A few people that I know have used Retin-a for stretch marks. It doesn't take them away but it does
get them to the pale white stage (as opposed to the red, inflamed stage :) ) faster than if you
don't use it. Don't use a lot. Put a pea sized drop on your finger and smooth it over the area.
Use enough to just cover the site. The best results seem to be if you put it on before bed and then again in the morning.
