Elastoderm cream in morning and bio oil oil at night. Continue applying this till the end of pregnancy and if needed for a few months after pregnancy delivery too. Hope this is helpful.

Hello, Stretch mark occur when the elastic limit of skin is reached and collagen fibres rupture. Though various creams are advertised not all are reliable. Important is good skin hydration and a massage with oils containing vitamin e and coco butter. Do regular massage during the pregnancy to prevent stretch marks.
