Some products I've heard good things about for relieving stretch mark itchiness and irritation are:
- Bio-Oil - This is one of the most well-known stretch mark creams. The ingredients like vitamin A and rosehip oil are moisturizing and soothing.
- Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula - Super thick and creamy. Sinks right in to hydrate skin without feeling greasy. Really calms itch!
- Mustella Stretch Marks Cream - This French pharmacy brand is supposed to be amazing. Very gentle yet effective formula.
- Earth Mama Angel Baby Oil Gel - Has soothing aloe and chamomile. Feels really cooling on irritated skin.
- First Botany Cosmeceuticals Grapeseed Oil - High in skin-softening vitamin E. I've used this one when tanning too for relief.
I'd also try taking an oatmeal bath for instant itch relief. Just toss a cup of oats in while you soak. Super soothing! And definitely ask your doctor if you can take an antihistamine if the itching is really bad.
Hope some of those ideas help mama! Stretch marks are totally worth it for your little bean. Try not to stress too much 💗

I used vitamin E lotion everyday and gained 50 pounds but didn't get any stretch marks.
Maybe if you put the lotion on before you start to itch, you won't itch.
I didn't itch at all while pregnant.
Just bought a big bottle of lotion that just said Vitamin E on the bottle. 🙂
Coco butter! As long as you stay hydrated and moisturized you should be fine
