Healing Natural Oils H-Stretch Marks Formula Review

This is a review of Healing Natural Oils’ H-Stretch Marks Formula. This stretch mark treatment is designed to help fade stretch marks. It uses a combination of natural ingredients, such as plant-based oils, to increase collagen and promote smoother, softer skin. Continue reading to determine whether this stretch mark system is right for you.

 

 

 

Ingredients

  • Corylus avellana seed oil
  • Simmondsia cinensis seed oil
  • Rosehip seed oil
  • Lavandula officinalis flower oil
  • Daucus carota sativa seed oil
  • Pogostem cablin leaf oil

All ingredients are completely natural plant extracts, which may be beneficial for customers looking for a natural treatment for stretch marks on the belly, thighs, or other areas. However, this product does contain essential oils which can be potentially irritating.

Dosage

Customers are instructed to apply the treatment to affected areas at least once per day. It should be rubbed fully into skin for maximum results.

Possible Side Effects

No potential side effects are listed, and because of the natural ingredients the manufacturer states that it safe for sensitive skin. However, many of the ingredients included in this product are essential oils, which have been known to cause irritation in certain individuals.

Price

Healing Natural Oils’ H-Stretch Marks Formula costs $34.95 for 1.12 ounces. This is a fairly moderate price for a stretch mark treatment, and the potent nature of oils means that only a small amount of product should be needed per application. However, the low price does raise some doubt about the quality of the product.

Guarantee

Natural Healing Oils’ H-Stretch Mark Formula comes with a 90 day money-back guarantee. There are no restrictions on this guarantee, so if you are unhappy for any reason the product may be returned for a full refund. You simply mail the product back to the manufacturer along with your invoice or email confirmation, and you will be credited back immediately. This helps provide peace of mind, and dose help build faith in the quality of the product.

The manufacturer website contains several reviews of the product, with overwhelmingly positive feedback. Many customers confirmed that this product does fade stretch marks with consistent use. Reviewers reported positive results whether their stretch marks were the result of pregnancy, weight gain, or growth spurts. Both men and women reported seeing effects within four weeks of beginning their treatment.

Conclusion

The H-Stretch Marks Formula by Healing Natural Oils contains few ingredients, and is completely plant-based, which makes it a good option for those seeking a natural stretch mark treatment. Customers report that the product is effective at fading stretch marks and improving the appearance of skin, and the 90 day product guarantee makes this seem a safe purchasing choice. The product is more expensive than some other stretch mark creams, and only a small amount of product is included in the package. It also contains essential oils, which have a higher risk for irritation than some other plant-based ingredients, despite the manufacturer’s claim that this product is safe for sensitive skin.

Made-4-Baby Belly Oil Review

If you love a product with a story as much as I do, then this Made-4-Baby Belly Oil For Pregnancy Stretch Marks review should really turn you on!
First of all the company is great, they work in association with women’s cooperatives in support of the rights of the workers who supply the natural ingredients they use. Secondly the product is fantastic, with only the most natural organic goodies included. This oil aims at repairing and preventing stretch marks by giving a healthy dose of vitamins and oils to your skin to promote natural cell regeneration, helping your body to protect itself.

Ingredients

So marvellous! It’s just so rare to see such a short list of ingredients, and with so few synthetic constituents with numbers in their names! Just four essential oils goes into this fantastic belly oil. You’ll find that this also means that you carry about the most fantastic, calming fragrance with you all day.

Dosage

Dosage really doesn’t apply here, all of the ingredients are naturally goodies, and the oil is developed for use during pregnancy (though it works well all year round).
If you are using a stretch mark product with a strict dose, then do make sure to check that it is safe during pregnancy.

Potential Side-Effects

Unless you have a very particular allergy to one of these four ingredients, then there is nothing to worry about regarding side-effects when using the Made-4-Baby stretch mark belly oil.

Price

The price is, in my humble opinion, an absolute steal! Advertised for $25 on their site, the product really does exceed expectations. The price tag on products with such premium natural ingredients; from such concerned philanthropic companies; with such charming design and packaging; is generally through the roof. The price is one of the most eye-catching features of this stretch mark product, a truly modest price for a product you would expect from top of the range options.

Guarantee

Unfortunately no warranty or guarantee is offered by Made4Baby on any product, including the Pregnancy Stretch Mark Oil.  However the product doesn’t carry the price tag of those which usually do offer one. Also I should add, the product really is a ‘what you see is what you get’ deal. No nasties, and no pollutants, ethically sourced, with only the finest natural plant oils. No stretch mark product can guarantee success for preventing or repairing all stretch marks, some people suffer more severely than others. If you believe that a natural remedy is your most healthy and best chance though, this pregnancy belly oil gets the thumbs up, guaranteed!

Conclusion

The biggest pros of the made-4-baby oil have to be the minimalist ingredients list, and the really great price which is half of what you might pay elsewhere.
On the down side none of the ingredients pack a particularly powerful punch as all of the ingredients are simply essential oils. Whether or not this type of product has much potential with severe stretch mark healing is quite uncertain. And yet again we have a product which is without any type of guarantee to protect your purchase.

Mothercare It’s Your Body Stretch Mark Cream Review

This is a review of the Mothercare It’s Your Body Stretch Mark Cream. This cream contains sweet almond oil and shea butter, and was designed by the manufacturer to help prevent stretch marks during pregnancy. The manufacturer claims that consistent use will help to keep skin supple and soft during pregnancy by improving skin elasticity. Read on to learn about the formulation and whether this is the right product to help you maintain a smooth stomach during pregnancy.

Ingredients

This product contains:

Sweet Almond Oil

Shea Butter

Cocoa Seed Butter

Jojoba Seed Oil

Water

Glyceryl Stearate

PEG-100 Stearate

Cyclopentasiloxane

Fragrance

Polysorbate 60

Cetearyl Alcohol

Glycerin

Cetyl Alcohol

Polyacrylamide

C13-14 Isoparaffin

Laureth-7

Carbomer

Disodium EDTA

Sodium Hydroxide Phenoxyethanol

Methylparaben

Ethylparaben

Butylparaben

Propylparaben

Please note that while the main ingredients are known to be moisturizing, this product does contain fragrance, along with cetearyl and cetyl alcohol. These ingredients have been known to cause irritation in certain individuals.

Dosage

The manufacturer recommends applying this product twice daily for maximum effectiveness. After researching the dosage, we were unable to find a recommended amount of product to use during each application.

Possible Side Effects

No side effects are listed, and the product is advertised as dermatologist tested, hypoallergenic, and safe for sensitive skin.

Price

This product is £4.99 on the manufacturer website. This price is for 200 ml, and is less expensive than many other stretch mark creams. The low price is cause to question the effectiveness of the product.

Guarantee

The manufacturer does not offer any guarantee for the product, which may be concerning for some consumers. They do advertise a ‘hassle-free’ return policy, but returned items must be unused and returned within 28 days. They do not cover shipping costs for returning the product, and state toiletries are not included in this return policy. This can cause doubt about the quality of the cream. Even though the manufacturer does not offer a guarantee, the product site does contain multiple positive reviews about the product’s effectiveness. Previous customers state that it aided in preventing stretch marks, and had a pleasant smell and texture. The overwhelmingly positive feedback makes this seem a safe purchasing choice.

Conclusion

Mothercare It’s My Body Stretch Mark Cream contains several moisturizing ingredients such as sweet almond oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter. It is less expensive than many other stretch mark creams, and has many positive reviews, which can help inspire confidence that this is a cost-effective option for treating stretch marks. The manufacturer does not list the percentages for the active ingredients, so it can not be known whether the concentration of ingredients is comparable to other creams. It also contains some ingredients that may be potentially irritating, even though it is listed as hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. The product also does not come with any sort of guarantee, which can be a problem for many consumers who want to be certain they are selecting a quality product.

Pureen Thinking About Baby and You Stretch Mark Lotion Review

So I thought I should write a Pureen stretch mark lotion review, since I’d been using the product for three months. The Pureen product claims to perform the functions of three products simultaneously, and so was immediately attractive. Firstly a blend of cocoa and shea butter moisturize and nourish the dry skin from the surface. Second the damaged dermis (the second layer of our skin) which cause stretch marks are rejuvenated with a boost of added (naturally occurring) collagen and elastin. Third added vitamins aim to give life back to all of your skin, and help to protect against future scarring.

Ingredients

  • DI Water
  • Cetyl Alcohol
  • Glyceryl Stearate
  • PEG-75 Stearate
  • Ceteth-20
  • Steareth-20
  • Dimethicone
  • Rosehip Seed Oil
  • Cocoa Butter
  • Shea Butter
  • Vitamin E
  • Cetearyl Alcohol
  • Ceteareth-20
  • Sweet Almond Oil
  • Glycerine
  • Soluble Collagen
  • Hydrolyzed Elastin
  • Titanium Dioxide
  • Acrylates/C10-C30
  • Cetearyl Alcohol
  • Methyl Paraben
  • Propyl paraben
  • Fragrance
  • Sodium Hydroxide

The active ingredients are the elastin and collagen, two of the most important proteins found naturally in the skin, and so totally healthy. One concern for sensitive skin is that fragrances may cause irritation. Another strange thing I’d definitely like to point out is that on the Pureen description the product is advertised as “paraben free”, but on the ingredients page both methyl and propyl paraben are present.

Dosage

No need to worry about dosage with this formula, it is designed to be used during pregnancy and can be used for your entire term. If you find yourself to be having a particularly bad problem you can apply generously without concern, and the cream really sinks into the skin, so no need to worry about seeing oily residue left on clothes.

Potential Side-Effects

You are unlikely to have any problem with this cream unless you’re extremely sensitive to fragrances.

Price

The product is Malaysian and so price can very much vary depending on supplier. Generally though it is really very affordable, and I think I picked my 150 ml up for less than $25! For all of the active ingredients, and with all the Pureen stretch mark lotion cream offers, the price really can’t be argued with, exceptional value even for it’s moisturising qualities alone.

Guarantee

No guarantee is offered by Pureen, but don’t let this turn you off. Products which offer guarantees are usually the more expensive choices, and for the money you might think it worth a risk to try out the cream.

Conclusion

The active ingredients are natural and healthy, and it seems to really deliver on it’s three promises to moisturise, repair, and protect.
Because the Pureen cream is designed for use during pregnancy, it might be too delicate for all year use. So if you are looking for a strong formula, this isn’t the choice for you. Also it did really shock me when I saw “paraben-free” clearly on one page of their site, and the contradiction on the ingredients page! Also no guarantee is offered with this product, which is a little disappointing.

Zenmed Stretta Review

Welcome to our review for the Zenmed Stretta, a cream packed full of natural goodies intended to help repair and protect your skin. Zenmed Stretta is a professional dermatological formula which promises not only to reconstruct the broken tissue which become stretch marks, but also claims to be able to prevent the development of new marks.
The Zenmed Stretta contains a high concentration of Glycolic Acid which dermatologists use to help reduce wrinkles, acne and associated scarring, as well as for a range of skin conditions. Glycolic acid is really popular in dermatology, but should be avoided during pregnancy.
Below is plenty of info worth reading for anyone considering buying the Stretta.

Ingredients

  • Purified Water
  • Glycolic Acid
  • Octyl Palmitate
  • Organic Sunflower Oil
  • Vegetable Glycerin
  • Witch Hazel
  • Cetyl Alcohol
  • TEA Stearate
  • Glyceryl Stearate
  • Vitamin E
  • Dimethicone
  • Cocoa Butter
  • Allantoin
  • Organic Aloe Vera Gel
  • Centillica Asiatica
  • Panthenol
  • Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
  • Methyl & Propyl Paraben
  • Diazolidinyl Urea
  • Lavender Essential Oil
  • Ylang Ylang Essential Oil
  • Lime Essential Oil
  • Lemon Essential Oil

As cosmetics go Zenmed really does go far to offer a truly natural formula. The active ingredient for tightening and repairing deep layers of your skin is the glycolic acid, which is extremely potent in this particular product. Everything that goes into Stretta which can be, is organic, and it is brimming with natural extracts and essential oils which have soothing, calming qualities. You will also find added vitamins which work toward keeping your skin vitalized, and cocoa butter to give a gorgeous aroma.

Dosage

There is no specific recommended dosage with the product. The required quantity will depend on a few factors, your body size, severity of your imperfections, and size of the affected area.
You should apply modestly at first, and cover the entire area which you wish to treat. If all is immediately absorbed without residual moisture being left then continue to apply.

Potential Side-Effects

Those with very sensitive skin may experience a little redness, or itchiness. If so do not continue to apply. Due to the strength of the product you should only apply to those areas prone to stretch marks like: hips, thighs, bums and breasts, but do avoid use on more sensitive areas including the face and around the nipple.
The product is ideal for post-pregnancy marks, though should not be used during the term of pregnancy.

Price

Direct from the Zenmed website the Stretta stretch mark treatment is $50 for a 50 ml bottle. On Amazon the Stretta starts at $60 plus delivery, but can be found at up to half price at selected times, for only $30.

Guarantee

All Zenmed products come with their ’60 day people pleaser guarantee’. That’s two full months to ensure that you have had time to run a full course of treatment before deciding how you feel about the product. Very reassuring from a customer’s perspective.

Conclusion

If you are looking for a premium and potent cream for stretch marks then Zenmed Stretta is really worthwhile. Additionally if you are an Eco warrior you’ll love the ingredients inside, as well as the minimal packaging outside, none of their products are tested on animals, and all are 100% recyclable.
On the downside, the product is a little on the pricey side. Also it cannot be used on more sensitive areas, which are often the worst effected in bad cases of stretch marks, so you may be left needing to buy another product to compensate.

Robelyn Labs Elastin3 Advanced Stretch Mark Prevention Therapy Review

The following review is of Robelyn Labs Elastin3 Advanced Stretch Mark Prevention Treatment. This cream claims to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and wrinkles to give a smoother and more useful appearance to skin. It also claims to work on women of all ages and on all skin types.

Ingredients

  • De-mineralized Spring Water
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Glycerine
  • Stearic Acid
  • Cetyl Alcohol
  • Myristyl Stearate
  • Glyceryl Monostearate
  • Acetyl Hexapeptide 3
  • Soy Protein
  • Soluble Collage
  • Hydrolyzed Elastin
  • Met Hylparaben
  • Propylparaben
  • Trie Hanolamine
  • Microcrystalline Cellulose
  • Octylmethoxycinnamate
  • Imidazolidinyl Urea
  • Simet Hicone
  • Essential Oil of White Flowers

Acetyl Hexapeptide inhibits the contraction of surface muscles, which allows elastin and collagen to penetrate deeper in order to repair scars and stretch marks. Hydrolyzed Collagen, Complex Soy Extract and Elastin Concentrate work to repair, reduce and prevent stretch marks. This product is unsuitable for those with a soy allergy.

Dosage

Elastin3 Advanced Stretch Mark Prevention Therapy should be generously applied to and affected area that has been cleaned and dried. The cream should be vigorously massaged into the skin using an upward motion. For best results, this cream should be used two to three times a day.

Possible Side Effects

Robelyn Labs do not attach any specific side effects to Elastin3 Advanced Stretch Mark Prevention Therapy. However, there is a warning for nursing mothers to ensure that the cream is not used on an area where a baby may be able to ingest it. This shows that there may be severe effects if the product is ingested. Remember that the product is for external  use only and that if it disagrees with you, you should seek the assistance of a physician and stop using the cream straight away.

Price

The regular price from the manufacturer of an 8oz tube of this stretch mark treatment is $79.95. The sale price is $59.95. This product is of good value as there is a lot of cream contained in the tube for this price. However, at the time of writing Elastin3 Advanced Stretch Mark Prevention Therapy was sold out. It is possible to subscribe to a regular newsletter to receive promotional offers. This company adds a 7% sales tax to orders billed or shipped to residents of New Jersey.

Guarantee

This company has a 60-day money back guarantee. This means that the product is returnable within 60 days of purchase for a refund. This refund will not include shipping and handling charges and if multiple tubes are returned then only one tube is allowed to be open. The remaining tubes must have a factory seal still in place or they will not be refunded. The original receipt or a copy of it is also required. Robelyn Labs provide a long list of positive testimonials from their customers to demonstrate the massive satisfaction that the product has provided. Judging by the many comments, this cream is highly effective at hiding the appearance of stretch marks.

Conclusion

This product appears to be quite popular as it has sold out and it seems to be effective too judging by the high praise that it has received from customers. The guarantee is fair although it has a number of strict guidelines that must be followed. The time to return an item is long enough and shows that Robelyn Labs have faith in the effectiveness of Elastin3 Advanced Stretch Mark Prevention Therapy.  However, the side effects that may occur while using this product are unknown and the product definitely contains one possible allergen, soy. This means that this product is unsuitable for some people. The price seems acceptable considering how much of the product is contained in a tube although when sold at a regular price, the product may prove to be too expensive for long-term use. Overall, Elastin3 Advanced Stretch Mark Prevention Therapy seems to be a high quality product although it may not suit everyone.

180 Cosmetics Stretch Mark Solution Review

Stretch Mark Solution by 180 Cosmetics will be reviewed below. This product is designed to prevent stretch marks before pregnancy and to repair them after pregnancy or weight loss. Stretch Mark Solution restores firmness and elasticity to the skin as well as moisturizing, revitalizing and nourishing it. By reading the review below, you can discover its ingredients and what we make of it.

Ingredients

  • Aqua
  • Cetearyl Alcohol
  • Cetearyl Glucoside
  • Panthenol
  • Marrubium Vulgare Extract
  • Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5
  • Paullinia Cupana Seed Extract
  • Carnitine
  • Microcrystalline Cellulose
  • Cysteic Acid
  • Pantetheine Sulfonate
  • Buddleja Davidii Extract
  • Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Extract
  • Hydrolyzed Wheat Gluten
  • Ceratonia Siliqua Gum
  • Algae Extract
  • Pullulan
  • Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic acid)
  • Magnesium Ascorbil Phosphate
  • Fragrance
  • Sorbic Acid
  • Benzyl Alcohol

Antioxidants work to keep the skin free of toxins while the other active ingredients work together to repair stretched skin and prevent the development of more stretch marks through cell regeneration. Collagen production is boosted, promoting thicker and smoother appearing skin and nourish the skin as well. Stretch Mark Solution is free from Parabens, Formaldehyde, Formalin, Phthalates, Petro-chemicals, colors, dyes and Triclosan

Dosage

A thin layer of this solution should be massaged into affected areas in firm, circular motions until full absorption once or twice a day. You should not apply more than a thin layer of the solution or you will be unable to absorb the entire product. Use as directed.

Possible Side Effects

No side effects are listed although those who may have reactions to any of the ingredients are told to avoid this product. This infers that a possible adverse effect is an allergic reaction. Be sure to read the ingredients of the solution carefully and be aware that some possible allergens may be listed under unfamiliar names. If a product disagrees with you then you should always stop taking it immediately and seek the aid of a medical professional.

Price

A 5.1oz or 150ml tube of Stretch Mark Solution costs $34.49 with an additional charge for shipping when bought from the manufacturer. Bought from a retailer, the price may prove to be better as one seller on Amazon offers it for $19.99 but it is unlikely to be reputable. It is best to buy a product directly from the company that manufactures it or from a trusted retailer.

Guarantee

180 Cosmetics do not appear to have a guarantee or a returns policy of any kind. As a result, there is no certainty of being able to return the product for a refund if it does not work for you. If you do buy a product and do not know how to return it then you should contact the manufacturer directly as they should have a customer service in place to answer any queries. It may be advisable to contact the manufacturer prior to purchase to ensure there is no disappointment or discontentment at a later stage. Stretch Mark Solution has no reviews on 180 Cosmetics’ website. While some reviews can be found from the Amazon Seller named earlier, the seller is of unknown repute and so there is no guarantee that the genuine product is being sold to customers. Consequently, there is no way to determine product efficiency or customer satisfaction.

Conclusion

This product is lacking in a number of areas but we will look at its plus points. Its price is reasonable when compared to similar stretch mark treatments available and seems easy to use. It is free from many harmful chemicals and toxins that may be used in similar products so it should be good for your skin. However, very little positive information is available about the product and what it does aside from the claims made by the manufacturer. There is no guarantee or reviews of this solution. The information about possible side effects is severely lacking and it is not known based on the ingredients whether this product could be effectively. Ultimately, it may be wise to avoid this product because there are such large gaps in the information provided.

Apothederm Stretch Mark Cream Review

Apothederm Stretch Mark Cream will be considered in the below review. It is meant to work on all stretch marks regardless of age and reduce their appearance. It also improves skin smoothness, texture and firmness while moisturizing the skin and making the skin tone even. By reading on, you can learn about ingredients and see if we think this cream will do what it is supposed to do.

Ingredients

  • Aqua (water)
  • Glycerin
  • Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter)
  • Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil
  • Cetyl Alcohol
  • Glyceryl Stearate
  • Cyclopentasiloxane
  • PPG-3 Benzyl Ether Myristate
  • Tocopheryl Acetate
  • Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter
  • Sodium Hyaluronate
  • Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
  • Panthenol
  • Pichia/Resveratrol Ferment Extract
  • Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract
  • Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil
  • Bisabolol
  • Glucosamine
  • HCL Algae Extract
  • Yeast Extract
  • Heptapeptide-7
  • Glycine
  • Alanine
  • Isoleucine
  • Leucine
  • Urea
  • Butylene Glycol
  • Phenoxyethanol
  • Caprylyl Glycol
  • Hexylene Glycol
  • Ethylhexylglcerin
  • Xanthan Gum

Heptapeptide-7 is made up of seven amino acids that bolster collagen and support tissue, which will break down naturally once their job is fulfilled. Shea Butter returns moisture to the skin. Meadowfoam Seed Oil stops the loss of moisture. Olive Fruit Oil and Cocoa Seed Butter keep the skin soft and hydrated. Sodium Hyaluronate also keeps the skin hydrated. Pichia/Resveratrol Ferment Extract and Licorice Root Extract reduce the discoloration of stretch marks. May contain derivatives of soy.

Dosage

Stretch Mark Cream should be used every day in the morning and evening by rubbing it into the affected areas in a circular motion.

Possible Side Effects

No warnings are placed on the product, other than the fact it should be kept out of your eyes. Worryingly, there is a possibility of there being derivatives of the allergen soy in the ingredients although this is uncertain because the company have not explained from where some of their ingredients have been sourced. It is advised that you should not use this cream while pregnant, as it has not been tested on pregnant women so the possible reactions are not known. A health care professional should be consulted in the event of a reaction occurring and you should cease use of the product as well.

Price

A 5.7oz tube of Apothederm Stretch Mark Cream costs $89.95. This seems a bit steep but you do not have to pay for shipping, as it is free when you place an order over $75. This only applies to the U.S., as international shipping is not available at this time. Orders placed for addresses in Washington State will have a sales tax added onto their order.

Guarantee

Apothederm has a returns policy that allows you to return a product within 30 days of placing an order if you are dissatisfied with the product you receive. You have to contact Customer Service for a RGA number to write on the return package. All item content must be returned including instructions or it may affect your discount. You are limited to one return per product or SKU. If the product you receive is damaged, damaged packaging or products must be returned to the company. If you want to claim a shortage, you have to contact them within five days of receiving the product. Shipping charges are not included in the refund. There are no reviews from customers. Instead, Apothederm provides an independent study of 30 people that was carried out by a dermatologist that shows a high level of success with the product. However, the sample size is too small to make an accurate judgement on its effectiveness.

Conclusion

This product is easy to use and seems to have produced good results judging by the study that was carried out. There is a returns policy, which means that you can feel safe trying the product out. However, if you find that the product works for you, you might decide that the price does not. The price seems excessive and for Washington State customers there is an extra charge that makes it cost even more. It would be difficult to sustain long-term use of this cream at this price. The guarantee is restrictive though as you have only a small window of opportunity to try and return the product if it is not for you. The product’s effectiveness is not fully verified both without reviews and without lots of them to see how the product worked for a broad range of people. This cream might just be too damaging to the pocket without a guarantee of its effectiveness to meet your needs.

Avishi Organics Intensive Stretch Mark Oil Review

Below you will find a review of Avishi Organics Intensive Stretch Mark Oil. This oil causes the visibility of stretch marks to diminish by encouraging the skin to renew itself. It works to prevent the formation of stretch marks during pregnancy while smoothing the skin and enhancing its elasticity. By reading further on, you can learn about this oil’s ingredients and about our thoughts concerning it.

Ingredients

  • Aloe Barbadensis (Organic Aloe) Oil
  • Rosa mosqueta (Organic Rosehip) Seed Oil
  • Calendula officinalis (Organic Calendula) infused in Olea europaea (Organic Olive) Oil
  • Macadamia integrifolia (Organic Macadamia Nut) Oil
  • Tocopherol (non-GMO Vitamin E)
  • Borago officinalis (Organic Borage) Oil
  • Centella asiantica (Organic Gotu Kola Leaf) infused in Olea europaea (Organic Olive) Oil
  • Caulophyllum inophyllum (Organic Tamanu) Foraha Oil
  • Lavandula angustifolia (Organic Bulgaria Lavender) Essential Oil
  • Hippophae Rhamnoides (Organic Sea Buckthorn) Oil
  • Helichrysum itallicum (Organic Helichrysum) Essential Oil

Rosehip Seed Oil and Helichrysum Italicum are both essential oils that cause better skin elasticity, reduce scarring and regenerate the cells of the skin. Tamanu Oil helps with irritation and inflammation of the skin by soothing it. Seabuckthorn Oil contains concentrations of vitamins A, C and E, flavonoids, essential fatty acids and carotenoids, which work to repair damaged skin cells. Borage seed oil is a source of a fatty acid that returns smoothness and moisture to the skin and accelerates the skin’s healing process. Gotu Kola invigorates skin and its underlying connective tissues while strengthening skin tissue and caring for the connective tissues. This oil is free from colors, chemicals, fragrances, parabens, sulfates and other toxins.

Dosage

Intensive Organic Repair Oil ought to be put on twice a day for at least three months by massaging in circular motions into the affected areas until absorption occurs. Areas like the breasts, hips, thighs, buttocks, lower back and abdomen can be treated from the first trimester onwards during pregnancy. It should not be used on broken skin.

Possible Side Effects

Avishi Organics consider the event of a skin irritation caused by this oil to be unlikely. There do not appear to be any ingredients that are allergens but that does not mean that someone might not have an intolerance to certain ingredients. The use of the oil should be continued if any sort of reaction happens and a health professional should be consulted as soon as possible.

Price

A 100ml bottle of Intensive Stretch Mark Oil will set you back $38.50. There do not seem to be any additional hidden charges and the product is far cheaper than many other stretch mark treatments available. The manufacturer claims that only quality ingredients are used and that they are not watered down but the price does not seem to fit this claim. This price may reflect a poorer quality product than advertised.

Guarantee

Avishi Organics have no clear guarantee in place. It may be possible to return the oil for a refund by contacting the customer service of the customer service but this is not certain. A lack of guarantee suggests a lack of confidence in this product. A few customer reviews praise the product and seem to suggest that it has been quite effective for them.

Conclusion

Intensive Stretch Mark Oil seems to be made with natural and safe ingredients, which are also organic. This means that you will not be using any toxins or unsafe substances on your skin if you use this oil. The product has been positively reviewed by people who have used it so it seems to be effective but only a very small group have left reviews and it may have worked for them but not worked for others. The price seems like good value but again, the effectiveness of the oil is unknown and so it may be a very expensive placebo or weak version of a much better alternative. The product also lacks a guarantee, which seems to point to a lack of faith in the product’s effectiveness. For these reasons of uncertainty, it may be better to avoid this product and try something different.

The ingredients in TriLASTIN-HT Hydro-Thermal Accelerator causes the pores to open and contains an agent that will enhance penetration of the product when it binds with TriLASTIN-SR. TriLASTIN reduces the visibility of stretch marks by encouraging collagen and elastin to regenerate in the skin, which causes the skin to thicken and hide the scarring. Vitamins E, C, B3, B5 and B6 nourish the skin. The skin is also detoxified and made firmer by these ingredients. This product contains soy, which is an allergen. These creams are Paraben-free.

Dosage

The products should be used twice a day. The area to be treated should be washed and dried and then TriLASTIN-HT should be applied. After waiting a minute, TriLASTIN-SR should be applied in circular motions until it is absorbed into the skin. If used as told, the tube should last between 4 and 6 weeks.

Possible Side Effects

EC Research did not name any adverse effects that their products might cause, which is perturbing as there is an allergen contained in their product. Although it is claimed that these products are hypoallergenic, soy is contained in them and could cause an allergic reaction. People with such an allergy may suffer from a rash in the exposed area or they may have a more severe reaction depending on the nature of their allergy. Anyone who experiences a reaction of any sort should consult with a doctor and stop using the product immediately.

Price

Ordinarily, TriLASTIN-SR Maximum Strength Mark Cream would cost $79 alone and TriLASTIN-HT Hydro-Thermal Accelerator would cost $19.

Conclusion

This product is really two so the price is not terrible so it is fair value for money, if it works. However, a number of extra charges are included that are not readily specified by the manufacturer prior to purchase. Reviews and photographs concerning the use of this product seem to suggest that it is highly effective although it does not seem to work for everyone. For those who find that the product is not for them, they are left with ample time to try it and return it if dissatisfied with the results. It is difficult to judge the effectiveness of this cream based on the ingredients as the quantities of each are not mentioned. However, the ingredients do show that there is a potential allergen in this product, which contains soy and possibly soy-derived ingredients. These creams have been highly received by most people but that does not mean that they will work for you.
