Revitol Stretch Mark Prevention: Protect Your Skin During Change
Stretch marks (striae) occur when skin stretches faster than its elastic capacity allows. Pregnancy, rapid weight gain, growth spurts, and bodybuilding can all cause these purple-red lines that later fade to silvery-white. Revitol Stretch Mark Prevention creates a reservoir of elasticity-supporting nutrients to prevent new marks and improve existing ones.
Why Stretch Marks Form
The dermis contains collagen and elastin fibers that give skin its strength and flexibility. When skin stretches too quickly, these fibers tear. The body repairs the tears with scar tissue, but this tissue lacks the normal skin structure, creating the characteristic indented, discolored appearance of stretch marks.
Risk factors include:
- Pregnancy (especially third trimester)
- Rapid weight gain or loss
- Adolescent growth spurts
- Muscle building/bodybuilding
- Genetics (if your mother had them, you're more likely to)
- Corticosteroid use (thins skin)
Prevention is Key
Once stretch marks form, they can be improved but not erased. The best approach is prevention—keeping skin supple and elastic before and during periods of rapid stretching. Our formula provides:
Squalene Oil
Derived from olives, squalene is nearly identical to your skin's natural sebum. It penetrates deeply, creating a reservoir of moisture and nutrients that keeps skin supple during stretching. It also supports the skin's healing processes.
Vitamin E
A powerful antioxidant that protects skin cells from damage and supports the production of collagen and elastin. Essential for maintaining skin elasticity and promoting healing.
Vitamin A Palmitate
Supports cell turnover and collagen production. Helps repair existing stretch marks by encouraging normal skin cell development to replace scar tissue.
Grapefruit Seed Extract
Rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, which is essential for collagen synthesis. Helps protect skin structure during periods of rapid change.
Safe During Pregnancy
Specifically formulated to be safe for use during pregnancy. Free from retinoids, salicylic acid, and other ingredients contraindicated during pregnancy. Dermatologist and OB-GYN approved.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this topic, answered by experts.
When should I start using this during pregnancy?
"Start as early as possible—ideally in the first trimester, before your belly really starts to grow. Prevention is far more effective than treatment. By the time you see stretch marks forming, the damage has already occurred. Using the cream consistently from early pregnancy creates a reservoir of elasticity-supporting nutrients that protects skin as it stretches. Continue through pregnancy and for 2-3 months postpartum."
