White or red stretch marks visibly softened.
Stretch marks are one of the most common things people feel self-conscious about, the fine streaks across the stomach, hips, thighs or arms that can appear after growth, pregnancy or changes in weight. Almost everyone has them, and they're nothing to be ashamed of. While they can't always be erased, their texture and appearance can be noticeably improved.
What are stretch marks?
The fine lines or streaks, often on the stomach, hips, thighs, breasts or arms, that can appear pink, red, purple or silvery, sometimes with a slightly indented or textured feel. Newer marks tend to be more colourful, while older ones fade toward white or silver.
What causes stretch marks?
Stretch marks form when the skin stretches rapidly, during growth spurts, pregnancy or changes in weight, and the deeper supporting layers are disrupted. They’re extremely common, affect all body types, and are influenced by genetics and hormones as much as by the stretching itself.
