Stretch marks on the skin occur, when there is excessive stretching on the skin for prolonged period of time, (such as due to pregnancy, skin over abdomen becomes stretched for several months or in case of obesity there may be stretch marks anywhere in the body where there is excess deposition of fat in the subcutaneous tissues i.e. tissues just below the skin or dermis).

There are many cream based preparations available in the market with tall claims of removing stretch marks completely. But the fact is, no cream can remove stretch marks completely. Most of the anti-stretch mark creams can remove stretch marks significantly, but not completely. But unfortunately most anti-stretch mark cream manufacturers’ claim that their product can remove stretch marks completely, which is in truth very far from it. If you are thinking to buy anti-stretch mark cream for your stretch marks, buy anti-stretch mark cream or product which do not give false promise but deliver what they claim.

While searching for an effective anti-stretch mark cream, I came across many products with claims to remove stretch marks completely. But I know that no product can remove stretch marks completely, because stretch marks cause deposition of fibrous tissues, collagen etc. in the area which have permanent presence. In presence of permanent fibrous tissues (which can not be removed by use of any medication available at present), it is not possible to remove stretch marks completely and any body claiming to remove stretch marks completely is a false claim.

If you are thinking to buy anti-stretch mark cream, do not fall into traps with false and tall claims and instead go products that have realistic claims and which can deliver what they claim.
