We already know that stretch marks are skin lesions caused when collagen and elastin fibers break due to skin stretching during pregnancy and also other endocrine factors.
Initially, stretch marks are reddish in color and over time evolve to a pearly white color. The stretch marks from pregnancy are referred to as gravidarum striae. They usually measure between 2 and 10 mm and are located on the chest, buttocks, abdomen, hips, thighs, and sides.
Stretch marks can appear at any age, both in men and women, as they may arise due to weight gain, hormonal changes such as puberty; but, above all, they appear during pregnancy.
An anti-stretch mark cream with proven efficacy in pregnant women is Trofolastin® Anti-Stretch Marks, one of the few anti-stretch mark creams with a study (conducted in a double-blind manner in pregnant women).
Positively evaluated by The Cochrane Library Young G., Jewell D. Creams for preventing stretch marks in pregnancy.

Noval and M.Sola. Prophylaxis of striae gravidarum with a topical formulation. A double trial. International Journal of Cosmetic Science. 1991; 13:51-57).

Can your body go back to how it was before?
If you have been pregnant, you may have noticed all the changes your body underwent during the 9 months of pregnancy. There are many physical and hormonal changes, especially those related to weight gain.
That’s why, after childbirth, it’s logical and normal that your body shape does not recover quickly. Additionally, the skin can appear saggy and lacking tone.
It's time to help your body regain its normal shape; for that, I recommend using specific creams that provide elasticity to your skin.
The Trofolastin® Post-Partum Firming cream is a treatment for the skin, specially designed for after childbirth.
