No one can answer that. As far as your body's healing process it all depends on its ability to regenerate and your diet and hydration. MSM is a helping tool but will not do much if you do not change your diet. Your body needs alkaline dominance, foods with less acid byproduct (fruits, vegetables, leafy greens) and hydration. Hydration is a very big key! The more your body eliminates toxins the faster it can heal. So start your day with watermelon, green smoothies.... drink 3L of water with lemon a day, use MSM. Remove most harmful foods from your diet (foods that accumulate toxins and add fat) which are dairy, processed foods, hydrogenated oils, eat less meat if any and keep fat low. The less fat you eat, they faster you will clean your lymphatic system and thus your stretch marks and excess skin. Workout is a good tool as well as you will stimulate the muscle growth. So tackle it from all angles and do think so much about your marks as about the overall healthy lifestyle. Think in terms of puttintg in colorful foods, lots of liquid and eliminating tons. Wishing you all the best! :)

I will be honest with you. When I was purchasing this item I didn't think about "stretch marks" and I don't have any stretch marks so I don't really know. I'm so sorry that you are not getting the answer you want but I'm just being honest. I hope someone will answer your question. You have a bless day.

For me it hasn't not made any impacts on my stretch marks (caused by loosing weight), but everyone is different so it could help depending on how old the scars are

It claims to minimize these skin discolorations, which I am trying to do right now by applying to the patch every morning. Since I have just begun the focused treatment I cannot say whether it is successful, but certainly worth a try. It has helped my skin in other ways, so I am hopeful. Will follow-up after a month or so.

You certainly can use it, but I personally don't think it will diminish stretch marks, it seems to only help with prevention.

Hi cjsw, Hmm, I'm not sure on stretch marks. It just seems to take have taken the pink out of my scars which are on the surface. Probably just dermabrasion would do that (ouch!). Wish I could help ya.

no it doesn't get rid of stretch marks, but it does reduce visibility some.

My husband started seeing a difference after three weeks now that its been a little more than a month I've noticed a big difference. The stretch marks themselves have reduced in size, they are not completely gone but like I said they have gotten smaller.

I have used this on stretch marks. It soothed the marks and lightened the color.

I'm not really sure, Evelyn. I haven't had any stretch marks yet and I've been using Burt's Bees as preventative care. I do use Mederma scar cream though for some scarring I have. I've had two doctors tell me that they refer Mederma to people who are trying to reduce the visibility of their stretch marks. I'd recommend Mederma! It has been helpful for my scars so far and I'll use it if I end up getting any stretch marks. You have to use it repeatedly though, so get ready to make a routine of it.

I think it's worth trying. Everyone's skin is different. It may lighten them up. For me, As soon as I found out I was pregnant I started using it. It worked for my pre stretch marks. Good luck!

I started to notice a difference (they got a little lighter) in about a month or two. I also have very light skin just as a side note incase that makes a difference. I still have stretchmarks but I also didn't consistantly try use it EVERY day but I have a friend who did and it worked much better, also my stretchmarks are very deep which I think contributes to how long and dedicated u have to be so keep that all in mind when expecting results. I'd say 3 months tops u should see some kind of a difference :)

Yes, it does. Its very good for fading out dark spots and stretch marks. For me, I noticed a difference within a week but I would say the process takes one to two weeks to notice a difference in your skin.

I'm sure it can be used for anything as a preventative but for existing stretch marks, in my experience, it doesn't alter them or better them in any way. In terms of covering up existing stretch marks, I've had great luck with the tanning salon either bed tanning or spray tanning. It has lightened them significantly and I forget they're there. Hope that helps :)
