StriVectin-SD. I am sure you have seen the commercials, the ads, and possibly even the knock-offs. It is everywhere. The "better than botox" cream.

We could not wait to use Stri-Vectin in our experiment. Here is who gave it a try: Teri – 30 something, Laurie – 40 something, Brandie – 50 something, and Rose – 60 something.

From the StriVectin website, a description of how StriVectin-SD works:

"StriVectin-SD includes a proprietary complex of skin firming agents, elasticizers, and skin hydrators… adding up to the most comprehensive topical formulation shown to effectively confront virtually every aspect of visible stretch mark reduction.
A groundbreaking series of studies has demonstrated, without a doubt, the amazing effectiveness of StriVectin-SD’s® functional isolates. After reviewing and verifying the clinical data, an incredible 93% of subjects saw a signifigant, visible reduction in the appearance of stretch marks. The unequivocal, verified results speak for themselves. But there’s more. Clinical observations further document the ability of StriVectin-SD’s independent isolates to dramatically improve the appearance of: Indented surfaces, Smooth surfaces, Skin firmness, Irregularities in skin discoloration."

Our thoughts while using:

• The cream is heavy, a little goes a long way

• The aromatic oils, mostly of peppermint, are very strong. Use caution around the eyes, nose, and lips.

• No other moisturizer is needed when using this

• Apply it sparingly twice a day

• Use it wherever you want results.
