I started using Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy after I had my baby girl. Six months later I decided to look back at my before photos and all I can say is, “Wow!” I am at a loss for words! I honestly didn't think it was helping me out so much, but it is. It hasn't been instant, but it is happening. If I hadn’t used Mederma® it wouldn’t look as good as it does now. Be persistent because IT WORKS! Thank you Mederma®!

When I was a child I struggled with eczema and took steroids to help with it, but I gained weight, which caused stretch marks on my breasts and upper thighs. I didn't want to be tainted with stretch marks my entire life. I tried everything – cocoa butter, home remedies – nothing worked. Then I found out about Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy. I can barely see my stretch marks anymore. I'm so relieved that I don't have the burden of stretch marks forever on my back. Thank you so much Mederma®!

I had a lot of stretch marks from pregnancy. Then from gaining weight. I lost all the weight and then had a tummy tuck. Although most of my stretch marks were gone I still had quite a bit. My plastic surgeon said, “use Mederma®”. I was very skeptical but she said, “just try it.” So I did and I love the results. I feel so good that I can’t stop looking to make sure they don’t come back. I show everyone… Thank you 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.

I just had my baby 2 months ago and I never thought I would get stretch marks because almost during my whole pregnancy I didn't get any, until that last month hit. I started to notice that I was getting dark purple ones on my sides and mid stomach and I never scratched. I tried oils and not much changed. I bought Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy 4 weeks ago and man I love it. It's a life saver. It's really working and because of that, I feel good again. I'm not worrying if my shirt lifts up or not. In my opinion, there is no doubt this is the best treatment for stretch marks.

After I had my son my stretch marks were deep, purple, and all over the place. After my husband left for Iraq I set a few personal goals: to drop my pregnancy weight and minimize my stretch marks. Once I dropped my weight however, my stretch marks became even more noticeable. I tried many different products and even talked to a doctor about getting a tummy tuck. Then I saw a commercial for Mederma®'s Stretch Marks Therapy. I went out the next day and bought a bottle. It's been a month now and I am thrilled at how well it's been working. My stretch marks are less noticeable. I can't wait until my husband comes home next month to see his new confident wife. Thanks Mederma®!

I had my baby boy when I was 20 years old. I am now 21 years old. When I was pregnant I gained 45 lbs. I have lost all my baby weight and more. However, to go along with my perfect, in-shape body, I have UGLY stretch marks on my hips, legs, and belly. Only being 21 I didn’t use lotion or any creams while pregnant. I started getting my stretch marks when I was 7 months pregnant and didn’t care at the time, till now. Well I used everything in the book, oils, butters, I used it all, I used them for 3 months and didn’t see a change. I saw Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy at the drug store and gave it a try. It was more expensive than some other products, but if it did the trick then I didn’t care. I have been using Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy for 3 weeks now, and I LOVE IT! OH MY GOD!! It works. I can see such a change in the color of my stretch marks and the way they feel. Give this stuff a try. Don’t give up if you don’t see change right away. Everything takes time. Nothing happens overnight.

"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"

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.:‐)

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 was prepared to submit my story after the full three months of using Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy, but I couldn't wait! I have been using Mederma® since Dec. 1, 2011 and the results have more than exceeded my expectations. I know it sounds strange, but I felt a softening of the stretch marks on my left arm after a very short time. I took pictures before I started and I cannot wait to hit the three-month mark so I can share my success story. Truly, it is so wonderful to find a product that actually works and to be writing my story instead of reading about someone else and their story. Thank you and I look forward to posting my visual results.

From middle school to high school I struggled with seeing myself as "beautiful." I hated my body so much that I hardly ever ate, 1-2 meals a day if I was lucky. Sometimes none at all. I never got anywhere dangerous, but I was somewhere around 120lbs in high school, which is about -20 of my natural body weight. Anyway, when I got to my sophomore year, I began eating regularly and living a normal life. Slowly but surely I started to pack on the pounds. By the time I was 18, I was a shocking 183 pounds!! Highest I've ever been. Laziness, the comfort my boyfriend and I have with each other, lack of exercise and never cooking a fresh-balanced meal are to blame. I have stretch marks on my upper breasts, sides of hips, under arms, lower tummy, and inner thighs. Now that I am down to a healthy 139, I couldn't bear to be caught in a swimsuit. I saw commercials on TV for Mederma® and began using it on all my stretch marks. The ones on my chest have gone from purple to the color of my skin and have become less prominent. The ones on my midsection are hardly noticeable, and the ones on my thighs are beginning to lighten!! I have been using Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy for 2.5 months and highly recommend this product!! I was able to lose weight with my diet and exercise, and Mederma® has restored the confidence I have in my image. Thank you! :)

I am 19 years old. I got stretch marks when I was ten years old, but I have only been using Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy for about 3 weeks. I have already seen improvement. I can’t wait to see how it’s going to turn out after 4 months. I love this stuff and it smells good. I Recommend it. Great product.

I started noticing random stretch marks on my breasts one day and I didn't think much of them, nor did I even consider them actually being stretch marks... I assumed that the marks would eventually just go away, and that maybe they were just temporary marks or something. However, the marks did not fade - they became more and more prominent and visible, and this worried me. I spoke with my mom about it and she said it might have something to do with my fluctuating weight, because I used to be very athletic and my lack of exercise was increasing. So, my mom bought me Mederma Stretch Marks Therapy. I continued to use it and I made sure I didn't forget to apply it at least once a day. It's been about 2 months and I am finally seeing visible improvement and the stretch marks have definitely improved. I am so happy because not only am I young and thin, I'm also petite so I felt that having stretch marks on my breasts was the strangest and most embarrassing thing to happen to my body. I was feeling very self-conscious whenever I wore a low-cut shirt and looked down at my cleavage and saw my stretch marks. I am so glad I didn't give up on this product. I'm very happy with it and I will continue to use it! Thank you so much, Mederma®!!

OMG! Thank you Mederma®! I had my son while my husband was in Afghanistan so I was always worried about what he would think about my stomach when he got back. Well unfortunately this product came out a little after he got back but it was still worth it because he got to see the progress right along with me. I only used it for 4 weeks because it is fairly expensive but I plan on getting more because the results were so amazing. Thank you so much for giving me a piece of my life back!
