[Nebulati]

I've had stretch marks since puberty but I also gained a bunch from weight gain/loss.

A few things I've tried-

Dermarolling (also called microneedling and collagen induction therapy) wasn't a success, though I may have gotten better results with longer needles and anesthetic.

Creams/butters/oil massaging. No success.

TCA chemical which I bought for my face. I tried it on my marks... no change, but the TCA % is only 15%. Might be more successful with a higher percentage. I buy from MUAC. Cheap and great quality.

I kinda give up until the other day. I was searching reviews on makeupalley for DIY beauty ideas. I searched for best value and Vicks Vapor Rub came up. I thought other than having a stuffy nose what else could you use it for? The last thing I expected to read was that it's amazing for stretchmarks!

Rubbing the vapor rub on the marks and wrapping the area in bandage apparently helps to tighten the skin and help vanish stretchmarks! I've tried it for 2 days now.. It kinda feels nice. Not sure if it's working but I'm willing to give it shot after reading great reviews from a few different ares.

I thought I would share now rather than waiting a few months to see if it works.

Good Luck!
