Doh! Honestly though I've heard stretch marks are genetic so next time around I might use something less expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mama-mio-stretch-mark-cream#post-558026 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 13:32:54 +0000 HLK208 558026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't spend that much - I asked my dermatologist and she said even laser treatment barely works for stretch marks. The only thing that helps is time (for fading) and pulling the skin tight (a tummy tuck). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mama-mio-stretch-mark-cream#post-557944 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 12:07:08 +0000 Boogs 557944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Not only does it look like that person lost a little weight and took the photos in a different light, but the "before" photo looks like she had fresh stretch marks. After time they do fade, so the appearance of the stretch marks in the "after" photo is probably more likely the result of time causing the fading, not the magical cream. I'm vain, but not enough to spend that kind of cash. I have these magic beans someone might be interested in... ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mama-mio-stretch-mark-cream#post-557938 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 12:02:37 +0000 sylvie_b 557938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I've been using mamma mio stretch mark butter and it's been awesome (no stretch marks!). Not sure about this product though, the amazon reviews are iffy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mama-mio-stretch-mark-cream#post-557879 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 11:06:42 +0000 immabeetoo 557879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I dunno like I said I'm already skeptical but those photos just look like she lost weight and took in different lights. Do they have a satisfaction guarantee or return policy?? That'd be more comforting to me. Plenty of amazon reviews are bought or faked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mama-mio-stretch-mark-cream#post-557858 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 10:47:25 +0000 Mrs. Pen 557858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: just this one: <a href="http://forum.baby-gaga.com/about1632082.html" rel="nofollow">http://forum.baby-gaga.com/about1632082.html</a><br /> but there are so many reviews on their site and amazon... soooo idk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mama-mio-stretch-mark-cream#post-557853 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 10:42:26 +0000 immabeetoo 557853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I guess I don't get how any cream could help. Maybe I'm too skeptical but its new skin that pulled out under the tip layer... So it seems implausible that a topical cream could do much more than soften or bleach. But if you try it report back! Does google turn up any unaffikiated before/after pictures?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mama-mio-stretch-mark-cream#post-557847 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 10:36:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 557847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sooo I have A TON of stretch marks. like insane. @Princessbaby told me about this mama mio stretch mark repair cream and the reviews look AMAZING.... but it's $70 for a bottle. I really want to try it but I'm afraid it won't work. I already paid $70 for a firming cream from Arbonne 6 months ago that didn't work. </p> <p><a href="http://www.mamamio.com/us/pregnancy/c-sections/goodbye-stretch-marks.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mamamio.com/us/pregnancy/c-sections/goodbye-stretch-marks.html</a></p> <p>Has anyone else used it? Found something else that works?? </p>
