Stretch marks—or atrophic striae— are a common female blemish. They appear as visible streaks on the skin when it is fragile and not elastic enough, causing collagen fibers to break. Their formation has multiple causes, and they are usually localized in parts of the body most subject to changes and variations in volume and size, such as the thighs, hips, abdomen, and breasts . A stretch mark cream formulated with hydrating, elasticizing, and regenerating ingredients helps both prevent the formation of new stretch marks and improve the visibility of existing ones. In this article, you'll discover why skin "breaks," which molecules really work, and how Matt Stretch Mark Cream can become your daily ally.

What causes stretch marks

Stretch marks appear when collagen fibers stretch beyond their tensile strength. They initially appear pink or purple (the inflammatory phase), then turn pearly white (the scarring phase). Insufficient hydration and reduced elasticity accelerate this process, making multi-pronged treatment essential.

How a good stretch mark cream works

1. Increases elasticity – Active ingredients such as green algae, rich in proteins, have a regenerating and emollient action
2. Deeply hydrates – Hyaluronic acid nourishes and plumps the treated skin areas.

Documented benefits with consistent use

• More elastic and firm skin in 4 weeks – clinical test under dermatological control highlights an improvement in skin firmness and elasticity
• Visibly reduced appearance of stretch marks – regular use of the cream makes the skin smoother, firmer, and more toned, improving the appearance of existing stretch marks and preventing the formation of new ones. 
• Targeted prevention – regular use during “critical” phases (pregnancy, low-calorie diet, intensive gym work) helps keep the skin elastic, limiting the formation of new stretch marks.

When to introduce stretch mark cream

• During pregnancy : when the skin begins to stretch more quickly.
• During weight loss diets : the additional elasticity counteracts sagging due to loss of volume.
• In bodybuilding programs : rapid muscle growth can stress the dermis; keeping the skin nourished reduces the risk of stretch marks.
• During adolescence : Hormonal surges and rapid growth can tear tissue; good hydration early on makes all the difference.

How to maximize the effectiveness of a stretch mark cream

1. Regular application – twice a day, on cleansed and slightly damp skin to facilitate the absorption of the active ingredients.
2. Circular and transverse massage – stimulates microcirculation and evenly distributes the formula.
3. Internal hydration – drinking adequate amounts of water supports the plumping action

Quick answers to the most common doubts

Is stretch mark cream safe during pregnancy?
Cosmetic ingredients do not penetrate deeply and remain confined to the surface layers of the skin. Generally, there are no contraindications during pregnancy. However, we recommend consulting your gynecologist, as some professionals take a particularly cautious approach even when it comes to cosmetic use.

Can I use it on my breasts?
Of course: its silky texture and delicate ingredients make it suitable for breasts, abdomen, hips, buttocks and thighs.

Is it necessary to continue after giving birth or after the diet?
Continuing application helps the skin to gradually readjust, maintaining tone and elasticity.

Does it completely remove white streaks?
No cosmetic can completely eliminate them; the cream improves the uniformity, firmness, and visibility of stretch marks, making them less noticeable.
