stretch mark repair creams

Stretch mark repair creams have been in the market for a very long time. Stretch mark repair creams were formulated so as to help those who are afflicted with the condition who commonly have to live with the embarrassment of having such kind of skin. Stretch marks are the result of the uneven stretching of the skin. The skin is elastic enough so as to accommodate temporary stretching, but when the stretching is done for longer durations, like in pregnancy or in body building, the skin is unable to recover from the stretching it received. Stretch marks are in a way, a record of the stresses the skin has undergone, the dark marks are the portion of the skin that didn't stretch, while the lighter portions are the ones that stretched. For some time, people treated such stretch marks with scar medication, but this medication didn't work essentially because the composition of the scar tissue is different from skin. The reason why stretch marks are colored like so is because the darker lines represent old skin, whose pigmentation has been affected by age and some oxidation of the pigments, while the light ones are the relatively 'new skin' - skin that's been stretched and had to compensate for the stretch by building up a certain amount of new tissue.

Most of the stretch mark repair creams in the market essentially deliver collagen and elastin to the affected area of the skin. Collagen and elastin are important components of skin, with collagen responsible for the network of tissue, the 'scaffolding' were new skin tissues are built on. Elastin is essentially the ingredient that keeps all the components of the skin to acquire some elastic property. If one observes stretch marks closely, much of the dark lines seem to be elevated high, which is the reason why collagen and elastin is delivered to these sites via the stretch mark repair creams. But while the structural portion is addressed, many of these stretch mark repair creams don't address the discoloration. Many of these creams only manage to 'flatten' out the affected area. But there has been a new development in the treatment of this condition. An oligo-peptide, the so called Pal-KTTKS, has been shown to be effective in treating stretch marks. Not only does it address the structural portion of the problem but it also addresses the pigment component of the problem. It sort of filled out the depressed portions of the skin and managed to lighten the color enough so that the affected area had a more even color to it. One of the first products in the market to use this ingredient is StriVectin-SD.

But while StriVectin-SD is well known in the stretch mark repair creams market, it is not the only one that contains the effective active ingredient nor is it the most cost-effective. It is much better to get a cheaper brand that delivers the same result since using a cheaper brand has more potential of becoming an ingrained behavior, and with 'beauty regimens' the products that become a part of a routine are the more effective ones. Take XTREME CREAMS Ultra Concentrated Stretch Mark Repair formulation. Compare it to Strivectrin-SD in terms of ingredients and it's likely you'll see that they have no difference at all, either in active ingredients or in supplementary ingredients. But compare the price between the two and you'll be surprised that XTREME CREAMS Ultra Concentrated Stretch Mark Repair cost only $19.95 whereas Strivectrin-SD cost some $130, and the amount of these creams are the same - good for 4-6 weeks of treatment. If you check the prices for a 6-week treatment period, XTREME CREAMS' product figures to just $1.20 a day while the StriVectin-SD amounts to $3.20. XTREME CREAMS' product really makes a lot of sense to use. And since it has the same ingredient as the market leader, you can expect the same results. Go with XTREME CREAMS Ultra Concentrated Stretch Mark Repair and go for the cost-effective product.
