After my second child I ended up with a few stretch marks around my hips and although they were not too bad, they did make me feel somewhat self conscious.

Initially I tried just using my everyday moisturizing cream on them, which made my skin softer, but didn’t really help fade my stretch marks.

After a while I came across Trilastin and was impressed by the before and after photos on their website. I ordered some for myself and used it religiously for about two months.

Now to be honest, it is quite hard to see any difference when you are looking at something everyday. However after about 8 or 9 weeks, I found that the redness associated with my stretch marks has really faded and that they are much less noticeable than they were before.

They may not be completely gone, but the improvement is enough for me not to worry about them everyday like I used to. I now recommend this cream to all of my girlfriends and would urge you to check out their website, especially their photo section. You can do this by clicking here.

To understand how Trilastin SR works you need to know what stretch marks really are. Stretch marks, also known as striae, are actually made up of scar tissue that results when the skin’s ability to expand is exceeded. This can occur from pregnancy, extreme weight gain or loss and even bodybuilding.

Trilastin SR contains ingredients that not only help to prevent the breakdown of dermal tissue that causes stretch marks but also provides the necessary proteins needed to help repair existing marks.

It can help your skin avoid stretch marks from the very first application but for existing stretch marks, you would really need to use it for around 3-4 weeks before noticing a visible improvement. The good news is that once your stretch marks have improved you can stop using the cream as your stretch marks will not reappear.

Trilastin SR is three times more concentrated than the original Trilastin formula and is both hypoallergenic and unscented for those with sensitive skin. You can find out more by clicking here.
