Though nothing is scientifically proven, anecdotal evidence supports the idea that using moisturizers fortified with vitamin A and vitamin E may help prevent stretch marks. Vitamin A and E are, after all, essential components in the epidermal (skin) maintenance system. Helping your body regulate and in some cases speed up the growth of new skin cells may help reduce the appearance and number of stretch marks when overall body volume is finally lost.
-Alpha Hydroxy Acid is probably the most popular treatment to get rid of stretch marks on the market today. AHAs are found in just about every major brand of skin cream and stretch mark treatment in the cosmetics section of your local department store. These acids, derived generally from sugar cane or dairy products, are potent exfoliating compounds. When AHAs are applied to the skin, they break down the proteins that hold dead skin cells together, essentially dissolving the dead skin, allowing newer, younger skin to take its place—skin with a pigment closer to your natural tone.
-Retinoids are the second most popular treatment recommended to help get rid of stretch marks. Retinoids, like AHAs, are most effective in a cream or moisturizer rather than in a face wash, because retinoids need to be properly absorbed by the skin. Soaps only wash them away, reducing their effectiveness. Retinoids are a class of chemicals that help regulate the skin cell growth nearer the surface of the epidermis. Accelerating this growth with regular retinoid treatments will help get rid of stretch marks faster.
-Salicylic acid is a rare but equally effective way to get rid of stretch marks. Like the two suggestions above, acids of any sort are useful in helping to exfoliate the skin because they break apart the proteins (lipids) that hold skin cells, particularly dead skin cells, together. Salicylic acids are most often found in treatments for acne, but there are some skin creams on the market that use very mild concentrations to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks, pimples, and blemishes.
Best of Luck, and God Bless.
