Formulated especially for expectant mothers, Mustela Stetch Marks Double Action helps to prevent & reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Its ultra smooth texture is a joy to apply, offering instant comfort whilst acting on the factors that weaken skin & cause stretch marks. The patented Elastoregulator® formula activates the production of fibres that strengthen the skin, ensuring it becomes more supple & elasticised as you grow larger. A base of hydrating shea butter & avocado peptides provide skin with immediate relief, while a restructuring complex based on sophora japonica & oligo-elements promote cell renewal. Apply morning & night to belly, breasts, hips & thighs. If using Mustela Stretch Marks Double Action as a preventative treatment, use from the beginning of pregnancy until 1 month after giving birth. To treat the appearance of existing stretch marks, apply to affected areas for 2-3 months. If using after a Caesarian section, wait for a few weeks before applying to your scar.< P> No parabens, phthalates, phenoxyethanol, or chlorphenesin alcohol. High tolerance, hypoallergenic & dermatologically tested.
