I discovered this shortly after learning I was pregnant. Bath and Body Works at our mall was consistently out of their cocoa butter stretch mark cream a friend had reccommended. So I was desperate to find a good affordable stretch mark preventative, because my sister developed the worst stretch marks I've ever seen during her pregnancy, and my mom has quite a lot of them too. I also have some leftover from puberty. I found this stuff online and it was very well reviewed and even used by some celebrities, so I decided to give it a go. I also liked the fact that it is all natural, sustainable, and contained all the ingredients I'd ever heard of using for stretch mark prevention.

I used it every day during my pregnancy (starting at about 12 weeks), after showering and before bed until 3 weeks before my due date, and did not get a single mark. The ones on my hips from my teen years pretty much disappeared, too. And, in addition, I never had the slightest itchiness that most of my pregnant friends have complained about (another reviewer said it made her itch, so I can only conclude she must be allergic to one of the ingredients). Then I ran out. The store where I've been buying it locally was out of it too. Since I was already so huge, and hadn't gotten any stretch marks, I decided to buy some of the Tummy Honey Cream, which they still had in stock. I immediately noticed my skin was kind of itchy and got worse as it dried out and the day wore on. Then, about a week after I stopped using the Tummy Honey Butter, I got a stretch mark. It is not a really dreadful dark red or purple one, but there it is, in all its pinkish brown unsightliness. So of course I went back to the store to see if they had any of the butter yet, if not to fix my new stretch mark, then at least to soothe this infernal itchiness.

They don't. Which is why I've turned to Amazon to find some, quick! Even if my due date is now only 4 days away, I suspect it will help, and may also fade the little stretch marks starting to show up on my breasts. This stuff is mandatory. I think I'll buy a case next time I find out I'm pregnant, so I don't run out. If I have extra, it'll make a nice baby shower gift for someone.

I really liked this product. I didn't get any strech marks until the last few weeks of my pregnancy and I chalk that up to good genes more than anything. Regardless though the product did keep me from itching my belly as much as my skin tightened and was mostorizing without being to greasy. I am still using the product three weeks after having my baby and the streach marks seem to be fading away. I am now buying the product for my best friend who is pregnant.

I used the original formula with my first 2 children, this pregnancy I purchased my tummy honey as usual but all of the ingredients have been changed, and it doesn't work well at all. The company was bought out by giant LEARNING CURVE who then replaced all the quality ingredients with cheaper stuff that doesn't work and added a bunch of perfume instead to mimic the herbal smell. I'm REALLY not happy with the new formula, it causes my skin to itch - most likely due to the high amount of undisclosed chemicals in the "fragrance" ingredient which is present in VERY large amounts of the new formula. VERY disappointed long time customer here.

 

I used the butter with both of my pregnancies and did'nt get any marks at all!! In fact, little white growth marks on my legs from high school disappeared! I would recommend this to everyone who is pregnant! Plus my husband loved the smell of it too!!

I read a lot of amazing reviews of this product before I bought it. It's made by a California company and the ingredients are almost all natural/herbal. So I thought "great, this is the perfect product for me!" Unfortunately, as soon as I opened the jar, I was assaulted by the extremely strong fragrance. This is a product made almost entirely of herbs of one kind or another, so it would probably be very smelly on its own (in a nice way!), but Bella B thought it would be a good idea to ADD fragrance (listed in the ingredients as "fragrance" -- what does THAT mean?). It's extremely strong-smelling, and the one day I tried it I had a headache all day from the fumes. Just awful. I am so disappointed that a product made almost entirely of natural ingredients would have such a strong unnatural fragrance added. I will never use this again. $20 down the drain.

If your belly or skin gets rashes when it's oily or overheat with clothes covered, I wouldn not recommend this product. This product, as it mentioned on the lable, would not absorb, so it stayed oily and sticky on my belly. After covered by clothes for a day or two, my belly broke out reashes all over.

It smells good though.

I started using this product on my belly just before I started "showing" at approx. 5 months, and didn't get any stretch marks on my belly. I should have been putting it on my derier because I did get stretch marks back there. :( Highly recommend this product. I used approx. 6oz of the product during a 4 month period.

I have been using this since I my 2nd month of pregnancy. It has a very pleasant, light scent that is perfect for pregnancy, even when I had morning sickness. Its very moisturizing, and completely gets rid of my itchy tummy symptoms. I especially like all the natural ingrediants in it.

I started using this product early in my pregnancy to prevent stretch marks. I was skeptical at first, because it was greasier than I expected. I kept using it, but only at night because I didn't want my clothes to get greasy during the day. I am now 7.5 months pregnant and still slather it on my belly and hips every night, and I don't have one stretch mark to speak of! I don't know if it's genetics or this product, but I'm a believer. Plus I don't have itchy skin like many pregnant women complain about. Hopefully the current jar will get me through all 9 months!

I have used this product through 2 pregnancies and so far...no stretch marks! It is really thick and waxy, so it stays on and relieves an itchy belly. I put it on at night before I go to bed, because sometimes it is not comfortable to wear under regular clothes during the day (because it is so thick.) I like that the ingredients are mostly natural and doesn't seems to have too many chemicals. It smells nice too!
