Glyderm Stretch Mark Cream Review

This week for our review we’re taking a look at the Stretch Mark Cream from Gly Derm. The formula focuses on two important proteins, collagen, and elastin. Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies, and essentially holds our body together, elastin makes our skin flexible, key for times when the body gets larger or smaller. By strengthening, and promoting regeneration of these key proteins Glyderm claims it can reduce the size of existing stretch marks, help with colouration, and prevent new stretch marks from appearing. The product should also tone your skin, making it tighter and more elastic. Glyderm are all about research, and rigorously test their products in clinical studies which you can find on their website. To know more about the ingredients, and effectiveness, just read on.

Ingredients

  • Aqua
  • Paraffinum Liquidum
  • Cetearyl isononanoate
  • Sorbitol
  • Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil
  • Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
  • Pentaerythrityl tetrabehenate
  • C14-22 alcohols
  • Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/
  • Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
  • Disodium phosphate
  • Polyisobutene
  • Glucose
  • C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside
  • Citric Acid
  • Asiaticoside
  • Asiatic acid
  • Madecassic acid
  • Sorbitan isostearate
  • Potassium thiocyanate
  • Potassium iodide
  • Sodium chloride
  • Lactoperoxidase
  • Glucose oxidase
  • Centella Asiatica Extract

The active ingredients include a nourishing dose of shea butter, and some sweet almond oil, as well as other natural products including Centella asiatica. We should note that many of these ingredients are not the most natural, Centella asiatica is possibly not safe during pregnancy, as not enough is known about its use. Potassium Iodide in high enough doses may cause swelling of the salivary glands, and rashes, as well as a metallic taste in the mouth.

Dosage

Apply liberally daily onto clean, dry skin, twice a day. Depending on the severity of the scarring, and size of the area, you may want to adjust and use more or less on these areas.

Potential Side-Effects

As mentioned there are some associated concerns regarding a handful of ingredients in the Glyderm stretch mark cream. In particular, be aware that an allergic reaction to potassium iodide can have very serious effects.

Price

The best place to buy the Glyderm range seems to be Amazon where it retails for $35. We haven’t found any promotional codes or discounts for this product, unfortunately.

Guarantee

No information was available about product guarantees, which probably isn’t the best sign.

Conclusion

Overall the Glyderm product does seem to have some strong points; the product is fairly well rated in forums and so on. Also and the price is fairly low. The overall impression of Glyderm’s stretch mark cream though is a negative one.
The product is probably more or less fine to use, but the ingredients do seem far less thought out than most other products on the market. Also little information is available from Glyderm about important considerations. A quick web search tells me that some of the ingredients inside shouldn’t be used when pregnant, but we can’t see any information relating to pregnancy on their website. The same turns out to be the case for their product guarantee, it’s very difficult to find anything concrete online about it. It really would be nice to have some more information about this cream to make a better judgement.

Épique Beauty Stretch Mark Cream Review

This is our Épique Beauty Intensive Stretch Mark Cream review. The Épique stretch mark cream is a formula designed to help with stretch marks and scarring, particularly during pregnancy. It claims to tighten, moisturise, and nourish skin, repairing and protecting against later problems by feeding your skin a rich diet of natural oils and butters to encourage regeneration of cells, and increased collagen production.

For more about ingredients, prices, and more, please read on.

 

Ingredients

The active ingredients are all natural miracles for moisturising deep within your skin’s layers and include a range of natural butters, as well as essential oil extracts which are not only a dream for your health, but which smell incredible too. The Aloe leaf juice leaves a warming, massaging effect when applied, and works as a great accompaniment or replacement to deionized water as the first ingredient.

Full ingredients list:

  • Deionized Water
  • Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
  • Medium Chain Triglycerides
  • Shea Butter
  • Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
  • Glyceryl Stearate
  • Glycerin
  • Stearic Acid
  • Organic Olive Oil
  • Cetyl Alcohol
  • Cocoa Butter
  • Mango Butter
  • Rose Hip Seed Oil
  • Grapefruit Seed extract
  • Sodium
  • Hydroxymethylglycinate
  • Tocopheryl Acetate
  • Orange Oil
  • Potassium Sorbate
  • Disodium EDTA
  • Sodium Hydroxide
  • Organic olive Oil
  • Aloe
  • Tocopheryl Acetate
  • Jojoba Oil
  • Panthenol

Dosage

It’s hard to nail down a precise daily dosage, and it isn’t really necessary to. The dose will depend on your size, the amount of skin which is affected, and how many parts of your body need attention. The directions advise that you apply twice daily to freshly cleaned skin, by massaging gently.

Potential Side-Effects

There is really little risk with the Épique Beauty formula. You should always read the ingredients before you apply though, and if any irritation occurs you should immediately discontinue use.

Price

On the Épique website the product usually retails for $50. However, it is often available on promotion, and can be picked up for a modest $20!

Guarantee

This is another product that comes with a full warranty. If you simply find that the product doesn’t really work for you then you are never going to be stuck with it, and Épique are really lovely to deal with. Just send the product back in original packaging, and your money will be refunded, no questions.

Conclusion

Unlike other oil based options we’ve tried before, the stretch mark cream by Epique really does sink into the skin, which is great! Plus it means you’ll never find greasy residue rubbing off onto your clothing. And it does come complete with a money back guarantee.
However, while they clearly state their guarantee, there’s no indication anywhere of how long you have to return it. This might be a little worrying if you’ve been left dissatisfied. As with any cream, not everyone seems to have the desired results.
Without any specialist dermatological ingredients, $50 is fairly expensive for what is being offered. Many brands out there now are offering clinical products starting around the $50 mark. Due to these concerns, you might be better off searching a bit more for the stretch mark product best suited for your needs.

Derma E Stretch Mark Creme Review

This week our stretch mark review is going to be taking a look at the Derma E Stretch Mark Creme. The Derma E Creme has undertaken vigorous trials and found that around 75% of those who used the product found their skin to be visibly improved. The product aims to make skin supple, and elastic, while simultaneously targeting discolouration commonly found with stretch marks. All of this is and more is claimed by this super natural cream, so read on to find out more.

 

Ingredients

  • Purified Water (Aqua)
  • Propanediol (Zemea®)
  • Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
  • Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter
  • Cetyl Alcohol
  • Glycerin
  • Glyceryl Stearate Citrate
  • Glyceryl Stearate
  • Cetearyl Olivate
  • Sorbitan Olivate
  • Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid, Actimoist® Bio-1)
  • Organic Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract (1%)
  • Organic Argania Spinosa (Argan) Oil* (1%)
  • Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E)
  • Panthenol (Provitamin B5)
  • Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil
  • Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil
  • Elaeis Guineensis (Red Palm) Oil
  • Organic Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Fruit Butter* (.1%)
  • Allantoin
  • Potassium Cetyl Phosphate
  • Xanthan Gum
  • Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Essential Oil
  • Citrus Aurantium (Neroli) Essential Oil
  • Phenoxyethanol
  • Ethylhexylglycerin

There is little inside that isn’t an active ingredient for one reason or another. All of the finest oils, butters, and plant extracts pack this formula with hydrating, and skin strengthening qualities.
We would like to briefly mention Zemea. Zemea is the acting solvent which helps all of the other ingredients to blend and work together, and to find their way deep to the affected layers of skin. Zemea is an entirely new way of doing this without using anything unnatural, and really seems to be cutting edge in the cosmetic industry today.

Dosage

Derma E is a potent, yet balanced formula with all of the finest ingredients you can find in products aimed at relieving and protecting against stretch marks. There is no daily limit however, and this one can be used right through pregnancy.

Price

The price for a 4oz tube is incredible at under $20 direct from their site. You can also get 10% off when you buy more than one product at a time, as well as receiving free delivery. This is a real gem, a rare example of a more premium product without the premium price tag.

Guarantee

Derma E supports each and every item they sell by offering a complete 100% money back guarantee if you’re not absolutely satisfied. The only catch is that the guarantee is only valid for 45 days, so beware of that.

Conclusion

Overall the Derma E Stretch Mark Creme seems to have it all. The ingredients are state-of-the-art in natural cosmetics, the price is impressive, and they even guarantee the item for your satisfaction. This product is worth a go for anyone looking for a great stretch mark cream, the only exception perhaps being for those with long term problems. As with any creams that you see with water / aqua / purified water as the first ingredient, the formula is diluted to be delicate and for use in pregnancy. If you suffer from really severe existing marks, perhaps something slightly more potent could be recommended. Unfortunately their guarantee window is fairly small too.

CeraVe Intensive Stretch Mark Cream Review

CeraVe Intensive Stretch Mark Cream is a nourishing, and repairing formula fully charged with great aromas, and bundles of active ingredients. Here is our review after a 12-week course of treatment.
This product is immediately impressive. It comes packaged especially to protect the sensitive ingredients within, formulated to treat your skin and to combat the ageing process.

As with all stretch mark products, buyer beware. There are still no scientific guarantees that any product applied to the skin can “fix” stretch marks.

Ingredients

  • Purified Water
  • Glycerin
  • Cetearyl Alcohol
  • Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate
  • Ceteareth-20
  • Panthenol
  • Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter)
  • Prunus Domestica Seed Extract
  • Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed
  • Butter
  • Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed
  • Petrolatum
  • Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
  • Ceramide 3
  • Ceramide 6-II
  • Ceramide 1
  • Hyaluronic Acid
  • Niacinamide
  • Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
  • Calendula Officinalis Extract
  • Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5
  • Lactic Acid
  • Dimethicone
  • Salicylic Acid
  • Zinc Citrate
  • Sodium Citrate
  • Phenoxyethanol
  • Behentrimonium Methosulfate
  • Tocopheryl Acetate
  • Potassium Phosphate
  • Sodium PCA
  • Triethanolamine
  • Dipotassium Phosphate
  • Isopropyl Myristate
  • Ethylhexylglycerin
  • Sodium Hydroxide
  • Marrubium Vulgare Extract
  • Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate
  • Disodium EDTA
  • Phytosphingosine
  • Cholesterol
  • Carbomer
  • Xanthan Gum
  • 1,2-Hexanediol
  • Caprylyl Glycol

The ingredients list included in CeraVe Intensive Stretch Mark Cream is award winning, and features the very best of dermatological technology. There are plenty of natural oils, and MVE technology allows your skin’s cells to better hydrate your cells. Plus a dose of hyaluronic acid helps to retain the natural moisture of your body. Hyaluronic acid and oil really is the hottest thing in skincare right now, be sure to check it out. Note this product is free of any Parabens or Phthalates, and so caters well to more concerned customers. Finally, Ceramides are added to help with your body’s normal protective duties, to make sure your skin can nurture itself into the future.

Dosage

Make sure to apply this cream to the entire affected area, as well as other areas which are high risk for future development. You are advised to always apply after washing the area to be sure that only the cream sinks into your skin, and not any dirt picked up through the day! Twice per day is their recommendation, though applying liberally in the morning did the job for me.

Potential Side-Effects

Though there are no known side effects, always be sure to check labels, particularly if you suffer from allergies.

Price

At only $20, the CeraVe intensive stretch mark cream is a really great value.
Coupons are also available so be sure to check out their site to get the most for your money.
Note that the pot is quite small, only 5 oz, but you will start to see the benefits before you finish your first little tube.

Guarantee

Unlike many cosmetic products, no guarantee is offered by CeraVe on this product. This is a real shame, though all I would say is that the product is great value for money, so you needn’t fear too much.

Conclusion

The formula by CeraVe is award winning for it’s organic and natural ingredients list. It isn’t just what it does include though, it’s the things they leave out (including parabens) which are the strengths of the CeraVe product, and make it a popular choice for expecting mothers. Two things to note are that the product seems to function more in a preventative way, rather than offering much healing quality. Plus it’s a real bummer that they don’t offer a guarantee. As a result, you might be better off doing a little searching for the perfect stretch mark cream before committing to this purchase.

Carapex Professional Microdermabrasion Cream Review

If you are seeking an all in one skincare solution which can exfoliate, moisturize, strengthen, nourish, and repair your skin; all at once, then our Carapex Professional Microdermabrasion skin cream review is certainly worth a read.

The Carapex cream claims to cleanse blackheads, and to help colouration and scarring associated with acne and stretch marks. Below we’ve tried to get all of the key information to inform you as much as possible, so please read on for more!

 

Ingredients

Firstly we’d like to make clear what the Carapex product never includes. No chemicals, sulfates, fragrances, or colours are used, and Carapex takes a strong stand against using parabens, fragrances and colouring. There is also absolutely no testing on animals for Carapex products.

  • Deionized Water
  • Aluminium Silica
  • Glyceryl monostearate
  • Shea butter
  • Avocado oil
  • Grapeseed oil
  • Jojoba oil
  • Hemp seed oil
  • Caprylic triglyceride
  • Vegetable glycerin
  • Stearic acid
  • Tocopherol (vitamin E)
  • Cetyl alcohol, optiphen
  • Carapex moisturizing complex

While the oils and butters are busy adding a hydrating, vitamin rich boost deep into the layers of your skin the aluminium silica crystals gently rub away the surface skin cells, cleaning away pollutants from the pores.

Dosage

Most products you’ll find will need daily (or twice or even thrice daily) application. This isn’t how the Carapex formula works. You are advised to use only once or twice per week, after cleaning the skin thoroughly.

Price

The RRP is at $35.99 for a 2 oz / 60 ml tub. This may seem steep compared to the competition, but bear in mind with only one or two weekly applications, it should last for several months. Also some great promotions are regularly available and right now you can pick it up from their site for only $20.

Guarantee

Carapex offers absolutely no guarantee, and the way they phrase it is a little disconcerting, including, that they do not guarantee that the product is fit for the purpose it claims. Then again microdermabrasion is relatively new, and we suppose no microderm cream can be guaranteed to work. This is all the more reason that a guarantee would be an incentive if one was thinking of buying this product.

Conclusion

The best use for this product seems to be as a two in one exfoliator/microdermabrasion cream, and a moisturiser. The ingredients seem to boast an impressive, effective blend, and the aluminum crystals are the normal ingredient used in microdermabrasion so it seems a safe bet. The guarantee is a problem though, particularly as the phrasing falls in such stark contrast to so many other brands who are willing to promise that their good will work, and if it doesn’t then you can have it for free. Also for this product the price does seem fairly expensive, unfortunately. The ingredients seem to address perhaps the causes of coloration a little, but it doesn’t seem to contain enough active ingredients to protect against future damage, or for the overall health of the deep layers of the skin.

Body Merry Stretch Marks and Scars Defense Cream Review

This is our review for the Body Merry Stretch Marks and Scars Defense Cream. The rich formula by Body Merry offers a natural healthy product, which claims to fight the appearance and colouration caused by stretch marks and other scarring, as well as hydrating the skin, and adding a vitamin boost to help to protect against future scarring.

 

 

Ingredients

  • Organic Herbal Mix
  • Organic Aloe Vera Leaf Juice
  • Glyceryl Stearate (Plant Derived)
  • Cetearyl Alcohol (Plant Derived)
  • Safflower Seed Oil
  • Organic Cocoa Butter
  • Organic Castor Seed Oil
  • Stearic Acid (Plant Derived)
  • Sunflower Seed Oil
  • Globularia Cordifolia
  • Callus Culture Extract (Plant Stem Cells)
  • Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
  • d-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E)
  • Kosher Vegetable Glycerin
  • Panthenol (Vitamin B5)
  • Evening Primrose Oil
  • Raspberry Seed Oil
  • Avocado Oil
  • Grapeseed Oil
  • Organic Hempseed Oil
  • Organic Jojoba Oil
  • Shea Butter
  • Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C)
  • Wildcrafted Horsetail
  • Organic Gotu Kola
  • Algae Extract
  • Japanese Green Tea Leaf Extract
  • Palm Oil
  • Decyl Glucoside (Plant Derived)
  • Glyceryl Caprylate (Natural Preservative)
  • Sodium Carbomer
  • Sodium Hydroxide (pH Modifier)
  • Tocopherol (Antioxidant)
  • Grapefruit Seed Extract
  • Ethylhexylglycerin (Preservative)
  • Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract
  • Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Extract (Natural Preservative)

This is an impressive list of natural oils, butters, and apparently even plant stem cells included with your 4oz pot of skin cream. It really is a nice formula.

Dosage

The recommendation is that you apply it twice daily, to clean, dry skin. There is no particular limit for how much to apply, just make sure it all sinks in. If your skin stops absorbing it, then you probably have used too much. It’s hard to recommend by measurement as the size of the scarred area varies for everyone.

Price

It’s a good deal to pay only $20 for the Body Merry Stretch Marks and Scar Defense Cream. We haven’t been able to find any discounts or promotions for the Body Merry cream.

Guarantee

Body Merry say they understand that beauty is very particular, and what works for one might not for another. For this reason they say, they offer a 90 day money back guarantee if you’re not absolutely satisfied with the results. Because stretch marks are particularly noticeable, it’s very easy to quickly see if the cream is having an effect or not.

Conclusion

The value is great for such a healthy, all natural beauty product like this one. And it does come with a guarantee.
One drawback however would be that we couldn’t really find much information on possible side-effects, not on their website nor anywhere else on the packaging. It only comes in one tiny size, which might run out pretty quickly if you use two times per day. Also it might be worth mentioning that some of the online customer reviews do seem less than impressed with the results. As a result, it might be best to keep shopping around for skin care products instead of quickly deciding on Body Merry cream.

Biotherm Biovergetures Stretch Mark Cream-Gel Review

This is our review for the Biotherm Biovergetures healing and protection cream for stretch marks. The product offers a dual approach to maintaining healthy skin care, first by repairing existing tissue at the root of stretch marks, and then by improving your skin’s elasticity it works to prevent against future problems.

Whether skin imperfections are recent, or if you have a long-term concern, regardless of the cause Biotherm’s Biovergetures cream-gel aims to target common discolouration whilst reducing the size of imperfections.

Ingredients

  • Water
  • Cyclopentasiloxane
  • Glycerin
  • Propylene Glycol
  • Stearoxy Dimethicone
  • Myreth-3 Myristate
  • Propylene Glycol
  • Diethylhexanoate
  • Glycine Soja Oil
  • Phenoxyethanol
  • Hydroxyproline
  • Methylsilanol Mannuronate
  • Tocopheryl Acetate
  • Cholesterol
  • Butyrospermum Parkii Fruit
  • Hydrogenated Lecithin
  • Dimethiconol
  • Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
  • Carbomer
  • Sodium Hydroxide
  • Peg 100 Stearate
  • Glyceryl Stearate
  • Disodium Edta
  • Methylparaben
  • Propylparaben
  • Iron Oxides
  • Fragrance

The balance of ingredients included in this product make for a great smelling moisturiser, though it is somewhat lacking in active ingredients. As such this product should perhaps only be used for very minimal stretch marks. On the plus side the product has no colouring, so you don’t need to worry about staining any garments.

Dosage

As mentioned there are no particular health concerns with using this product, and so you shouldn’t worry about measuring your dose. No particular dose is recommended, though for effective treatment you are advised to apply modestly to affected areas every day.

Potential Side-Effects

Users with allergies should always review the ingredients before use, this said though Biovergetures offers a very gentle formula, and so fortunately there are no particular side-effects to expect. The only thing worth mentioning is that if have sensitive skin, fragrances can cause some redness, or irritation. So if in the past you have found yourself to be too sensitive to use fragranced cosmetics, or perfumed soaps, then perhaps an option without added fragrance would be better.

Price

Depending on who you shop with, the price for the stretch mark prevention and reduction cream starts at around the $30 and goes up to around the $42 mark. Keep in mind that these prices are without varied delivery costs being added, so do be sure to shop around before making your purchase.
You might also like to know that Biotherm do often offer discounts during clearance periods. The best way to keep track of when these happen is by adding one of their social media accounts, or by signing up to their email list.

Guarantee

No money-back guarantee or warranty seems to be offered for this product, which may be something to keep in mind. Judging by customer reviews, this product seems to have little to offer to benefit serious problems with stretch marks.

Conclusion

The Biotherm product is good if you’re looking for a gentle cream to hydrate and nourish your skin. It’s also a really reasonably priced item, even if you’re just looking for a moisturiser.
If however you were looking for a really powerful product, then the ingredients here might not be suitable for you. Also beware if you prefer to avoid products with added fragrances. Finally, it’s a real shame that no warranty comes with this particular item, as most manufacturers now do offer some type of guarantee.

Basq NYC Stretch Mark Vanishing Serum Review

Here we have for you a review of the Stretch Mark Vanishing Serum from Basq NYC. Since you’ve found your way here, it’s likely you already know all about what stretch marks are, and where they appear. You also probably know that it can be a minefield out there in the search for the right product.

The serum aims to treat the source of stretch marks deep beneath the skin’s surface by targeting damaged cells with clinically tested ingredients. To know more just keep reading.

 

Ingredients

  • Water
  • Wheat germ Oil
  • Grapeseed Oil
  • Butylene Glycol
  • Cetyl Hydroxyethyl- cellulose
  • Rutin
  • Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7
  • Green Bean Extract
  • Isopropyl Myristate
  • Polysorbate 20
  • Caprylhydroxamic Acid
  • Glyceryl Caprylate
  • Methylpropanediol
  • Glycerin
  • Tamanu Oil
  • Centella Asiatica Extract
  • Blackberry Leaf Extract
  • Vitamin E
  • Fragrance
  • Carbomer

This product seems really promising. The active ingredients include regestril, a fairly new compound which targets the cell matrices, producing far more natural collagen in the areas it is applied to. This leads to the appearance of a slowing of the aging process, with an increase of elasticity, and removal of the colouration that make stretch marks so noticeable. This ingredient has really impressed the online community for doing exactly what it says it will.

Dosage

The recommendation is to apply twice per day by massaging into the skin for 30 seconds per affected area. It is safe to use Rutin and Regestril, though side effects may be experienced. In general with more potent products like this one you should stick to the 8 week course, and not be tempted with long term use.

Potential Side-Effects

Use of Rutin in high enough doses can cause headaches, nausea, stomach upset, rashes, and flushing. There is not yet any reliable research to be sure that Rutin is safe during pregnancy, so you should avoid use for now, and in general stick to the 8 week course.

Price

The price is $44 per 3.3 oz, and the delivery is fairly pricey at $9. However if you’ve tried products without such potent active ingredients and had no luck then this certainly might be worth a try.

Guarantee

There is little information online about the manufacturer’s warranty, you are advised to contact their customer services for more information. A user comment implied it was only guaranteed against faults, and would not be refunded after use, which is disappointing.

Conclusion

Honest manufacturers will tell you that there is no certainty that any one product will work for everyone, and many products on the market have no proven active ingredients at all, though this is certainly not the case with the Basq NYC Stretch Mark Vanishing Serum.
Unfortunately little information is available from them as to whether the dose is safe for use during pregnancy. As for the guarantee they seem to hide their (non-existent) policy, which is peculiar. All in the price comes to $53 for a little 3 oz container, which is definitely on the more pricey side. As a result you may be better off searching a bit more for a stretch mark product.

Anela Stretch Mark Cream Review

Whether you have existing marks caused by rapid weight gain (or loss), or if you simply want to maintain healthy supple skin then our review for the Anela Stretch Mark Cream may well be of interest.

The Anela formula promises to promote healthy cell regeneration, whilst adding elasticity to your skin in those most vulnerable areas like your hips, tummy, bottom, or breasts. The collagen that over time breaks down is given a vitamin boost from the natural essential oils it soaks up, making skin tighter, tougher and more supple – protecting against future stretching. The added moisture also helps the recovery of older scars, making discoloration less visible. For information on ingredients, price, and more, keep reading.

Ingredients

Active Ingredients: Organic Olive Oil, Glycerin, Aloe Vera, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Jojoba Oil, Mango Butter, Rose Hip Seed Oil, Panthenol

These plant and fruit oils and butters aim to provide a complete nourishing treatment which sinks deep into the skin to treat the visible marks deep beneath the surface. By applying daily the boost of vitamins aim to encourage natural growth in collagen cells to make your skin more elastic.

Other Ingredients: Deionized Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glyceryl Stearate, Stearic Acid, Cetyl Alcohol, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate, Potassium Sorbate, Orange Oil, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxide

Dosage

As with all natural products like this one there are no really specific guidelines to follow, and there is no risk of overdoing it, unless of course you’re worried about having overly soft skin! The product may be weaker than other medicinal creams, so if this is what you’re familiar with, do bear this in mind. On the plus side, you needn’t worry about any nasty side-effects with the Anela cream.

Price

The Anela range is sold exclusively by Amazon and usually retails at $40 but can be found on promotion at times. For an all natural product like this $40 seems to be about average. We’ve looked around for some discount codes, or vouchers, but haven’t found any as of yet.

Guarantee

All Anela products come with a 30 day full satisfaction guarantee. If you experience any dissatisfaction at all, simply return the product with your original order confirmation, no questions asked!

Conclusion

We were really impressed by the online community around the Anela range, and the stretch mark cream in particular. Most customer reviews praise the cream for being effective and fast acting, and this certainly can’t be said for every product on the market.
This isn’t the strongest formula on the market, and whilst it boasts some desirable ingredients, they are quite low in dose. With this in mind, the cost is actually quite expensive for what you’re getting. Usually with a price tag close to $50 with delivery you would expect to find more active ingredients inside. Also do try to look around for guidelines for use, there wasn’t so much information on their website. As a result of all this, you might be better off in looking around for a different stretch mark treatment.

Dosage

The company’s website does have a page for directions for usage. However when you click on it, it brings up the same page as their product description, so no application directions were directly available. They did, however show two customer reviews, both were positive satisfied customers.

Possible Side Effects

The Sweetsation Therapy Company does not list any adverse side effects to its product. Nevertheless, you should consider your individual skin allergies before use of this product.

Price

Ellasti Belly Organic Stretch Mark Miracle Caviar retails for $32.00 for a 4oz tub. Without knowing the application directions, this seems like a small amount for your money. The product is available for purchase online through the Sweetsation website.

Guarantee

The company does have a 100% satisfaction guaranteed policy. You can return the product for any reason within 30 days of receipt of your package. However, you cannot return product that is more than half used. Empty product will not be accepted or refunded. The company’s website lacks many customer reviews, which to us is always questionable.

Conclusion

Generally, Ellasti Belly Organic Stretch Mark Miracle Caviar by the Sweetsation Therapy Company seems like a fair choice for your skincare needs. Its reasonable price and large product amount make it an enticing choice. However, its unavailability in stores, lack of clear directions and missing customer reviews could lead you in a different direction for your stretch mark therapy needs.
