Cream: Wash with a cleanser made for dry skin such as dove, eucerin, aveeno, (oatmeal) cerave. Soak in shower or bath, then, immediatlely after towling, rub in a cream. Some like heavy ointments such as vaseline or aquaphor. Most people prefer a cream with ceramides such as cerave, aveeno, (oatmeal) eucerin. Your stretch marks will slowly fade. There are treatments for stretch marks but they are not very effective.
