Vitamin E oil, cream, gel (pain, infections, skin, vitamins)

[Ronzou]

Okay I've been reading and reading about ways to get rid of stretch marks, people don't like to admit they have them, but what other way can I figure out how to make them fade.

I've been reading and a lot of people say Vitamin E oil will help. I bought Vitamin E soft gels... Yeah what a pain it is to pop those and get them on my skin...

So I'm wondering has anyone ever seen, Vitamin E oils, gels, or creams in stores?

you can buy it in oil form at most drugstores or vitamin/health stores but take it internally as well ,400 iu a day with A and zinc.....great for skin and fighting infections.

Thank you! I've started taking multivitamins as well to help with the lack of zinc, vitamin A and E.

I'm really hoping that it will help. Thank you for the answer!

Stretch marks will go away with Mederma. I have used it and it works. You can buy it at WalMart. Its primary use is for scars but it is excellent for stretchmarks. You have to use it at least 2x day, 3x day is better.

I should clarify.......50 mg of zinc, with food or you may get a tummy ache.

I would get Mederma, but it's 25 dollars, that's out of my price range by a long shot.

I take my vitamins at dinner/supper/whatever you want to call it.

Mederma is made with onions (for sulfur) and wax. it is a temporary fix anyway. Not worth the money.

Mine fade when I go tanning.
Then it fades away and they come back. I suppose I should start using vitamin e too.
I use body wash that has cocoa butter and vitamin e in it.. I guess that SHOULD help. I need to loose the weight first though

This is going to sound funny, but look in the baby section. There are some companies that sell special creams to expectant mothers to get rid of stretch marks. Some people swear by cocoa butter.

Actually one thing I read talked about baby lotion would help.

I read a plethora of things and I'm going to try the Vitamin E oil first.

Depending if that works or not I guess I'll move on to the next home remedy.

I would get the special mederma creams, but they are about 25-27 + dollars here depending on where you go. I don't have that kind of money.
