Plastic surgeon John Kim, MD, and dermatologists Hadley King, MD, and Loretta Ciraldo, MD, agree: The best ingredient for reducing the appearance and texture of your stretch marks at home is a retinol, like the kind found in this body lotion from Paula's Choice. Why? Retinol kicks your cell turnover into overdrive, triggering collagen and elastin production to help smooth uneven texture and fade hyperpigmentation within a few months.
Typically, though, retinol can be super irritating, especially on sensitive skin, but this retinol body lotion incorporates shea butter and grapeseed oil to help minimize any potential dryness and flaking.
