It's pricey, but I use Mary Kay Visibly Fit lotion. It's kept me stretch mark and itch-free through weight-gain and -loss, as well as my previous pregnancy. It's also minimizing my scars from having my gallbladder removed when DS was 7 weeks old. Palmer's did nothing for me, except make me smell like a coconut.
I HATE the smell of coca butter. Not a fan of any of the lotions mentioned above. I really like Bio Oil or Vitamin E oil. It takes a little longer to soak into your skin but it lasts alot longer on your skin.
Medella stretchmark cream worked great for me. Took the itch away which was the main reason I used it and I didn't get any stretchies the first time around which I realize most likely has zero to do with it, but I'll use the same cream just incase

I really like palmers.. Both the butter and lotion and my DH loves rubbing it on and talking to our little one. No stretch marks yet and no itchiness either.
Rubbing things on the outer layer of your skin will do nothing to prevent stretch marks. They are the result of the innermost layer of skin tearing due to poor elasticity. Stretch marks come from the inside out. The BEST way to "prevent" them is to drink A LOT of water. They are genetic, so if you are predisposed to getting them, your out of luck.
