Fed up with the unattractive stretch marks on your body? You believe taking drastic measures is in order. Perhaps you have tried almost everything, including applying stretch mark removal creams advertised over the Internet. There are literally dozens of companies wanting your business, and it is not surprising to see vying products created by the same maker being touted aggressively by hundreds of resellers.

You have a great deal of options when it comes to stretch mark creams. The question is how can you be certain if a stretch mark cream is the genuine thing? Don’t just grab the first or a couple of stretch mark creams you see, like the popular TriLastin Stretch Mark Cream; but take a bit to stop and think about what you are buying. Below are 5 indicators that the stretchmark creams are not going to do anything to solve your problem.

1. Manufacturer’s claims are based on studies they themselves have paid for. Independent research labs or credible third parties (e.g., Food and Drug Administration), or even respected physicians have not reviewed the outcomes of these studies.

2. There is just one study lending support to the claims pertaining to the stretch mark cream’s effectiveness.

3. The cream for stretch mark is being sold on a website where an invitation for individuals to become a reseller is very evident.

4. Improbable claims, like “Put on this cream and see stretch marks disappear right before your eyes!” and the like.

5. Finally, a stretch mark cream is not going to reduce stretch marks for you if its maker or sellers use medical facts that are highly complicated so barely anyone can understand them and then using those facts to support their statements when it comes  to cures for stretch marks.

If you are already using a stretch mark cream, think how you came about buying it in relation to the 5 indicators mentioned previously. If unbelievable claims are made about it, or if studies relating to its effectivity have not undergone independent assessment, odds are that cream is bogus. Which is why up until now, there aren’t any visible improvements on your stretch marks.

Don’t fall for dubious skin care products, particularly stretch mark creams and lotions, even if they come with a money-back guarantee. Often, these guarantees have a long paragraph in fine print that’s put there to protect makers from losses when people return their products.
