Can you start using it while you're still heavy, or do you have to lose weight first? I've got some really annoying ones on my stomach and on my upper arms that I've had for years. I tried other products, and they haven't gone away.

I checked out the website and really like that it's a socially responsible company.

Does it help with the lighter ones? Like the ones that have already faded? I don't have any red huge ones, but I want the ones on my tummy to go away. lol

The ones on my legs that completely faded were "newer" ones. And I'm not kidding - if I wore shorts at the gym, people who knew me asked me what I -did- to myself. They looked like I had taken knives to thighs. It was so, so, embarrassing. Those are completely gone now.

The marks on my 'baby bearing hips' have been with me for the last decade (which is saying a fair bit since I'm only 19) - I think they've minimized, and faded a noticeable amount - but not nearly as much as the ones on my legs. I would say it's definitely worth trying out.

I also like to use bio oil in place of lotion in the winter when my skin gets REALLY dry. I'll use bio oil after my shower, and lotion before bed, and it does wonders. It's just an over-all good product in my opinion.

I have them on my hips, belly, lower back and shoulders..they are horrible I wish there was a way to remove them permanently forever!

Thanks a bunch! I will definitely be picking that up tomorrow!
