I love this cream. Smells beautiful and is a good price. Leaves skin really nice and soft and smelling really nice. I used this all way threw both my pregnancies and still use it now
I used this throughout my pregnancy last year, I can honestly say I haven't gained one stretch mark on my stomach where I applied it. The smell is gorgeous also ? it isn't a greasy texture and feels very light on my skin when applied. Not too expensive either.
I used this every day on my belly, hips and breasts since the day I found out I was pregnant. It kept them away until the last 4 weeks of my pregnancy - I think stretch marks are completely unavoidable though.
I then used it after and I really haven’t noticed my stretch marks fading or appearing less, so I’m not 100% sure it works for me.
I used this every day in my pregnancy and didn’t get a single stretch mark. It made my skin so lovely and soft. Whether it was due to the cream or my skin that I didn’t get stretch marks I don’t know but I would definitely use this again. In fact, I even bought for pregnant friends to use as well!.
I found that this product was easy to apply and soaked in quickly and was non-greasey. I thought it smelt lovely too. I loved this product, however, i am unsure about its effectiveness as I only started using it once stretch marks began to appear and I only used it after a daily shower rather than its recommended usage. I did still get stretch marks and I am unsure about whether they would have been worse had I not been using this product.
I started using this as soon as I found out I was pregnant with my first as I was recommended by a friend. The smell is delicious, it's easy to dispense, and a little really does go a long way, I brought two for the whole pregnancy and didn't finish the second bottle!
It is very moisturising, however it didn't absorb into my skin amazingly. My partner said he thought I always felt like a slug, as I applied it every morning and every night.
I didn't get any itchy sore redness, and I didn't get many stretch marks until the last month of my pregnancy, and seemed to gain a hole lot more after I actually gave birth. So u wouldn't say this product prevents getting stretch marks, but it does help stop getting itchy, and does make you smell divine!
Palmers products always smell so good, and this doesn’t fail to disappoint. Easy to apply and you don’t need much at all, smells gorgeous and I don’t need have any stretch marks (so far!) highly recommend!
I've been using this product since about 4 weeks, it's one of the few stretch mark creams ot lotions that absorb really well into the skin. I'm very fussy when it comes to cream and can't abide anything feeling sticky or greasy. This feels fresh and light on application absorbs quickly and makes skin feel nourished. The pump action means I don't have to worry about the hygiene inside the bottle or get the bottle messy if I need some more half way through an application. I've still developed some stretch marks however I probably need to be more consistent with application, plus I do not have great skin anyway so this has probably helped some at least! It's definitely soothed dry itchy skin. Recommended, I love all the Palmers range.
Was gifted this whilst pregnant and used it after I got stretch marks and it has visibly reduced the appearance of them.
It smells great and isn't greasy.
A lovely cream, pleasant smell and texture and suitable for my very sensitive eczema prone skin. Whether it has any effect on stretch marks is debatable but it's left me with lovely soft skin either way.
easy to apply, really does help reduce the amount of stretch marks

I used this for my first two pregnancies and i use it for this pregnancy and can honestly say its a great product. I hardly got any stretch marks with my last two pregnancies, this one im still early on so not sure how it will be yet.
This product smells divine and is not thick not sticky. I applied everyday from around 4 months and it kept the stretch marks at bay. The pump keeps the product hygienic avoiding germs from getting into the product compared to a tub.
I use this cream and also the oil throughout my pregnancy and I am either just lucky or had a great combination going as I go minimal stretch marks that were very faint. My skin always feel fresh and smooth even when I was feeling rough. Lovely smell and even though it is thick it dries quickly into the skin.
Easy pump applicator, smells amazing ! Great price!

Easy pump applicator, thick and nourishing but not sticky or oily. Smells amazing ! And for the price not afraid to apply it all over the body not just specific areas. Not one stretch mark on my arms or belly where I used it every day. 35 weeks pregnant. Helped existing stretch marks on thighs and hips look less red. All in all I great product at an affordable usable price :)
Makes skin look and feel great. Improves scars and blemishes.
Weaknesses:
Bottle/pump design is horrendous- a lot of product gets stuck and wasted.

This cream is great and really worth using!
The good stuff- With regular use this makes skin look and feel amazing! Scars become slightly less prominent, but marks and blemishes are blurred very well with continued use. The smell is lovely and dry skin is instantly improved.
The not so great stuff - The bottle and pump design are just plain irritating. The product is thick, so about half way through use, the product becomes hard to pump out and a lot of it becomes stuck and wasted.
I have always used Palmers throughout my life so I used their stretch mark cream through pregnancy. It is full of moisture and really helped but it did cause me to have a rash. I began to get an itchy belly with some lumps.
After I stopped using it for a few days the rash and itch went away. I presume this is just some sort of allergic reaction during pregnancy. I will continue to use palmers products afterwards.
Didn't seem to prevent stretch marks that well though it might of made them not as bad. is one of the easiest to use not leaving a greasy feel or needing to wait for it to dry like most atretchmark products iv tryed which helped me use it more often being a busy working parent.
I have tried this product but it is not my first choice for stretch marks. It smells lovely but takes a while to soak in. It is nice and thick but doesn't last very long.
Decreases the intensity of the red/purple stretch marks, souths itchiness, non oily/greasy

This is my first pregnancy and I was becoming quite unhappy with the stretch marks appearing all over my belly (although it was inevitable) when I fell pregnant people told me there is no product that actually ‘gets rid or helps’ stretch marks but this product has done wonders for mine! The redness of my stretch marks has gone down, they are not itchy, and if I’m honest, since using the cream I have had no other stretch marks appear! The only thing I don’t like is the smell but that is just a personal view on what I like etc. The cream it’s self moisturises the skin/stretch marks leaving them smooth and not oily or greasy like some other products. Even my partner has noticed the decrease in redness of my stretch marks, it takes away the intensity of them.
I feel so much more comfortable in my own skin and have even started taking photos of my bump! Showing it off. Whereas in the beginning I was too embarrassed to do so.
One of the best stretch mark creams I have used, it has helped fade mine and has made them look much better, it leaves skin super soft and smelling lovely it does as it says amazing I would highly recommend.
Helps to minimise marks, smells lovely, does what it says.The bottle is a really good size and the price for that size was really reasonable.
I only need to use two pumps to cover the places I want to moisture, and it goes on really well.
