| I'm trying the Skinbio's exfol cream in the AM, and TriReduction P&R and Super CP serum in the PM for about 2 weeks now on my tummy stretch marks. I need some encouragements from women who have had success with either this routine, or anything else you have tried and actually found it to work on reducing the stretch marks, or get rid of them altogether. My stretch marks are 11 years old, and they are not that bad really, but I still hate them. I have seen worse (wider and much more) on my friend's and my mom's. However my two sisters were smart to put on cocoa butter or other cream when they were pregnant and their tummies don't have any stretch marks. |

Hi Cherisse!
Im about to add the same SkinBio stuff to what I am already doing. I have had GREAT results already but I figure that I can always do more right?  Here is the link to the routine that I have been doing for about 7 months, I must admit that I have taken long breaks from it but when I was dedicated I saw *wowing* results after every treatment. Best of all its cheap and easy and works. If you have any questions about it feel free to ask!

I feel your pain! I got stretch marks on my rear and sides of my thighs for no apparent reason when I was growing up. I never lost or gained a lot of weight---I'm only 5 feet tall! I see them more than other people, but since I'm a little out of shape, they seems to make my legs look more jello-y. Mine are white so I just figured there is nothing I can do.

...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. |

I hate stretch marks. I have them on my breasts, inner thigh, and butt. I've tried all kinds of creams like cocoa butters, stretch marks cream from Vichy, Biotherm etc, Vit. E oil and even taking Vit E supplements. Nothing seems to work. My stretch marks won't fade. Now im really considering trying laser on the skin. It's not the fact that I am over-weight because if anything I'm underweight. I am 5'4 and weigh 105 and have these ugly stretch marks that make me very insecure when it comes to getting naked with other men. The reason for my stretch marks I would say is puberty. As i was going through puberty, my breasts grew very rapidly as well as my hips and butt.
Has anybody had their stretch marks lasered? |

Hi Vonstella,
Thank you for sharing what you tried with me. I went to the web site, and would like to get more info on it. I was a bit confused by the web site since there seemed a lot to navigate. What exactly was the person trying to sell? What did you use? Was it hard to use? How time-consuming is the procedure?
Thank you.

You're probably right, but I'm determined to kick some stretch marks' butt!

Vonstella,
Did you buys the ebook from this woman? Does it describe which products and such she used to get rid of hers? If you think it works, then I would totally say the $18 is worth it! My sister is sooo sad since having her baby and getting really bad marks on her belly, that I'd love to help her find a cure even more than I'd like to get rid of my old white ones!!! |

aaaaahhhhh! Another falsified before and after picture site! Gee, if you say this system actually works, then why do these darned people have to fake their photos so [i]obviously[/]? It peeves me to no end! 
I already got all my anger out on the lips2kiss forum, but the ones on this site are just ridiculous... when will these e-entrepreneurs learn...?
Can you share the stretch mark cure with us, perchance? If it is a simple home remedy, I'm certainly game! I have them on the sides of my hips and my breasts too, also from puberty. I don;t think they are such a big deal. But like I said, home remedies are easy and fun...

Maureenall, did Tonalastil actually remove your stretchmarks?
Could you tell us what type of marks and how long it took, please? Thanks! |

I felt that the web site was very ambiguous, and it made me a bit leery, so I'd love to hear more from Vonstella on what exactly she had to do.

Ok everyone, sorry I wasnt more prompt with my reply but for once I actually went out on a Saturday night for once!
First off, I KNOW the site looks shady and ANY product or person that says they can banish stretchmarks is automatically under suspicion but, for the moment please retract your claws. Im not saying that this will totally eliminate ALL signs of SM but--it really has helped me.
A bit of basic info:
A stretchmark is caused by the skin stretching (obviously) beyond its capability. We all know there are different causes such as weight gain, pregnancy, certain medications, etc. Leaving a "gap" of skin that basically has no support (collagen).
The only way to "cure" SM's is to stimulate collagen production. The same theroy behind doing a chemical peel on your face, a bit of controlled damage to the top layer of skin causes the underlying tissue to produce collagen that will "push" through the top layers of skin--over time creating a smoother surface.
So this is the program that this woman is selling is a cheap, easy, safe (painless) way to do this at home. I feel like it would be wrong of me to devulge her method online to others for free. Just like it would be unethical to air any "secret" a vendor developed. Its not expensive (18 bucks) and I believe she has a 90 day money back guarantee. You really have nothing to lose, at least you didnt waste 1,000's of dollars on laser treatments.
I'll say this, if you are serious and stick to the program you will see a difference, I saw a change after every treatment in reduction of color, depth and texture. This is not something that will work overnight--I hope we all know nothing will--but it does work. It just take time.
Lastly, half of my marks are very deep and these have been more resistant to the treatment(although I still see a difference in these too) but, the lighter less deep ones shrunk up and almost disappeared with in 3-4 treatments, I now have trouble locating them. I think it is more effective on newer SM's but some older white ones I have from puberty have become smoother and less noticable.
If anyone decides to purchase the info from her feel free to PM me with any questions, I am happy to tell you what I tweaked about the program to make it more effective. |

thanks for that, vonstella,
I completely understand where you are coming from in every way!
I'm just annoyed because it seems as if people NEED to tweak their photos on their websites and blow their marketing out of proportion just to drive the point home, and in my opinion, it insults our intelligence. Why not just present the information and stand behind it?
I did not mean to intimate that her system does not work; your endorsement is sufficient evidence for me that it does. But I've just been encountering these questionable marketing strategies lately that put me off of certain products in general.
another one is Talika, which I actually USE: I mean, the fake eyelashes are SSSSOOOOO recognizable in all of their promotional photos!!! To me, that is just ridiculous. If it works, it works. This was also my *only* gripe with the lips2kiss debacle as well! I only wanted to drive home the point that the obvious tampering with the images made me suspicious of the product and its potential efficacy...
Again, thank you!

I totally agree with you not revealing someone's "secret". They have every right to make a business out of their discovery. I'm glad you had a good experience with her method. I just may try it. |

I used cocoa butter with vitamin E through both of my pregnancies. survied without any stretch marks. I think some of it was heridty though.
I'm not sure about the cream but I know something similar was available in the motherhood store in my town than many women swore by. good luck! |

Im not offended, it seems recently that people are a little too passoniate about skincare, etc. Its sad really that adults cant express opinions here with out getting a verbal assualt from a super fan. You know what I mean. 
I do believe this method works, like I said it will take time, I expect at least a year or two for me (for the deeper ones anyway), Im ok with that. Still cheaper (not to mention more effective) than Strivectin.
I think that anyone who has SM that they want to get rid of should give this a shot.
As far as her photos go, thats really not what sold me. I knew the science behind remolding when I purchased her info, I knew it would work to some extent and I didnt have the extra cash to get out the big guns. I think its really low for vendors to alter photos or make false claims as well but I guess some people will always stoop to those levels of deception, oh well... |

Vonstella,
If you don't mind me asking, did you try anything else that didn't work before you tried this method? I was also thinking of trying Epidermx.
Thanks!

Just Strivectin, it was a waste of money. Other than that no. Ive ordered some SkinBio stuff to help move things along.
Ive never used Epidermx but its really pricy, I would try this method first...thats just me though. |

Vonstella,
I definitely don't want you to reveal the lady's secret. I was just wondering how easy is it to follow the e-book, and then she offered something else for $39. What is that all about? Can you buy the e-book without buying the other stuff that makes it go up to $39? Are the things she wants you to use easy to find in stores? Do you order them online?
How time-consuming is the procedure?
Thank you.

The program is super easy, takes about 30 mins at night--your not doing it every night though.
Yes, you can order the ebook without the other stuff, she just offers all the "tools" in a package but, you can get them on your own. They are not hard to find, except one because of lack of quality in stores, I ordered it online. No biggie. HTH! |

| Thanks Vonstella. Ahhh I thought I was done with questions, but I still have one more. Is it worth it to just buy her package for $39? Or would you recommend to buy the ebook and then buy the necessary tools or creams she wants you to buy separately? How much did you spend in total for this system? |

Well if you go out and buy the stuff yourself, you are still spending the same amount of money plus gas. But there are a few things in her package that I subed something else for so I didnt buy it, I did, however, buy one of the things she recommended online from a different retailer. If you decide to just get the ebook PM me and I will tell you about/where to get the other stuff. |
