5 Top Ingredients For Stretch Mark Removal

You hear of stretch mark removal or prevention creams but what should be in them? Below are 5 top ingredients that should be in any stretch mark removal product:

1) Squalene Oil – Comes from olive oil. It is excellent for regenerating the skin. Squalene oil actually consists of similar properties to human natural skin oils. So on the surface of the skin when applied acts as a natural defense as it is stimulating and growing back the surface of the skin. Therefore this ingredient alone will help to reduce the appearance of scars, hence stretch marks. As well as a protective layer, it is an excellent guard against any damage that may be done on your skin by the environment being an antioxidant as well as maintaining the skin’s health.

2) Vitamin E – Squalene oil in your stretch mark cream should have added vitamin E, which has properties of a powerful antioxidant also. These are integral ingredients for regenerating your skin. Vitamin E can be found in nuts, fruits as well as plants. The qualities of vitamin E means that it can deeply penetrate in the surface of the skin in order to encourage the growth of new skin cells which in turn will reduce the look of your stretch marks. As well as the growth of new cells, it dramatically revitalises the elasticity of your skin, making it firmer and preventing the skin to stretch and leave a scar again. The skin will have a less chance of stretching and tearing and so lowers the chance immensely of getting stretch marks in that area again.

3) Vitamin D3 – Vitamin D3 is absolutely essential for the production of new skin and so works well with vitamins E in the way these vitamins help to grow new cells and regenerate your skin. In normal circumstances, when the skin has exposure to sunlight, vitamin D3 is produced in the upper layers of the skin. Unfortunately, due to most people’s lifestyles it becomes quite unrealistic to produce the amount of vitamin D that the skin needs.

4) DL-Penthenol – Otherwise known as pro-vitamin B5. DL-Penthenol has a soothing effect on the skin as well as stimulating the skin for growth of new cells. Both the lower and upper skin layers are being improved. The production of collagen and elastin are increased which prevents stretch marks.

5) Aloe Vera – With aloe vera, the skin is protected from environmental conditions and helps in the rejuvenation of the skin. This is not something new as well; in fact aloe vera has been used for thousands of years for the purpose of healing and moisturizing the skin.

So there you have it. As you can see the main ingredient is a component that will regenerate the skin and produce new skin cells to reduce the appearance of your stretch marks.
