Where do you find Vitamin E oil?

[goldilocks]

well if not in a regualr drugstore, you could find it in a health food store, but i bought mine at walgreens or target, and k-mart has it too, and if you can't find it in just the oil form you can use the capsules that you swallow, just crack it open and spread it on :smile
hope that helps

i got my first stretch mark at the age of 11 on my inner thigh and i wasnt even overweight now that ive had my daughter i am covered in them i use a cream from avon its called avon body re-fine stretch mark smoother and i find that it has reduced the appearance of my stretch marks dramatically

Hey there. I have stretch marks as well. Got them as a teenager; and am now 32. They have long since turned white, so I am not sure that anything would work for them. But as long as i lose my extra weight and 6-8 inches from my waist, I couldn't care less.

The reason for my post is to tell you about a cream called strivectin. It is expensive as ****, but is supposed to be the most effective thing to reduce the size, appearance, etc. of stretch marks. Some one on the curezone.com forums also recommended ozonated olive oil. I have never tried any thing on mine, so I cannot vouvh for any of the creams/treatments out there.

I would imagine that everyboy is right, that everybody has them. I remember seeing them on most of my budies in PE in high school.

Good luck, babe!

Okay - this is going to sound like the start of a joke, so bear with me...

I was *SO* fat, that I have stretch marks on the insides of my elbows...now _that's_ some abuse.

I once went to donate blood, and the phlebotomist rolled up my sleeve, looked down, ran her hand over these "scars" and then pulled a Sr. phlebotomist over because she thought they looked like TRACKMARKS...so being a big smarty pants, I said, "Stretch marks, track marks, it's all good..." I bet they pulled and stretched my skin 15 times before they decided that they'd take a chance on my drug free blood.

It was crazy.

So I don't worry about stretch marks - and I'm not going to until I'm sitting in some plastic surgeon's office.

Like the other posters said, I don't know any woman in America that doesn't have some sort of stretch mark...somewhere, from some growth spurt...self induced or Mother Nature induced.

well i know ive heard that vitamin e does help and as for wanting to wear more revealing clothing there are some companys that now have a new new airbrushing makeup and you spray it on. im not sure how much it costs or what companys make it but if you spray it on say your stomach im sure it will help. i remember when i was a teen i was in fairly good shape and also had stretch marks and id use regular foundation and it worked pretty good. i used it on my belly mostly
