Thalgo Stretch Mark Cream-Review
Product Claims of Thalgo Stretch Mark Cream
The review below of this Stretch Mark Cream examines this product in more detail. The manufacturer, Thalgo, claims that this product is useful for preventing but also managing the appearance as well as formation of stretch marks (that is, micro tears that develop as the skin is pulled). Instead, this product claims to help to prevent unsightly marks, and to enhance the cutaneous surfaces of the skin. In addition, this product claims to stimulate the growth of new skin, while nourishing it. Keep reading for more details.
Ingredients
- Marine Collagen
- Marine Elastin
- Centella Asiatica plant
- Tamanu Oil
- Vitamin E
The ingredients in this formula help to nourish the skin, and produce collagen. The centella asiatica plant helps to feed the skin while increasing collagen production, whereas wheat germ oil (an anti-free radical) assists in hydrating the skin. The formula, however, lacks certain key scientific research elements found effective at treating stretch marks. These include medical grade silicone, aloe vera, onion extract, emu oil, palmarosa, lavender, safflower, sunflower, and even vitamin C.

The manufacturer of this stretch mark product recommends applying this product daily on the affected areas.

Summary Of Our Thalgo Stretch Mark Cream Review
The product Stretch Mark Cream seems acceptable. It comes with a money-back guarantee and the list of ingredients seems promising. However, the guarantee’s return time and the limitation of a 75% full product means that, even though a consumer can test the product on their skin, it is not enough to truly gauge the product’s efficacy. The manufacturer states that this product is effective if combined with others. There are other products on the market that are stand-alone products which do not need to be combined with others. Furthermore, the product’s dosage instructions are unclear. The poor guarantee pledge is accompanied by no discounts or package deals that would have made this stretch mark product more affordable. The formula is also a concern. Even though the ingredients are promising, there are no ingredients clinically proven to reduce stretch marks included in the formula. The guarantee is weak, and there are no incentives for the consumer. Quality is expected of a product, which should deploy ingredients known to work. The lack of medical grade silicone is a concern. There are other similar products offering better quality ingredients and stronger formulas.
