so far so good

Quick Take: non-sticky, soothing
I had gotten really bad stretch marks when I went through puberty, so I assumed I was doomed when I got pregnant.
Although I have only been applying this to my entire belly and regular moisturing cream to my breasts, butt, and other areas, I have hit 33 weeks in my pregnancy without a single stretch mark. This is a ritual with me in the morning and after my shower in the evening and I have gone through 4 or 5 tubes and they are expensive but as I see it - well worth it. Also, my husband hates anything with a smell and this does not bother him. He has only complained that my belly is a little slippery when he touches it to feel the baby move and I told him I have the keep the skin well moisturized or it hurts and he's okay it. I highly recommend to any pregnant lady. Ask for gift cards for the holidays or your birthday to Sephora and then use it on this product!

Quick Take: scented
I started using this at 4 months, just to try it out. I am due in 2 weeks and am on my 6th bottle. Not one single stretch mark! I cannot recommend this product enough...well worth the money.

Omg! This is my first pregnancy & I freaked out when at my 3rd MO. I had all this stretch marks on my breast and hips. So my husband had no price limit when it came to the stretch mark cream. So I looked and found this! It's European #1 stretch mark cream & I had to buy it! After 3 months of using this (I'm on my 2nd bottle already) the redness of the stretch marks are fading from red to dark shade now to little nothing every week. It works GREAT'! I got 4 more Months 2 go in my Pregnancy. I will b using all Mustela products 4 me & my baby girl

Amazing!
-03.11.13
I must say if your not pregnant this stuff is still REALLY GOOD to use! & a little goes along way. I was skeptical if it would work on my skin type ( african - american) I have been using for almost a month now, and they are fading and not as deep as before! I rather pay the price of this than any other cream ever!

I started using this around 4 months and am now nearly 7 months, and so far not a single stretch mark. Hopefully it stays that way! (I've gained about 25 lbs)

Wish I used this at the beginning!!
-02.19.13
I wish that I would have gotten this when I first got pregnant! I used other products that were less expensive but you get what you pay for!! I am days away from delivering and my stretch marks have almost disappeared on my butt and sides of my belly from only using this a few times!! I am highly satisfied and will be buying another when I run out!!

Not impressed
-02.07.13
This is a very expensive cream, and it has a much thinner consistency then the Mustela Ultimate Hydration (which I loved). I am only 27 weeks along and have used both of these products and do not have any stretch marks, yet. There is nothing wrong with this cream, I just like the much cheaper version better. I will update later to let you know if I get any stretch marks as I plan on buying another bottle of the Mustela Ultimate Hydration once I run out of this Double Action.

Seems to be working..
-01.28.13
I have been using this product religiously since I found out I was pregnant and it seems to be working. It does have a perfumed-fragrance to it but you get use to it after a while. I preferred the fragrance over the cocoa butter lotion smell. I am buying my 3rd bottle and am in my 3rd trimester.. I probably use too generously but.. I really do not want stretch marks!

From a dermatologist "There's no way a cream can..
-01.07.13
My dermatologist, who was recognized as the best in my state, explained to me why there's no way in the world a cream can influence stretch marks (for better or worse). I said "but the product got good reviews" and she said "stretch marks improve over time anyway, there's no way the cream was the reason because stretch marks start at the deepest level of your epidermis, creams can only penetrate the most superficial layers." She's right, sadly. No reputable dermatologist would back a cream that helps stretch marks, it's like backing a cream that will make your nose smaller.. you just can't change structure so superficially!

no stretch marks
-12.27.12
Quick Take: soothing
I used this lotion every day during my first pregnancy and didn't get one stretch mark. I skipped it for my second pregnancy (mainly because of cost). I used the cheaper stuff (palmers) and this time I have stretch marks on my belly. So yes, I definitely think it works.

Makes My Skin So Soft
-10.12.12
Quick Take: deeply moisturizing, smells good but isn't overly fragranced
I bought this cream because I have stretch marks that I'm trying to get rid of!! I wish I would've used it during my pregnancy because I have a feeling that if I had, I wouldn't be desperately trying to lose all these ugly red squiggles on my hips :( Anyhow, it makes my skin so amazingly soft...I've never used any cream that made my skin feel like this. Only time will tell if it helps heal my stretchmarks, but so far it's stopped them in the their tracks.

Quick Take: scented, non-sticky
I'm 28 weeks and I've been using this every day. No new stretch marks, AND this is actually helping with old ones from my last pregnancy. This must be doing the trick; because with my last pregnancy I had stretchmarks by now.

SO WORTH IT
-08.07.12
Quick Take: non-sticky
I genetically was doomed to have stretch marks worse than a deflated balloon my mother is covered and they are dark and thick so i was desperate and splurged on this, i used it my whole pregnancy as directed (except now and then id forget) in the end i didn't have a single stretch mark on my stomach. my only regret is not using it on my chest too because i do have several small stretch marks on my breasts and i am positive this would have prevented them! its amazing!

Love It!
-07.06.12
Quick Take: scented
I started using this around the 4th month of my pregnancy all the way to the end.. I gained almost 50 pounds! My stomach was huge! I went through 3 tubes, and although it's expensive I am so glad I did, I have zero stretch marks. It never irritated my skin and it doesn't smell bad. I now wish I had used it on my thighs as well because that's the only place I got a few stretch marks. Overall, totally worth it! -I used this product because a friend of mine recommended it, she used it during her pregnancy and got no stretch marks as well!

Pregnancy success, stretch mark free (so far!)
-02.10.12
Quick Take: non-sticky, soothing
I'm 34 weeks pregnant and have gained 28 pounds and am so far (knock on wood) stretch mark free. I use the product all the way around on my belly, sides, and lower back, on my boobs, and on my butt and outer hips and upper thighs. All the places I have "expanded." I am relatively thin pre pregnancy and have gotten stretch marks in the past from weight gain during the college years (I blame 4th meal) so I know I'm susceptible to them. I put it on several times a week starting around 4 months pregnant and as I approached 20 weeks or so tried to use it every day. Now I use it every day and occasionally twice a day if I remember. I am going to buy about 2 more just to have for the last 6 weeks and so I have some for after. I'll update in a few months but so far I'm my "largest" and heaviest ever and my skin looks great. Also I find the scent refreshing and the cream itself is a great texture, not too thick or too thin. Love it.

AWESOME PRODUCT
-02.10.12
Quick Take: soothing
I absolutely love this product (and really need to reorder soon). Doesn't actually do much for the stretch marks themselves but is great for the itchiness and very soothing. The smell is also very pleasant unlike other stretch mark creams or cocoa butter products.
