Does Vitamin E oil help fade stretch marks?

[Mama Poot]

Because I bought some and remembered hearing that it helps scars and stretch marks. Is this true? What else can I use it for?

I am told it does.

As well as Shea/Cocoa Butter, but vitamin E is highly recommended for scars regarding burns - so I would imagine they could help fade those silvery mother lines.




I am far beyond salvaging my elastic skin.
I've accepted that these are going to be apart of the rest of my life - and I'd like to think that every single woman who has ever even thought of having a child is strucken down by the stretch mark virus, and I'm not the only one.

LOL! I know they aren't going to fade completely, but I'd at least like the pinkish red ones to turn silvery! Probably kinda nuts considering I'm not done having children My tummy is for the most part flat, so I wouldn't mind wearing a 2-piece bathing suit, the marks are just a little too conspicuous for my taste right now. Oh well we'll see what happens!

I wouldn't waste my money. Really, time is the only thing which helps. BTDT.

The Palmer's cocoa butter with vitamin E is great for stretch marks. You may also want to use apple cider vinegar as an alpha-hydroxy. Alpha hydroxies are typically used to soften the raised pinkness of stretch marks - but they cost a lot at pharmacies - apple cider vinegar is a cheap natural one!

The combination of both should be great!
