The Absolute Best Stretch-Mark Creams, According to Dermatologists

Differin Acne Treatment Gel ($15)

This option must be saved for postpartum, but it's Dr. Castilla's recommendation for people who want to fade their stretch marks after they've had a baby. It contains retinoids — and therefore is not safe for unborn babies — which can potentially help speed up cell turnover and trigger collagen production after you give birth. The formula is also water-based, alcohol- and fragrance-free, and noncomedogenic so it won't clog your pores. But again, keep this one in your cart until you're no longer pregnant.
