Kamillosan Stretch Mark & C-Section Soufflé Cream

This is one of the main reasons why I wanted to start this blog, because I wanted to share this with all you stretch mark sufferers. Now its safe to say, I wont be providing you with photos, because to be honest, none of you would want to see my mummy tummy/boobs/hips!! But it is fair to say I got it bad when I was pregnant with my daughter.









My history of the dreaded stretch marks!!
Up untill my 30th week of pregnancy, I managed to stay stretch mark free. I didn't try to avoid them, I didn't slather myself in oil or any other products because to be honest I didn't realise how bad stretch marks could be. But then I began suffering with pre-eclampsia, I became bloated and swollen and put on a stone and a half in fluid within 2 weeks - my stretch marks went mad. I was suddenly covered in them, all over my tummy, hips and the top of my boobs, not an attractive look! They didn't bother me at the time because I was proud of my body for creating a baby and this feeling continued even after the birth. I also had to have a c-section so I do have this scar along with a few others from previous gynaecology operations.


My thoughts on this product...
I can not begin to tell you how much this product has helped improve my stretch marks, especially the ones on my chest. It has made them less visible, less purple and they certainly don't bother me as much. It is incredibly moisturising but does not leave my skin feeling oily. On my tummy and hips it is taking a little longer to fade the stretch marks but that is to be expected as they are much worse in these areas. The smell of this product may not be for everyone, it is very overpowering but it is a natural smell and I tend to put this product on at night so it doesn't bother me too much.


Where to buy...
I found this product in boots and paid £11.71, although you can buy it online.

I would really recommend giving this product a try if you like me suffer from stretch marks for any reason, be it pregnancy or weight gain/loss.

I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know if you would like any more information.

  3. Hi, would just like to know if this cream would work on white stretch marks too? I just hate the look of them as I have a brown complexion.
