Looking for a good value body moisturiser? You can try St. Ives Collagen Elastin formula. Very rich, and easy to apply, leaves skin soft and smooth quickly.
Very affordable, you can get the 532ml bottle. I love this and use this as a massage cream for my husband, occasionally as a hand cream. It smells delicious, like a watermelon flavoured cream. Some fragrance dont’ linger around, but this does…. so you smell fresh all day long.
If you’ve extremely dry skin, try this product. I came back from icy Korea, skin all crumpy-like dried prunes, a few days of this moisturiser and I’m back to old supple skin. Although it says collagen, I doubt it helps stretchmarks. Only recommended as a good moisturiser.

One of the reasons why we all love PALMER’s is because their products are always affordable. I’m not a big fan of PALMER’s products, but I have tried many of them – doesn’t hurt to spend that lil’ bit of money to treat our skin problems in the early stages rather than visit an expensive specialist at once. For those who have tried the dozens of stretchmark creams available in the market, I’m not sure if you have tried the massage cream for stretchmark from Palmer’s.
They market it as a pregnancy stretchmarks cream, which I think is more concentrated than most of their regular stretchmark creams. With a special combination of their usual cocoa butter formula, Vit E, collagen and elastin – the most essential elements of a good stretchmarks treatment cream, it helps prevent and reduce stretchmark. I have to say this – it DOESN’T yet REMOVE the stretchmarks, at least for me… but I’m finding it a good enough cream since I don’t have any extra appearing.
Comes in a 4.4 oz tube, it is a thick cream, it can be fussy to apply and leaves your hands sticky, but is a very good massage cream. If you have the time to take good care of your stretchmarks, invest in one of these. They’re not expensive and I personally find it a good exercise – because it’s such a thick cream, application takes a longer time for the skin to absorb it completely.
