REPAVAR Stress Masks, 0.4 kg

There are lots of stretch mark creams on the market, and, as with many cosmetics, many have claims that don't really stand up. My wife is in her early 30s and just had her first pregnancy. She has fair skin, and has a family prone to stretch marks. She was pretty keen to try to avoid stretch marks if at all possible! I'm a doctor and wanted to try and take an evidence based approach to finding the best cream (sad I know!) So I did my research, and read the Cochrane review on the subject (Cochrane reviews are well renowned up to date medical papers that examine evidence on particular subjects. Doctors across the world look at these as being an authoritative source of information). So, the Cochrane review basically says that there is no good evidence that any stretch mark creams actually work. However, some ingredients have limited evidence of success. There's a little bit of research showing that rosehip oil, centella asiatica, and hydroxyproline might have an effect. So I looked around and this was the only cream I could find that contains all 3 of these ingredients. My wife used it from 14 weeks pregnant to 40+ weeks. She also used the Secret Saviours bump band (this is a support band with little bumps that help reduce the lines of stress across the skin, and so in theory reduce stretch marks). We didn't use the Secret Saviours creams as they are very expensive and didn't look as well formulated. She is now 4 weeks post birth, and has absolutely no stretch marks.

I am currently 29 weeks with twins, and my bump size at this point is probably roughly the size of a last stages pregnancy with a singleton. I started using the cream very early in my pregnancy, maybe at 11 weeks or so. Since then I've put it on my bump every morning. What can I say...not a single stretch mar!.Now, it is probably a combination of using the cream and good genes. My Mum had three children and not a single stretch mark through any of them. But it is a twin pregnancy, so I am much bigger than she ever was. I would definitely recommend it for use. Also would like to add that the price is quite high, but one tube goes a long way. I'm currently half-way through my second one.edit: I am now 36+4days with the twins, one week away from birth. Both of them are 3kg at the moment, so I am quite big. I don't have a single stretch mark, so I would still completely recommend to use this cream.

Very good!

I have received this cream and tried it on my pregnant tummy. It however doesn’t seems to be absorbed by my skin, after rubbing the cream on my clean skin it dries and starts falling off like little grains of dirt. Not so happy with that

I am o pleased with this cream, I bought it after hearing rave reviews about it but was initially a bit skeptical as I wasn’t sure how moisturising it would be. I’m also using a thick butter to keep my bump moisturised but have been noticing my skin starting to itch throughout the day. I normally suffer with pretty dry skin which was why with it having a thinner consistency I wasn’t sure. However upon receipt I used some and although it is a thinner cream than I’m used to, my bump felt so well moisturised and the itching subsided immediately for the rest of the day, it also has a lovely floral fragrance to it. I wish I’d discovered this sooner, but I know I’m going to use it for the rest of this pregnancy and enjoy using it.

It makes the skin very smooth and makes the stretch marks looks smoother

Not happy at all. My skin is not even that dry -but it doesn’t moisture at all. Very disappointing

It gave my skin rush and made it itchy.

La ha usado mi mujer para el postparto en l barriga y le ha venido genial.
