i have the same problem! i think it does a good job...it's not a miracle worker on older stretch marks, but it works well enough for me to buy it.

It lasted me about 4 months using it twice daily. you dont have to be extremly generous with your aplication, just cover all the skin with a fine layer, if it only lasts a month you are using way too much

after using the product for many months i'd say i agree it does last plus or minus one month - i go through it quicker now that i'm in my 8th month of pregnancy, i use a little more to cover the entire surface area of my expanding belly.

The old version was a very light scent (in the peach and white tube)- the new version (pink and white tube) has a flowery, perfumy scent. I had no problems with the first one, but the second version made me nauseaus during pregnancy.

This has a scent that I particularly found strong maybe because I was hypersensitive to smells when pregnant. But some of the other reviews also mention it has a strong smell.

The fragrance is really light on this, not perfumey at all! I think it smells a lot better than cocoa butter- that's actually why I tried this product out.

I go through the bottle very quickly, faster than I thought it should be. I only apply it at night on my belly and my thigh. I would say I need 1 bottle per month.

I'm on my 7th month and have been using it twice since day one. I just started the second bottle so I would say is a safe bet to say that you will only need a couple of them..it says on the isntructions that you should keep using it at least 1 month after your baby is born.

Question

I use Mustela Double Action, should I use the Intensive Serum as well? Which one do I apply first?

I'm in my 2nd trimester & had very small stretch marks from previous pregnancy. This time, I am getting stretch marks a lot sooner.
Has anyone tried both the serum & the lotion and which one would be better?

If you want to use the serum as well, then apply the serum before the lotion.

I've only used the lotion during my last pregnancy, and was applying it over old stretchmarks (from puberty) and new ones (from pregnancy). I purchased two of these Stretch Marks Double Action tubes total, and my stretch marks are GONE. The ones on my belly waited to fade until baby came out but the skin wasn't wrinkled after delivery, just smooth with a couple colored lines that are fading now. I started use at week 24 of pregnancy and have just delivered.

I highly recommend this product, since no other line I've found delivers results AND is safe for baby (which means it's probably pretty safe for you, too, and not a sneaky carcinogen). I bought Strivectin and can't even use it because I'm breast feeding, what a waste of money.

Question

will this cream remove light stretch marks?

I had stretch marks on the side of my hips when I was younger and after having my first son my stomach looks like a little brain. I have always been small around 100-110 lbs. But when I was pregnant I was 125 lbs mostly belly now I just need to decrease my stretch marks on my belly and tone my four pack back up. Does this cream work for dark stretch marks

I would not reccomend it. The only thing I saw results with was with bio oil (I saw better results with the walgreens version believe it or not!). I used it about a year after my daughter was born so the stretchmarks were old by then and it has lightened them down a bit so now they are less noticeable (they are still there but they blend better with my skin). Good Luck!

Stretch Marks Double Action is both a reparative product for treating existing stretchmarks, as well as a preventative product in keeping skin supple to prevent new stretch marks from forming.

However, as it sounds like your primary concern is existing stretch marks, you may benefit more from their Stretch Marks Intensive Action which focuses mainly on repair.

Does it help to prevent stretch marks?

Hi, I am pregnant & am looking for a cream that will help prevent stretch marks. Currently, i am using cocoa butter & was wondering if there was anything that was better to help keep the skin tight & not stretch marked. Thanks!

I highly recommend Mustela Stretch Marks Double Action, kind of pricey if you use it properly, but well worth the money. I used it twice a day, everyday, since I was 3 months pregnant. Stretch marks run in my family for pregnancy AND I gained 60lbs BUT I am only one week away from delivering and I do not have a single stretch mark on my body except for 4 small 1/2 long stretch marks on my lower back area. My doctor cannot believe how great my stomach looks.

I actually only saw results with bio oil (I saw even better results with the walgreens version...weird huh) But I used both the Walgreens Oil and Bio Oil and they have made my old stretchmarks blend in better, and thats 3 years after having a baby!

This would be an excellent cream for stretch marks even if they were not caused by pregnancy. It's specifically made to help diminish the appearance of stretch marks.
