I was wondering how you were getting on with this particular method of stretch mark treatment.
Vonstella? Bkk girl? How's it going?
I'm still plugging away using super cop, and wondering about using Epidermix stretchmark treatment. |

| Im still having great results. I decided aginst adding the Skin Bio stuff and just use the method I mentioned. Ive gotten a bit lazy and Im not doing it as often as I should however, the results are obvious after every treatment. Hopefully this thread will light a fire under my bum to keep at it! |

So, I just decided to try this method out. I just bought it a minute ago! I have been really upset lately seeing my legs get nicer from working out, but not so nice because they are covered in stretch marks. I'll get this stuff, take some before photos and try it out. I hope to please all of you with some great after photos. Let's keep our fingers crossed!!

Hi Catski,
Glad you brought this thread back up. I've been meaning to go for Vonstella's recommendation and wanted to dig up the thread to find the link. LOL Now you made it easier for me. I was doing so well with the helichrysum oil I bought at Nandaoils.com, but it was only 5 ml, so I used it up quickly. The next one I bought from ebay was cheaper and didn't produce the same results. Duh, right? Anyway, I think I'm going to have to order this ebook now. I'm curious to know what on earth her secret is. My stretchmarks aren't too bad, but very annoying. The most ridiculous thing is they look better (very faint) some days and more obvious another day. I wonder if my eyes are just playing tricks on me, or is it a signal that I need to lose my tummy? LOL
Thanks for checking back.

PS: I bought the Super CP serum, not the Super COP, and I think it might not have been strong enough for the tummy area. I also got the Exfol cream, which didn't do anything. So Nanci was suggesting that I tried glycolic acid peel which is stronger thant Exfol Cream. I've been procrastinating and haven't ordered anything. I feel like I have a million things to order, so I just don't order anything. LOL |

Renee, thank you! I just read your post. Maybe I'll hold off ordering until I see your great results. Please let me know how difficult it is to use, and if it's a drag to do everyday. |

Vonstella,
I am just wondering about whether the results last when you stop using the system. You mentioned that you haven't been seeing results as quickly when you stopped (which makes sense) but do the results go away if you stop using it?
Thanks! |

Hi gigiab6!
I probably wasnt very clear when I wrote that (sorry, Ive been very tired lately), what I meant to say was I havent seen further results because I havent been doing it. The results you get after each massage are permanent but, obviously, you have to keep doing it to eliminate them more.
Thats the great thing about her system, you caan quit and pick up at any time without losing your progress. 
If anyone who has purchased the ebook or just downloaded the system has any questions about using it or whatever, feel free to PM me! |

I have read somewhere that if you use Vitamin A or Retinol every night, and Vitamin C durning the day. It will help reduce the look of stretch marks. Exfoliating is very important. So I have read.  |

Hi Vonstella,
I just bought the ebook tonight, and already PM'd you. I can't wait to start the system. It sounds pretty simple. I'll wait for your answer first before I start though since I don't yet have all the tools required anyway. Back to reading...
Thank you.

| my ob told me nothing could prevent SM. If I wanna get rid of it, she would prescribe something after I finish breastfeeding. So I think OTC maynot work. |

| I used Murad Firm and Tone Serum after delivery and my SM reduced a lot. I'm still wondering if the serum worked or my belly was recovering by itself. |

I made a potion to rub on my stretchmarks, and it seems to be very very effective for me.
It is -
Sandalwood Powder
Sea Buckthorne Oil
Rosehip Oil
Helichryseum EO
skb/aloe gel
Dont ask me proportions - I just tip some in a jar and make an oily gel, and rub it in. The sandalwood gives exfoliation. the oils sink in and it does stain the skin. I have been leaving it on all day, then washing it off in the evening and applying supercop and emu.
It is seriously speeding up their disapearance. |

| How does the Supercop cream smell? I have the BND cream and I love what it seems to be doing, but I can't stand the horrible smell!! I suspect they are similar though, is this the case? |

I hate the BND smell, too. It's horrendous. I finished the jar, and won't repurchase. The super CP serum smells less horrible, but the smell is there. I can put up with it though. |

bkkgirl - I think you got the jasmine BND cream, as I did, and the smell of that is Yucksville.
My second jar is patchouli, I think, and to my surprise when I opened it, it isnt horrible smelling.
So I think we chose the worst one, with the jasmine.
Either that or I'm getting used to it... |

Yes, you're absolutely right! I got the jasmine scent because I just love jasmine the flower. Yikes, I didn't realize it would smell bad with copper peptides. Hmm...maybe I'll try that scent you mentioned next time I order from skinbiology. I plan to go for the super COP because I will graduate from super CP serum soon. lol |

Sorry, I missed your question. Thanks for PMing me about this.
I did not get a good result with the Jean Wu method. My stretch marks actually got worse. I don't know if I did something wrong, or if I brushed the marks too hard or what, but I now have much more noticeable marks! Even my dad noticed and made a comment about it when I visited him in Thailand. It was really embarrassing since he usually wouldn't notice stuff like this.
Jean Wu did give me a refund when I reported to her my results and asked for a refund, so if any of you want to try her method, please be certain that you can try it with confidence. If I remember correctly, I was on her system for about 8 weeks.
I was getting a good result with the helicrysum oil that Scalawaggirl recommended. I bought one from a web site, but it was a small size, so I used it up quickly. I then bought more on ebay. This one smelled different. Maybe the seller mixed other oil in it. Anyway this one didn't do anything and it smelled yucky, so I don't use it. I thought to buy more from the first vendor, but they raised their prices now. So I didn't order. I remember that Catski has some incredible formula that she came up with and was getting good results, so I thought to try to do that, but of course, I forgot about it! LOL |

...oh and I'm convinced that it is in your particular skin's make up (elasticity) as to whether you'll get stretch marks or not. I really don't think cocoa butter works. It didn't work for my sister anyway. |
Your sister's skin might have ended up worse had she not used the cocoa butter. |

Catski,
Are you still using this formulation? It looks great! How did it work for you? Thanks in advance |

Also, is anyone still using or has anyone else tried the "Stretch Marks Cure" program? If so, did you like it? And is safe and natural (e.g., no chemical peels, etc.)?
Thanks! |

Yes, i did this for my stretch marks.
You must no that they'll go away for like 100%, but you can faden them.
I've used Vitamin A + Moist with vitamin c every night, and you can hardly see them anymore!
I would recommend this so much! |
