PROMISING REVIEW
“Fell in love instantly! As a new mom, the stretch marks on my lower abdomen seemed to appear out of nowhere, and nothing I tried seemed to help with lightening them. Until this product! Although you can see the texture of the stretch marks, they have lost all pigmentation, and it’s almost like they’re no longer there. This product has been a godsend and definitely has helped bring back some of my self-confidence. Not to mention it also smells amazing, helps firm skin around other areas of my body I’m learning to love again, and is super moisturizing. 1,000% recommend.”
