Yep. This shit has done wonders for me. It's prescription only and usually prescribed for cystic acne. But it works at healing stretch marks because it promotes collagen synthesis. Stretch marks are formed when the skin is stretching too fast for the collagen to keep up. The disgusting scars are a result of not enough collagen.

Vitamin E helps existing stretch marks fade a bit and seems to keep new ones from appearing, but it's not the strongest of "cures."

Mederma is said to be pretty effective, but I don't have any first hand experience with it.

How do you use the retin a for this purpose? After you shower or before bed? I acquired some of the .05% and plan to try and get rid of some small ones.

what deepzen said. cept the collegen/elastin network actually tears.

the ONLY thing that has been clinically shown ion double blind placebo studies to _eliminate_ freash (red) strech marks, and minimize/elim old (white) stretch marks is retin-a/renova/tretinoin (same stuff). period.

most online pharms will sell it w/o script (usually on viagra sites).

search on my handle and renova for more info.

I used the 0.1% every night before bed. I never saw many other posts about experiences with it, so I just assumed that's what I would do. My stretch marks were fucking bad too, but with the help of the retin-a they faded quickly and they didn't get any bigger. I had them all down my biceps, around my triceps, and very big ones leading from my armpits to my chest. The huge ones in my pits are still pretty foul, but I never really held much hope for them.

I haven't used it in 3 months and still no new stretch marks, but I'm sure that will change when I start bulking. I gotta get a refill.
