Purchase this to start using fairly early on in my pregnancy. Like most pregnant women, was concerned about stretch marks. Liked the fact that it was fragrance free. But I would not recommend this product to friends because 1) it is very sticky so not only does it get all over your clothes...it makes your clothes stick to your body 2) considering it is for a pregnant women, it scored very high (which is not good) on the level of toxicity on the safe cosmetics database site.

Mustela not for me
rating: 2
I'm in my 4th month of pregnancy and have been using Mustela for 1,5 month now. I've been recommended this product by my friends who recently had babies and didn't get any stretch marks (they were using Mustela on regular basis for more than 7 months).
I cannot comment on its results on stretch marks as I haven't got any (yet).
2 drawbacks of the cream that I find very disturbing:
- smell- it's definitely too strong for me and makes me sick each time I apply the cream. The smell rests a long time on the skin and the clothes absorb it, too.
- moisture- it stays the whole day on your body and makes the skin sticky (even if you apply a thin layer)!
I've been desperately looking for another product to replace this one (I really tried hard using Mustela for 1,5 month every morning- impossible to use it twice a day as recommended!) and just bought Bio Oil that I'm going to try.

6 months pregnant and could not live without this!
rating: 5
I am 6 months pregnant and received this lotion from my mother after telling her I could not locate a lotion I liked. I tried cheaper lotions from the store that said they were meant for stretch marks, however, after a few hours they dried out and left my skin dry. I never knew how dry your tummy area skin could get while pregnant. Also, in the last few weeks I have had pain with my skin stretching out. However, when I feel my skin pulling I apply this lotion and it take the pain away fast! The skin was just dry and stretching too much. I used to forget to use this everyday but now I use it after I get out of the shower. I rub a decent amount in a circular motion all over my belly area. I can feel it moisturizing my skin as soon as I apply it. I love the smell of it; it is very clean and fresh. I would recommend letting it air dry for at least 20 minutes before dressing. It does not appear to stain any of my clothes, however if it is not dry your clothes will stick to it.
I know it is expensive but a little of this lotion goes a long way. One bottle will last me throughout the pregnancy. After using this I will not go back to store bought brands or regular lotion, this one works!

I used this product everyday, twice a day and even rubbed it in just like the directions said. 8 months in and no strech marks but... in the last couple of weeks my stomach was full of them. Don't waste your money ladies.

So far so good....
rating: 4
I'm now 1 week shy of being 5 months pregnant and have been using this for about 2 months or so. No stretch marks so far, the smell does not annoy me like the shea butter/cream does... and it seem to help ease some of the tightness that I feel once in a while. Am planning to get more.
