Is bio oil still the go to for preventing/reducing stretch marks? Just bought and used some for the first time but honestly cant stand the smell! Anyone found anything that's affordable and doesn't smell like this?

I’ve not used it myself but there’s a brand called mama mio that looks really nice

I’ve had the mamma mio brand of toiletries gifted to me, which are nice.
Oil wise though, burt bees is my go too. Hubby did lots of research and found this one seemed to be very popular and highly recommended. It has a nice scent, prefer it to bio oil.

I have seen this and am tempted! Thank you x

@Joanna ohhh thank you I didn't know they did anything like that. I'll have a look. Thank you x

Palmers coca butter is the best I used it for my entire pregnancy and I don’t have one stretch mark 😊

I’ve been using cowshed stretch mark balm, so far no stretch marks and stays hydrated on the skin all day - highly recommend 😊

@Becky this is what I've been using so far! I love it! Think I'll layer it with an oil at night as my bump starts to grow more. Thank you x

I used the mama mio tummy butter in my first pregnancy and really liked it. I’ve just started a new pot for this pregnancy

I use almond oil

Weleda stretch mark oil is what I use. I like the smell.

I agree with the mama mio i used it on my first it doesnt get rid of stretch marks but it makes them fade FAST.
Within a week mine went from bright red/purple to silver
I didnt use with my 2nd and got terrible stretch marks with him ive been using it now with my 3rd tho and theyve finally faded
Also its on sale on look fantastic so i stocked up 🤣

I did see the sale yesterday when having a look 🤣🤣 I think I might try a few! Thank you xx
