter, but that never worked. But the Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy really has helped my stretch marks be less noticeable. I have to look very closely to actually see them. I will continue to keep using this product because it is actually helping me. I am thankful.:‐)

"My girlfriend has 3 dachshunds and I was playing with the youngest while I was visiting her. Never in a million years did I think that I would get bit by my friend’s dog, but I did. I was rolling a ball to the youngest dog and the ball got stuck under a chair and when I bent down to get it I was on my knees. I turned around and the middle dog bit me on the lips. Well I got 9 stitches from that little dog around my upper lip and under my nose. I started using Mederma® after the stitches were removed and I have been using it for 8 weeks and the results are great."

"Ever since I was a young teenager I wanted a fuller chest. I was tired of my figure being described as boyish, not to mention I had a breast deformity that only made me more uncomfortable. So I finally took the plunge and got a breast augmentation. I am so happy with the results but the only thing that kept me from being completely happy was a few stretch marks that popped up about a month after the surgery. I started researching creams and therapies to use on them and just kept coming up short. Then one day, I saw a commercial for Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy and just knew that it was going to be worth trying. After about three weeks I really started to see them smooth and lighten up. I'm at the ten week mark now and I can't believe the difference. The texture of the stretch marks has smoothed over . . The color has gone from that dark red-ish purple to just a few shades away from my skin tone and I am very fair skinned. It really isn't another so called miracle cream. It works. It has helped turn this whole body transformation into something beautiful for me."

I have just been using Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy for a short time, I am faithfully using it as directed, and I can say that it is doing its magic. I am so happy that I will be able to go to the beach soon and not be so insecure because of the stretch marks I've gotten over a period of time due to weight gain & loss. They are less visible. Yes, I think that it is worth in investing in Mederma®.

I've been avoiding bathing suits and the beach ever since I got stretch marks. I think my embarrassment over my stretch marks contributed to my gaining a lot of weight... Because what difference would it make if I were slender? I still would be ashamed of my body. I wasn't sure if anything could improve them. So, to test the product I applied the cream to only the right half of my stomach and my right breast. Just to make sure there was no false difference in appearance, I put regular moisturizer on the left half of my stomach and left breast. After a few weeks On day 25, I could see a visible difference between the right and the left side. Now I am applying Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy to both sides. Can't wait to see the difference by the end of 12 weeks! The best part is that my skin is SMOOTHER. Thanks.

At 21 I was cursed with a stomach full of stretch marks. I was afraid to show my stomach and wear certain clothing. I felt ugly. I tried lotions and cream, but nothing worked. Finally, I saw an ad for Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy and fell in love instantly. I can say it truly works. I love it. Thank you, Mederma®. Now I can have more confidence looking at myself in the mirror.
