Whats the most effective anti stretch mark cream?
May 23rd, 2010 by stretchcream.org | 10 Comments | Filed in Anti Stretch Mark CreamsHow Effective Are Stretch Mark Creams?
May 10th, 2010 by stretchcream.org | No Comments | Filed in Stretch Removal CreamYou have probably heard the news by now but if you haven’t I will repeat it. There are methods of lessening the appearance of your stretch marks. The most common of them at the moment is stretch mark cream.
The rich first realised that surgical procedures could be undergone to enojoy the removal of unsightly stretch marks from your life but quite obviously this option didn’t fit the price bracket or the comfort bracket of millions of women suffering from the condition scientifically known as Striea.
So as they do, scientists band together in their labs to invent the now popular stretch mark creams that can be seen from a simple websearch for stretch mark cream. Creams have been around for the last few years but have so far gained popularity on the internet more so than in the offline world.
So what do stretch mark creams do? After all it is the belief of most people that there is in fact no reliable cure for Striea.
Basically a stretch mark is a tear or damaging of the underlying tissue of the skin cells. The job of a good cream is to penetrate deep enough into the skin that it can actually affect and by certain means heal and repair this damaged tissue causing a visible difference to the physical appearance of the skin.
For the most part creams are compounds of natural ingredients and hence although they can be powerful do not require prescription. Keeping this in mind though, if you are looking at actually purchasing cream, a few things should be considered.
Firstly you need to look on which level the formula really works. Some work on the outward appearance of the skin and work to tighten and firm the layers of skin nearest the surface and in doing so alter the skins appearance. While these can produce results in changing the appearance of your marks they won’t actually penetrate to the cause of the mark and work to fully heal it so that the mark that you see can eventually disappear.
The other type of creams, the more effective and powerful type that is works on what is called a trans cellular level meaning that the active ingredients of the cream actually penetrates to the tissues below the surface of the skin to cause internal and hence more effective and longer lasting healing. It is when these tissues are healed, along with the combination of a healthy diet, will result in permanent removal of marks.
Stretch mark creams retail on the market anywhere from $20 to $80 per bottle/jar/tube etc. Generally you will find that the second type of cream mentioned will be at the higher end of the price scale due to the more advanced actions it performs and the more advanced technology they require, while the first type while being less effective will often be sold at the lower price.

Stretch Mark Cream – an Effective Stretch Mark Treatment
May 10th, 2010 by stretchcream.org | No Comments | Filed in Anti Stretch Mark CreamsStretch marks appear as lines or marks and are scar-like in appearance. Most commonly associated with pregnancy, scarring can also become present as a result of weight loss, injury, surgery or acne.
Fundamentally, stretch marks – and scars – are a result of torn tissue at the superficial dermal layer. They are manifested by slightly raised lines or marks on the epidermis, often smooth in nature.
Fibroblast cells, in the subcutaneous layer of the skin, create collagen and elastic fibers to repair the torn skin. It is difficult for the fibroblasts to develop healthy tissue with normal elastin fibers with constant stretching and movement.
Stretch mark cream has become increasingly popular because it promotes healthy skin cell growth, production of collagen and improvement of elastic fibers – thus reducing tearing and promoting healing.
An active ingredient found in many products is Emu Oil. Emu Oil has been used by the Aborigines in Australia for thousands of years to treat scars, stretch marks, acne, heal burns, reduce inflammation and rashes, and has been used effectively in hair products as well to reduce dandruff and scalp psoriasis.
Emu Oil is derived from the Emu bird, a flightless cousin of the Ostrich. Though commonly raised for its tender, delicious meat, clinically derived oil from its upper-back is processed for its medicinal purposes. Clinical studies have found Emu Oil to have several important and therapeutic properties.
Emu Oil is a natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. It reduces inflamed tissue while promoting healthy skin cell development. It is rich in Oleic Acid that reduces inflammation, making it highly effective as a skin healing agent.
Emu Oil is transdermal, and when combined with Matrixyl or Hyaluronic Acid, for instance, becomes very effective at not only improving the skin’s elasticity, it firms and tightens sagging or loose skin lessening tearing making it an excellent stretch mark treatment.
It actively promotes collagen production and is a natural moisturizer reducing fibrous tears as skin is stretched during pregnancy or from weight gain. It has been shown to substantially reduce scarring and to accelerate recovery from damaged and torn skin.
STM Stretch Mark and Scar Cream combines Emu Oil and a rich compliment of active ingredients for an effective stretch mark cream and scar treatment. Aloe Vera is used to help soothe the skin and copper peptides help promote healthy skin regeneration and repair wounds by invigorating new collagen and replacing scarred surface skin with new, healthy skin cells.
Shea Butter, collagen, and Vitamin E rejuvenate elasticity and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) infuses natural hydration and moisture adding vital elasticity and fluids for normal collagen production.
Clinical studies and customer testimonials have shown scars and stretch marks are visibly reduced and inhibited if used prior and during pregnancy, and scar reduction or elimination is experienced for current scarring.
There are alternatives however, surgery, light abrasives, and soft light laser therapy can also help eliminate stretch marks. But a stretch mark cream with effective active ingredients and skin care can be the best bet to long-term stretch mark treatment and healthy skin.
