If Skinception can be taken at face value to deliver on its claims, this stretch mark treatment would be hard to beat and result in almost zero treatment failures. So today, we review Skinception’s product for stretch marks. It is called Intensive Stretch Mark Therapy. Intensive Stretch Mark Therapy promises to deliver noticeable results in 4 weeks and that your red lines will be less visible by up to 72.5%.
Skin loses collagen when it stretches too much. The result is less elasticity and firmness. Sometimes, genetics also plays a role, and adequate hydration in the form of water is always important. Stretch marks are most prone to happen during pregnancy, hormonal changes such as puberty and menopause, and growth spurts. Growth spurts include the instance of gaining weight rapidly and losing it subsequently. The more cycles of skin expansion and contraction, the greater the likelihood of stretch marks.
Sometimes, cortisone-based cream and medications also weaken skin structure and contribute to red line formation.
What’s in Intensive Stretch Mark Therapy?
- Regestril – This activates collagen production.
- Darutoside – Darutoside is an anti-inflammatory that also improves elasticity.
- Pro-Svelty – Reduces scars.
- Pro-Coll-One – Assists collagen formation in the epidermis.
This formulation should work to help repair damaged and worn cells, and to stimulate new cells so the epidermis looks smooth, even-toned and supple. However, due to certain contributing factors present in each individual, stretch mark recovery time will invariably differ from person to person.
Potent amounts of Vitamin E and Vitamin C, especially in concentrated format, along with fatty acids would have been beneficial to this formula in all likelihood.
How Do You Use Intensive Stretch Mark Therapy?
Skinception comes in a 4 Oz jar which is designed to last for 1 or 2 months. Make sure the skin is clean then apply some to the lines. You can also apply some to skin where no stretch marks have appeared to keep the area supple, smooth and firm.
As the product isn’t completely natural we would err on the side of caution and advise pregnant and breastfeeding women to ask their doctor about using this product first. Stop using the product if you experience any untoward reactions such as burning and irritation.
Price
The jar sells for $69.95 which is expensive. However, there are bulk incentives on the website should you wish to purchase a 3-, 6-, or 9-month supply. You will qualify to receive another different Skinception product with each bulk purchase.
Is There a Guarantee?
A 90-day risk-free returns policy is in place. It is one of the better guarantees for a product but by no means singular or unique. We have found a handful of other products that come with similar generous guarantees.
The Conclusion of Our Skinception Intensive Stretch Mark Therapy Review
The formula is scientific in nature and research backs the finding that the product should in theory perform as stated – but as always, individual outcomes will vary. We like that the product targets both the length of the line, and how deep it is below the skin’s surface. The product also stimulates collagen production, which is what is required. It is designed solely to tack stretch marks as its primary purpose and not secondary aim and this too is good.
We would have liked to see a protective barrier in the form of medically compatible silicone included. This seals off the lines and helps them to repair quicker.
The product receives a surprisingly average set of reviews though. We think this is due to how expensive the product is. Consumers seem to expect more, based on the price. If price is a factor, try another product but make sure it is also risk-free.
