Thanks to StriMedix-SM for providing a sample for review. Once again, I’m not a doctor, so this is merely a retelling of my own experience using this product and not intended to treat or prevent any condition.
Over the last few years, I have gotten some stretch marks on my chest due to fluctuating weight. I suppose there are worse things than having your bust get bigger, however I could really do without the stretch marks. 😉 I have used special creams made for reducing the appearance of stretch marks before, and the marks did fade significantly over time; how much of that was due to the cream and how much of that would have happened on its own, I can’t know, however it most certainly did not hurt. So when I had the opportunity to try out a new product, StriMedix-SM Stretch Marks Cream, I was happy to give it a go. Now that I have achieved so many of my fitness goals, I really want to take good care of my skin as I settle into my “New” body, as it were.
StriMedix-SM says it is for stretch marks, scarring and striations. It retails for $49.99 and can be used with StriMedix Shield Spray, but I just tried the cream. It comes in an easy to dispense pump bottle, smells nice and has a moisturizing lotion quality to it – it would be nice just as a body lotion! The main issue I have with stretch mark creams is that I totally forget to use them. StriMedix-SM is meant to be applied twice daily, and I have a very hard time remembering to use it. I’m kind of a slacker when it comes to using body lotion daily anyway – I always put it on my hands but often forget to put any on the rest of my body – so it slips my mind easily. It’s really important for me to get into the habit of using lotions when I get out of the shower to moisturize my skin, so this is good incentive to start. According to the site, results should occur anywhere from 3-5 weeks to 2 months depending on the age of the stretch marks; I feel like it’s too soon to fairly say whether it will help or not, especially since I have only used it sporadically because of my scumbag brain. I’m going to keep using it and hopefully I will get a good routine in place over time!
Have you ever used a stretch mark cream?
i haven’t tried a stretch mark cream. i have a lot of stretch marks from pregnancy on my belly- i call it my worm farm. i would not mind if they at least faded away a LITTLe BIT!
When I was pregnant with my last I bought some really nice cream that helped. Can;t remember the name though
I haven’t ever tried any but I do have a stretch mark from my pregnancy that I wouldn’t mind getting rid of.
Thankfully no stretch marks here but I remember my Mom had quite a few thanks to me!!
I’ve got lots of stretch marks. 5 pregnancies will do that! 😛
I will have to try this!
I have a few scars I’d love to try this on!!!
I always remember lotions, but I hardly ever remember the specialty products like this. It takes me a long time of doing something before it sticks. I hope you’ll find this is good for you!
Will this work even years, meaning.. YEARS later?? I soo have to try it; thanks for sharing, my last two got me LOTS of strechmarks
i have a few stretch marks from pregnancy that i would love to treat!
I am bad at remembering to do things daily too, like taking vitamins. It is frustrating.
