I’ve struggled with pretty dark stretch marks after gaining weight, Dermalmd is the only stretch mark product that makes them 90% disappear. I apply the cream almost every day and after two weeks there was a major difference. I did notice if you stop using it for a while they will come back but not as dark, so I recommend to keep using it.
