STRETCH MARKS

Improve stretch marks, skin tone and texture before you step into the sunshine with the REMESCAR STRETCH MARK CREAM(£24.95, 100ml)–. an easily absorbed, hypoallergenic, odourless and paraben-free cream that uses the same technology as the treatment stick but is specifically formulated to prevent and treat stretch marks.

In clinical trials, users experienced a 50% decrease in stretch marks in just 28 days1, said their skin felt softer and smoother than before and that the pulling sensation in skin had completely gone. The addition of Phospholipids which mimic the structure of skin tissue means skin won’t dehydrate, unlike most cosmetic products using classical hydrating ingredients. Keeping skin sufficiently hydrated is the key weapon in stretch mark reduction, so that connective and scar tissues have chance to repair themselves.

REMESCAR SILICONE SCAR STICK (£19.95, 5.4g)–an easy to apply stick similar in size to a sun care or deodorant stick that helps to heal old and new scars resulting from burns, insect bites, acne and stretch marks. The stick can be carried anywhere, will last up to three months when applied twice a day and is invisible upon application so can be worn under make up.
