Stretch marks are genetic so creams won't do much but I'm using an oil I found at Target ( some hippy dippy sounding maternity brand) to keep my skin moisturizer so it hopefully doesn't get too itchy/ tight feeling. It has orange oil which helped settle my stomach in first tri when my morning sickness was the worst
Stretch mark cream is to help prevent itching which causes the stretch marks. I used the coconut butter stretch mark cream after DD and it just made them lighter(mine were red.) & with the boys i never got more stretchmarks since i already had them from DD & i used that lotion when i was itchy. Try not scratch any more.
