A water-based lotion was recommended. I ended up using Palmer's Cocoa Butter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/merderma-vs-bio-oil#post-161856 Thu, 17 May 2012 18:02:44 +0000 Mrsbells 161856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks and bumping for more replies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/merderma-vs-bio-oil#post-160767 Wed, 16 May 2012 18:51:43 +0000 banana 160767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've tried both and then some! haha. I'm not really sure which worked better for me cause I used them in tangent. But what I liked about Bio Oil was that it stayed on my skin for a long period of time. If I apply in the morning, I could still feel it on me at night. Some people might hate the "oily" feeling thought. But I liked it. In the morning, I applied Mederma and then a layer of The Body Shop's cocoa butter. Then I applied Bio Oil at night (since it's greasy and I didn't want it on my work clothes). So far so good! I had a few stretch marks and they've definitely faded away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/merderma-vs-bio-oil#post-160759 Wed, 16 May 2012 18:45:12 +0000 Mrsbells 160759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering which of these two products is better at fading stretch marks? I want to start using something on my belly but just wondered which one people had better success with? </p>
