I'm not pregnant. I'm just growing. And I lost a bit of weight. And with these processes I developed some stretch-marks, they didn't bother me too much, but my Mum bought me some Cocoa Butter Formula for stretch marks so having bought normal Cocoa Butter previously, I was open-minded and decided to give it a try. Bit of background... Palmer's is a brand owned by E.T. Browne Drug Co., Inc (E.T. Browne (U.K) Ltd). On the back of the bottle is says that Palmer's does not manufacture store brands, so I'm guessing it means that the only brand E.T Browne Drug Co., Inc manufacture is Palmer's various ranges, and Palmer's only manufacture their ...  Read the complete review

When my Mum was having me my granddad passed on a bit of advise to her in order to avoid stretch marks, he said that if she was to rub lotion into the effected areas everyday she wouldn't suffer with them, she did this everyday for the whole 9 months and never had a single stretch mark at all, now I am expecting my first baby she has in turn passed this advise on to me. I have always been one to use various different moisturisers for my hands, face and body, especially during the winter as I find my skin gets particularly dry however when shopping the other day I noticed that Palmers do a special massage lotion for stretch marks, the last few weeks I had just been using .  Read the complete review

You may well be wondering why on earth a bloke needs to use a product such as this, one designed to prevent and reduce stretch marks. Well, the reason is quite simple, I have them. To cut a long story short I were suffering from an illness a few years back and when I was 21 I had to have surgery for my condition. I gained a lot of weight through water retention and I ended up losing around 6 stone, going from 13 stone to 7 stone in just a week! This is the reason why I came to have these stretch marks, and I also have marks left from surgery in shape of scars. In the past I have written about the wonders of Bio-Oil and how it helped to reduce the appearance ...  Read the complete review

== Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula: Massage Cream for Stretch Marks == == Introduction == As you will know if you have read any of my recent reviews, I am currently pregnant. Having gotten a huge bump very early on I have now got lots of nasty little stretch marks all over my bump and sadly my boobs! They are quite silvery and so not too noticeable, so when I got quite a large sample tube in one of my pregnancy packs, I thought I'd give it a go. I'm not really all that bothered about stretch marks, I knew I'd get them before I got pregnant and my husband doesn't care about them but I thought whilst I had a free tube, I'd see if it worked. ...  Read the complete review

After the birth of my first child in 2008 I was left scared for life and really did try everything, from bio oil to palmer's cocoa butter, and never had any luck. But to be honest I wasn't using it every day it was more of when I remembered. I have now given birth to my son who's only 2 weeks old and decided to give the palmer's cocoa butter another go. I have religiously used the product after my shower every morning and evening. Although for some reason my stretch marks are lot better than they were before. They've really faded. And using this every day has finally started to give me a small amount of my confidence back. The cream itself has a ...  Read the complete review
