Our read on it
Start with the honest part: no cream is proven to prevent stretch marks. Genetics and how fast the skin stretches decide that far more than any product. What this balm genuinely does is moisturise deeply and ease the itch, and the itch is the real complaint in the third trimester when the skin pulls. Buy it for comfort, not for a promise of prevention, and it will not disappoint you.
Pros
- A thick texture that moisturises deeply and eases tightness
- Relieves the itch, which is the real third-trimester complaint
- Reasonably priced against pricier pregnancy oils
- A cocoa scent many find comforting
Cons
- It does not prevent stretch marks, and no product does
- The thick texture marks clothing
- A strong scent that can bother anyone with pregnancy nausea
Important safety information
Patch test a small area first, since skin becomes more reactive in pregnancy. External use only. Avoid broken or cracked skin. Stop and see a doctor for a rash, severe itching or spreading redness, because severe itching in pregnancy can signal a liver condition that needs medical assessment rather than a cream.
