I was wondering if anyone here had ever tried the revitol before. I have seen on their website they are the best. BUT all websites say they are the best. Any first hand people out there can point me in the right direction. Thanks

You sparked my attention...so I did a Google search. Hope this helps: Revitol Stretch Mark Prevention Cream Review by Diva Skin Care - We talk about Solutions to Stretch Marks, Stretch Mark Treatments, Stretch Mark Creams & How to Get Rid of Stretch Marks.

Trixie,

Sounds like the revitol cream is pretty good I might get some and try it, I got bad stretch marks with my first daughter and once I lose the weight I would like them to not be so noticeable Thanks for the info.

NP! Let me know how it works!

Me too. Let me know if it works!

Haha...so funny you posted this. I did research a little while back because I have stretch marks on my tummy from gaining weight the past couple of years. I found that Diva site that Trixie posted and I found one other "reviews" site that gave Revitol good marks, too. So I got some. I've only used it for about a week. I'll let y'all know how it goes.

I'm also doing a supplement/skin brushing/moisturizing regime. So I won't know for sure if it's all the Revitol or a combination. But I'll still let you guys know in about a month how it goes.

OK, so I'm at the 8-week mark of using the stuff. BUT...I did have several days in there when I didn't use it at all (kind of went off track on EVERYTHING). I had red stretch marks and they are almost completely faded to a light color. I think you'd have to be standing close to me in the right light to see them now.

I do want to add that I didn't ONLY use the Revitol as a means of repairing my skin. I also use a supplementation, skin brushing and moisturizing regimen to help my skin along as I lose the fat sitting under it. It's supposed to help my cellulite and spider veins, too. My spider veins are fading (I never thought I'd be able to say that!). I only had one noticeable spot of spider veins on the inside of my right knee...but it's fading already.

I'm hoping to end up with near normal looking skin by the end of all this. Maybe if I were faithful with this skin regimen I'd be further along by now...who knows.

Thanks for the update! Did you happen to take any before pictures?

I didn't specifically for this. I wish now that I had. But I can look around at pictures I do have that I took for like my scars or my full body shot I took in my undies and see if you can see the stretch marks. LOL Let me see what I can dig up...

Grrr. I don't know how much good these are going to do. Like I said, I don't have a really good before pic. The best I could find was my pic a couple days post-op of my incisions. You can kind of see the stretch marks to (MY) left of my belly button.

I just took this one. Not a great pic and I don't think it does justice. Crappy camera phone and in a badly-light office bathroom. LOL Probably can't tell much of a difference. My marks weren't TOO bad to begin with, but you would have been able to see them had my tummy been bared. Now I don't think they are as noticeable in person.

Thank you. :eek: It's frustrating for me to look at it because it doesn't look THAT much different to me.

Thank you. It's frustrating for me to look at it because it doesn't look THAT much different to me. :thumbdown:

are you kidding me??!?!?!... It does to me...

your only 3mths postop... and big difference

But then again it takes a while for your mind o catch up with the weight loss... if you dont mind me asking... how much have you lost??

52 pounds...halfway to goal.

I think the stretch marks are much better. I'm going to have to see how many I lose with my tummy tuck and maybe get some of this stuff. Thanks for sharing!

can I ask what skin brushing is?

I finally got a cream for the scars and they are starting to lighten up. (umm it's been 8 months!!) I just don't remember to do all this work.

I can barely remember my daily facial lotion to tighten up that skin!!
