There are many creams for sale that are marketed at reducing the visibility of stretch marks. By far the most popular is Trilastin and has been ever since it was demonstrated on the Tyra Banks show a couple of years ago.

Stretch marks can occur when the fibers that connect to the skin are overly stretched which is commonly brought on due to pregnancy or excessive weight gain.

For any type of stretch mark cream to be beneficial, it must penetrate the skin and actively rebuild the damaged tissue. Trilastin does this by containing ingredients that are found in healthy skin including collagen, soy protein and elastin. This not only helps prevent any further damage to the underlying tissue, and also helps repair any existing damage.

A reduction in the visibility of your stretch marks from using Trilastin will obviously vary from person to person, however a visible improvement can be expected after about 3-4 weeks and a definite reduction after about 12 weeks.

Trilastin can also be used to stop stretch marks from appearing by applying the cream before the birth of your child rather than after it once the damage to your skin has been done. This, and the fact that it is formulated from 100% natural ingredients has made it a popular choice among mothers to be.

Trilastin need not be applied continually either. Once your stretch marks have faded, you can stop using the cream and your stretch marks will not come back. It is possible for new stretch marks to occur if your skin becomes overly stretched again.

Trilastin SR is a all natural and effective method for improving the appearance of stretch marks. It is a simple alternative to other more invasive stretch mark treatments.
