FAQ: What Stretch Marks Cream is Safest and Most Effective?

Stretchmarks will fade slightly over time, but it doesn't happen quickly enough for many women and thus many look for a stretch marks cream to apply to their affected areas. The search for a "miracle stretch marks cream" has led to some irresponsible marketing claims by several companies. 

The truth is that no cream has ever been shown in research to make stretchmarks disappear completely. There are, however, several topical ingredients that may be helpful, according to clinical studies. 



When used twice daily for one month, the botanical ingredient complex Darutoside was scientifically reported* to visibly decrease the appearance of a stretchmark's length and irregular surface area by up to 52%. The ingredient complex Registril was scientifically reported* to visibly decrease the appearance of a stretchmark's depth by 72%. Both are featured in Belli Motherhood's Stretchmark Minimizing Cream, along with avocado oil, ginseng, and shea butter for softer, smoother-looking skin.
