I have bad stretch marks too. I have been using cocoa butter, and have not been noticing a difference. I actually just ordered a skin bleacher online that is supposed to make stretch marks go away, but I have not received it yet so I cannot give you feedback. Look it up though you may be interested. Till now though, I have not found a solution :(
