Stretch marks creams for a 12 year old

[excitedbunny79]

Hi
My daughter is just about to hit puberty and has become self conscious about the stretch marks she’s started to get as her body changes. Can anyone recommend any creams to take the redness down on them? I’ve used bio-oil but I was never really sure it worked.
Any recommendations appreciated!

Palmers Cocoa Butter is highly recommended. My mum liked the bio-oil, whereas I thought the same as you that it didn’t do much, but I guess it’s different for everyone.

Also interested in this DD has some on her hips/tops of her legs. She is also 12.

I do think bio oil works the best but doesn’t smell good. Cocoa butter won’t have much effect but will at least smell nice and keep everything soft and supple x

Ds2 had this, hes now 22 and they have faded really well. We just moisturised every so often. My other 2 didn't have this, wonder how it affects some kids and not others?

Anything with vitamin E will help x

my girls are 10 in two weeks and going through this ill get them some creams, 10 just seems way way too early for this

I use Palmers now, mainly because I love the smell! I think I’m going to try and encourage her to moisturise and try bio oil, I think maybe knowing she is doing something to try and help them will make her feel better.

My daughter started developing at 9, but she still hasn’t started her periods yet, although the signs are all there and she’s 13 in October.

Vitamin E cream, or Bio Oil which is good.
