FAQs
Do stretch mark creams and oils remove stretch marks?
These products help moisturise skin and may improve appearance over time, but results vary and complete removal is not guaranteed. Regular application of a suitable product is key to seeing benefits.
When should I start using stretch mark products?
Many start when skin begins to stretch, such as during pregnancy, growth spurts, or weight changes. Daily moisturising and gentle massage can safely be included in your routine.
Are stretch mark products safe during pregnancy?
Some products are designed for pregnancy, but always read labels carefully. If unsure, consult a pharmacist, midwife, or GP.
How long does it take to see a difference?
Results vary. Newer marks may respond more noticeably, while older marks may change subtly. Evaluate improvements after several weeks of consistent use.
Which format is best: oil, cream, lotion, or silicone gel?
Choice depends on preference and application area. Oils suit massage, lotions cover larger areas, creams are richer, and silicone gels target specific areas effectively.
Can I use these products on sensitive or irritated skin?
Avoid fragranced or active products on broken, irritated, or rash-prone skin. Choose gentle formulas and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Important: Stretch marks are common and usually harmless. These products support skin comfort but are not medicines. For severe itching, rapid skin changes, infection signs, or any concerns, consult a pharmacist, NHS 111, or GP.
