We are looking into all the facts to see if this product is the most affordable and effective stretch mark lotion on the market. The lotion contains the following ingredients which the company claims will help to keep the skin moisturized and more elastic. The ingredients are; Pure Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter, Natural Oils, Collagen, Elastin, and Lutein. Keep reading to see if this product is the most effective stretch mark lotion on the market.
Ingredients
- Cocoa Butter
- Shea Butter
- Vitamin E
- Lutein
- Argan Oil
- Almond Oil
- Coconut Oil
Cocoa Butter helps to soften scar tissue deep within the skin as it is an antioxidant that is easily absorbed. Other than the natural oils and ingredients, we were surprised to learn that there are additional alcohol based ingredients, preservatives and fragrances in this formula that might cause irritation, or dry the skin especially if you have sensitive skin.
Dosage Instructions
Apply the lotion up to three times a day including after bathing. The company claims that the lotion helps to lock in moisture for up to 48 hours, but we are not aware of any scientific or non scientific method of verifying this. This is a non-greasy lotion is and can be used all over the body use in place of a regular moisturizer.
Cost and Guarantee
The lotion is not available for purchase directly on the company website but there is a tab on the website that points you to some suggested online retailers including Walgreens, Walmart, Target, and CVS. Walgreens sells a 8.5 fl oz bottle for $7.99, but prices vary among retailers so shop around for the best deal. In terms of a guarantee, the company website states that If not completely satisfied, you may return the product for a full refund of the purchase price but it does not give any details about what the rules of the policy are. The company does not say how many days you have to return the product in order to qualify for a full refund. Without being able to get specifics on the policy we feel that such a policy is unreliable to you the consumer.
Summary Of Our Palmer’s Massage Lotion Review
There were some things we liked about Palmer’s Massage Lotion. It is quite reasonably priced when compared with other moisturizers and stretch mark creams on the market. The product seemed to be readily available at many online retailers which showed that it has some market share and is a product that consumers are looking to buy. We did have some negative comments too. Since the lotion is quite strongly scented, it’s possible that since pregnant women are very sensitive to smell and have sensitive skin, this may not be the best option for everyone. We were disappointed to see that although the company website mentions if not completely satisfied, you may return the product for a full refund of the purchase price, it does not provide any details about what the rules of the policy are. Without providing specifics on the policy we feel that such a policy is unreliable to you the consumer. In terms of review comments, some liked the product and said it helped but others complained about the scent being too strong for them or that the lotion did not help lessen the appearance of stretch marks. For these reasons, we are unable to recommend Palmer’s Massage Lotion For Stretch Marks.
