Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Cream for Stretch Marks

Promise:  Helps prevent and reduce stretch marks.

This concentrated cream with Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E, Collagen and Elastin is said to prevent stretch marks, that usually appear during pregnancy. Not only that, it helps reduce existing stretch marks as well.

I must admit I was a little bit suspicious towards a cream that sounded too good to be true, but I really liked it ever since I started using it. This cream is non-greasy and easily absorbed by skin.  I apply it on problem area that is more prone to stretch marks, such as my abdomen, breasts and whole upper thigh area.

I have some stretch marks from puberty on my upper thighs, and this cream helped visibly reduce their appearance.  I mean, I still have stretch marks, but somehow they faded in their strength,  which makes me believe that this cream will prevent new stretch marks to appear.

I am in my 6th month of pregnancy and so far I am satisfied with my skin appearance.  I use three Palmer’s products that were sold in maternity store: this concentrated cream, then lotion throughout the day and cocoa butter before I go to sleep.  My skin is soft as ever, and I apply this cream every day.  My only issue with this cream is that is packaged in a 125 g tube (4.4 OZ), which I spend within two weeks.  I wish there were more in the package, so I don’t have to return to the store every so often.

The only reason why I don’t think it deserves five stars is due to packaging.  Luckily, I am quite happy with Palmer’s lotion and actual cocoa butter products.
