Purchase this to start using fairly early on in my pregnancy. Like most pregnant women, was concerned about stretch marks. Liked the fact that it was fragrance free. But I would not recommend this product to friends because 1) it is very sticky so not only does it get all over your clothes...it makes your clothes stick to your body 2) considering it is for a pregnant women, it scored very high (which is not good) on the level of toxicity on the safe cosmetics database site.

After extensive research and the use of other products, I've settled with this cream. As another reviewer said, stretch marks cannot be solely prevented via cream or topical medication, it is mostly due to the type of pregnancy and your genetic make-up. However, its intensity, appearance, and scar can be controlled if properly taken care of.

When I was younger I had gained a great deal of weight and with the weight came the stretch marks. I began using this cream and it has not only reduced the appearance of my old stretch marks, I have not gotten any new ones yet -- I'm currently eight months pregnant and my belly's not only humongous, it's as smooth as a baby's bottom. No marks, I can see a vein here and there, but it looks beautiful.

One of the main components that makes this cream successful is the fact that it keeps your skin moisturized (you have to understand your product). As someone said on a different review, the cream doesn't seem completely absorbed and that's because it's actually doing what it is supposed to be doing. Otherwise, you will have to keep applying lotion all day long - with this Mustela, I only apply it once each morning after every shower.

Moreover, again, as someone else mentioned, the cream definitely soothes the itching you get all over your body. The itching is mostly due to your skin stretching and pulling, including "dryness" which you really don't want. This mustela has really helped with the itching of my back in places I cannot reach that used to drive me insane. During my first trimester, I would itch so much I'd make myself bumps that would bleed (I would scratch while sleeping and not know it). I haven't scratched at all since I began using this cream, but did scratch a couple of times when I forgot to put on the cream in the morning.

The only complaint I had with this is that during my first trimester the smell of it didn't sit well with me. I'd have to hold my breath and breathe through my mouth because I couldn't stand it. While some women like the smell, there are some of us that were sensitive to the smell and couldn't help but throw up each time we applied the cream. I wish they made an odorless version of it.

I used this product for 6 months, started around 12 weeks. I purchased this cream repeatedly making sure I do not get stretch marks. Results? I got a lots of it. It did not reduce new stretch marks either. I do not recommend this product at all. Invest your money on something else.
