> 24 hourI’m not a big fan of the smell at all, I can’t quite put my finger on what it is specifically, but kind of an almost rancid smell (like when oils turn). This alone may stop me from using it. It’s also greasy and sticky, which I don’t love, but understand that it is probably par for the course, as most topicals for stretch marks will have oils as their base to be effective. I do like that this product is made from safe, natural, and non-toxic ingredients, and specifically made for pregnant women, and is EWG verified. Also, this product has a lot of positive reviews for effectiveness so might just have to deal with the unpleasant smell and feel of it; still deciding.

> 24 hourLove this! Big fan of all of Attitudes products (I have a ton of allergies to ingredients in other similar products but Attitude is a safe brand for me always). 37 weeks along and no stretch marks- could be genetics or the product, but I think this oil is great!

> 24 hourI started using this very shortly after finding out Im pregnant everywhere I thought stretch marks would be a problem: belly, hips, and chest. Im currently 8 months pregnant and have yet to find a single new stretch mark, Im hoping the trend continues. This oil is so soft and calming, has minimal scent, and it feels heavenly when I can talk my husband into rubbing it on my belly! I also love that it is made of clean ingredients and EWG verified.

> 24 hourI have tried 5 pregnancy stretch mark balms/oils/creams and this one is my favorite. I love the consistency, the product is like a gel but has the feeling of an oil. It absorbs really well, leaving my skin feeling moisturized and hydrated. Would definitely purchase again!

> 24 hourI love this oil. It glides on nicely and helps add moisture to my growing belly. I am pregnant with child #4 so I already had stretch marks to begin with, so I cant really say whether or not it has prevented any extra stretch marks. Its just nice to have a safe clean product without any harsh chemicals.

> 24 hourIve read over and over that you cant prevent stretch marks, but I wanted to at least try. In my youth I gained weight rapidly and developed stretch marks on my hips and figured I would probably develop more during pregnancy. Im currently 37 weeks and went from weighing 146 to my current weight of 196 (50 lb increase) and I havent seen a single one! I used this oil probably 3-4 times a week starting around 16 weeks and honestly havent been drinking as much water as youre supposed to (which also supposedly helps prevent stretch marks). Its supposed to be applied daily, but since its an oil, it slowly absorbs into your skin and I didnt always want to get dressed immediately after applying. Instead Id apply it and wear my robe for 30 minutes or so until my skin didnt feel so oily. I didnt always have time to just slowly get ready and hang out in my robe, so thats why I didnt apply it ever day. My point is, this oil is the only thing I can think of as to why I dont have any new stretch marks on my still growing, very round belly even after gaining quite a bit more than recommended.
