None: There are no good remedies that I am aware of. With time, they become less visible.

Nothing works: No mess work on stretch marks. A tummy tuck can get rid of stretch marks below belly button. But you get a big scar in its place.

Unlikely: Retin-a may help dark stretch marks to soften in color and moisturizers may ease the dryness associated with striae but the rumors about cocoa butter, lanolin, vitamin e, aloe vera are largely unfounded and essentially old wives tales.
