This is the real deal, made by the people who have been doing skin care since the beginning of time. You can find lotions in more beautiful packaging, you can spend a lot more, but our customers keep coming back to the original, and then back, for more.
So it is, sadly, true. Read whatever you will, spend millions of dollars, but there is not a product out there which will guarantee that you will not get stretch marks. But Mustela has been in the skin care field for over 50 years, so they know their stuff. Mustela’s Stretch Marks Double Action does actually help prevent and reduce new stretch marks by aiding in the skin’s elasticity, as well as help the itch factor.
Definitely a “must have” for pregnant women, and definitely worth the not-million dollar investment! Use it on every part of your body from the shoulders to the knees, because, hmmmm, more than the belly is stretching on most of us when we are pregnant!
p.s. Of course all of Mustela's products are “hypoallergenic---based on natural active ingredients, these products are extremely well tolerated and guarantee optimal safety. The effectiveness of these easy-to-use care products has been tested by the medical profession.”
