Never use a retinoid and an alpha hydroxy acid together – alternate use as the combination is too irritating:

  1. Tretinoin cream or retinol– Research shows that tretinoin cream (prescription only Retin-A, Renova) can help to improve the appearance of stretch marks less than six weeks old and still pink or red in color. It works by boosting collagen production, making the stretch mark resemble normal skin. Retinol, as found in Green Cream is an excellent non-prescription alternative. Tretinoin and retinol should never be used during pregnancy or when breastfeeding as they have serious side effects in developing babies.
  2. Vitamin C - This ingredient has multiple benefits. It not only boosts collagen production but can also help to brighten skin tone and minimize the appearance of scars. Consider products such as Dermatix C, UltimaSkin Potent C or La Roche Posay Active C
  3. Microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion involves a hand held device that blows crystals which gently ¡®polish¡¯ the skin¡¯s surface leading to brighter skin. It may stimulate collagen production and encourage new skin growth leading to new, healthier skin fibers. While you can have treatments performed by a trained person, at home kits such as Neostrata Microdermabrasion At Home System are available and cost much less. Older stretch marks may respond to this treatment
  4. Laser therapy – A number of different laser therapies are available to help diminish the appearance of stretch marks. Check with a trained professional to see if this option might be suitable for you.

There is some research to suggest that Centella asiatica (also known as gotu kola, madecassoside) combined with Vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) and collagen-elastin hydrolysates may help to prevent the formation of stretch marks, but more research is needed before giving it a firm thumbs up. However, if you are interested in exploring this option you may want to consider La Roche Posay¡¯s Cicaplast, which can help to speed skin¡¯s healing process post surgical procedures.

New research is being conducted all the time and while we now have a number of treatment options, you can be certain that others will be added as time goes by.
