Cream against stretch marks

[mip]

Hi, since my bulk from June to january (now) I got some pretty nasty stretch marks on my biceps, under my shoulders, some on the knees and alittle on my upper thighs and obliques. Now I wonder if anyone here got a good working cream to remove these. I read all over that "Revitol" cream against stretch marks works wonders but I've read that there are alot of scams out there. Anyone ever tried this cream or others that worked?

Bio Oil has been mentioned in other threads. I have some and it's decent stuff.

I've been using the bio oil for a few days. I used the derma roller and it seems to help but I don't have any disinfectant to wash it with, is it really that necessary? Wont just really warm water do it?

The derma roller? It's a cool tool, but seriously, it's more beneficial to use it once every three months or so, if it's a decent product. Of course needle size makes a difference as well. But with derma rolling; less will be better. It's a shock to the system, makes your body produce more of collagen etc..
Disinfectant doesn't cost much! Hydroperoxide 3 % isn't expensive and there are other good disinfectants available as well. Want to keep your skin in order? Sanitize that tool and don't use it too often!
There are better creams, those high in vitamin E etc., to use after derma rolling.

Boiling / very hot water can do a lot in terms of disinfecting, warm won't. I find it easier to buy some sanitizer and let the roller soak in the solution for a while.
Probably your diet is in order, but it's good to include good oils and lots of water, to keep the skin moisturised.

Lycka till! (From Finland, and from a Finnish guy.)

I have the derma roller with 2.0mm, the largest one. Thanks for the clarification, have you tried the cream from Revitol? Tack.

Haven't tried Revitol. I sent you a private message about derma rolling, good information and products are available.

I've had some decent progress when using Bio Oil, but my stretch marks didn't get so bad. Mostly due to weight gain. There are several oils like jojoba that can be very beneficial in skin care.
