Apothederm Stretch Mark Cream ~ Review

As with many women after pregnancy, I have found myself with stretch marks on my hips, upper thighs and stomach. Although it's something I'm self-conscious about, after trying several different creams, I had come to the conclusion that it was something I'd have to live with forever. That is, until I was introduced to Apothederm Stretch Mark Cream.

Apothederm is a new stretch mark cream that will be launching very soon. Featuring the exclusive Heptapeptide-7 the latest advance in SmartPeptide technology for smarter-looking skin, it helps to fight against new and old stretch marks.

Features/Benefits:

• Reduces the appearance of stretch marks
• Improves discoloration
• Evens skin tone and texture
• Protects skin to prevent future stretch marks
• Fragrance and Paraben-free
• Not tested on animals

I have to admit that when I first learned of Apothederm Stretch Mark Cream I was a bit skeptical. Could a product really help reduce the appearance of my stretch marks and improve skin texture and smoothness at the same time? Well, I was excited to have the opportunity to try Apothederm Stretch Mark Cream first-hand and find out.

When the product arrived, I was happy to see that the directions were very simple. Just apply morning and evening in a circular motion to areas with stretch marks and I was done. At first I did not expect for the small bottle I received to last very long, but after just one use, I learned quickly that it doesn't take much to apply which is great! Because the cream is more thick than other creams and lotions, I didn't need to use much at all. With just a little bit on my finger, I have been able to easily rub it into my skin.

I have somewhat sensitive skin, so I appreciated the fact that it has been tested for irritancy and in a 32 person panel, not one person had any irritation. I can say the same goes for me. I have had no problems with any irritation at all. In fact, it feels great and has helped hydrate and nourish my skin. I love that it is paraben free and fragrance free as well.

Of course, no matter how great it feels or is for my skin...the real question was 'how would it work?'. I've been using the Apothederm Stretch Mark Cream for about 3 1/2 weeks and can tell you that I definitely see improvement of the stretch mark areas. The visibility of my stretch marks have been reduced and my skin even feels firmer and more smooth. I am pretty amazed, as I've never had these kinds of results with any other product I've tried in the past. I have noticed the biggest change in the stretch marks on my upper thighs...as I did not have as many as I do on my stomach. I definitely feel this product is working, and having seen results in just a short time has me very excited to see what the long term results will be.

It turns out that I'm not the only one who has started to see results. According to Apothederm, there was a clinical study performed and 70% participants saw results in 2 weeks and 90% saw results after 12 weeks.
