Buy prescription creams that are derived from Vitamin A, such as
Tretinoin, or Retin A. These products often have more success than the
naturally occurring vitamin A because they thin the outer layer of the
skin which helps them to penetrate into the dermis. They also help to
boost collagen production which can improve the appearance and texture
of the skin. However, there are a few side affects from these creams if
you use too much, such as sensitivity to sunlight and skin thickening,
so always consult your doctor for the correct dose. Pregnant women
should avoid using tretinoin and products with retinoic acid. There is
also limited information on whether using retinoic acid is safe during
breastfeeding. These creams are most effective if they are used on
stretch marks in their early stages.
Creams
containing alpha hydroxyl acids (AHAs) can be of some benefit in your
battle to get rid of stretch marks. AHAs are usually derived from fruit
and they are sometimes called ��fruit acids. These creams can improve
your skin texture and color by increasing cell regeneration. AHAs
remove the top layer of cells which then allows healthier ones to come
to the surface which help with improving the appearance of your stretch
marks.
