It is expensive but MERDERMA works pretty good

I am currently using Mederma on a 1 inch surgical scar. I have used it for a couple weeks and have not noticed much of a change yet. The surgeon said it would work though! It may take a couple months. The package says it is also for stretch marks. One tube is $14 at Walmart.

Does it just make the red go away or does it get rid of them when they are the white lines? I've seen it advertised but never tried it. Thanks....Sis

Default Stretch Marks
You might want to visit your doctor and ask. I'm taking something for my skin, but I have PCOS and my stretch marks are really dark and thick.

Is Merdema available in Canada? I've looked but can't find it.

Why not try plain old vitamin E tablets? Break them open and rub them on the marks.
