What is the best way to get rid-of (or reduce the appearance) of stretch marks? I haven't had kids and I'm 17. I have gained weight due to changes in my meds and along the way, I have gotten A LOT of stretch marks. Any advice?????????

I always used vitamin E cream or cocoa butter cream, either will take about 2 weeks of diligent use to see results, but the color will fade from them

I'm in the same boat as you D: I got some on the inside of my thighs a few years ago, have some faint ones on my hips, and I'm starting to get some on my boobs. I was never overweight, but I have lost weight since last summer.

Vitamin E! I have had babies and I take 1000 IU every day. And lots and lots of water. Plastic surgery is the only way to make them disappear but Vit. E and water help them shrink and turn them back to the natural color of your skin.

I've heard that cocoa butter is supposed to be really good at reducing stretch marks. But I would just do some online research. No worries about the stretch marks. Most women get them around your age. It's just due to your body changing. Yay hormones, right? Haha. Also, drink a lot of water. It'll help keep your skin elastic, which should help prevent either more from forming, or reducing the size/appearence (sp) of any new ones that might occurr. But don't worry too much about them. Most will go away on their own, although you may still have some that linger, but some lotion should take care of that. :) I hope this helps a bit, and hopefully you find something that works for you. :) Take care. :)

Cocoa butter is one thing to try, it wont take them away completely but it will reduce them. Unfortunately theres no real way to get rid of stretch marks. Sorry x
