A stretch mark cream that claims to both minimize the appearance of stretch marks and prevent new stretch marks from forming during pregnancy is the Zenmed Stretta Stretch Mark Cream. It claims to be especially useful during pregnancy, but you can also use it to eliminate normal scars on the skin.
One action of this
Zenmed Stretta Stretch Mark Cream is an exfoliating effect which gets rid of dead skin cells on the outermost layer of the skin. Doing this will eliminate any blemishes on the surface, as well as stimulate the production of new cells to replace the lost cells.
The ingredient responsible for this effect is glycolic acid. This can effectively exfoliate the skin and get rid of almost all blemishes on this layer of the skin. This action is important in order to expose the younger and better looking cells that are on the deeper layers of the skin.
This product also contains octyl Palmitate and sunflower oil which can help enhance cell regeneration. Aside from its exfoliating effects which will stimulate production of younger cells, these two ingredients would further improve this action so that the skin will heal much faster and get rid of scar tissue much faster.
The last important ingredients included in Zenmed Stretta are moisturizers such as witch hazel. Moisturizers are important in improving the appearance of the skin and reducing blemishes. Aside from this, the skin will also be much more resistant to tearing and breaking as compared to dry skin during pregnancy.
One problem with the exfoliating effect of this cream is that this is more effective at eliminating normal scars which are present on the surface of the skin. It will not be able to do much when it comes to getting rid of stretch marks which are present on the deeper layers of the skin.
Aside from this, the cell regenerating effects of this cream is really helpful as this will help reduce scar tissue and replace them with newer cells. Also, the ingredients of this stretch mark cream are completely safe to use even during pregnancy so you won't have to worry about the growth and development of your baby while using this cream.
Overall, this
Stretch Mark Cream may not be as good as advertised. It may be able to reduce the appearance of stretch marks up to a certain point, but don't expect them to be almost invisible. Also, it has no ability to improve the elasticity of the skin which makes it inferior to other creams that can stimulate the skin to become more elastic and resistant to tearing.
