After 8 weeks, my stretch marks are much less dimply, and the colour is starting to fade. It took a month to really start to see a difference.

my stomach is tightening faster this time round

I am on week 3.5weeks into using this product and I can see a difference in the pigmentation of the stretch marks on my stomach.They are not as purple as they were and definitely more reduced I started using this only 2 weeks after giving birth so my stomach is, as expected, still recovering and this is my second child. I have noticed that my stomach is tightening faster this time round

1 month in and just WOW

This is the same leg. In the same position. Photos taken one month apart. I actually cant believe the results! I’ve been using the kit religiously as instructed and it works amazing. Over Summer I haven’t wanted to get in my bikini because of my stretch marks, but now I’m much more confident! Thanks you so much Strialab! I will be telling all my friends!

Very happy with the progress so far.

I’ve been using this cream twice daily for the last 4 or so months and have definitely seen visible improvements on my stretch marks. I have also been using the microneedle roller more frequently than recommended, around 2-3x week which I think has helped. Very happy with the progress so far.

I recommend to all my Mummy friends

From the first time I used it I was instantly shocked at the results. I haven’t been great at being consistent with the product but have been hugely impressed with the difference it’s made regardless. I recommend strialab to all of my other mummy friends.

Been using Stria Lab Stretch Mark Cream for three months now. The difference is amazing. My stretch Marks are less prominent almost half disappeared or have shrunken in size. My thighs are more firm and skin tone are more even. What a game changer.

How it Works

How it Works

Tick Collagen-supporting care
Powered by TECA™—a Centella asiatica extract studied for its role in collagen production—to support skin through periods of rapid change.
Tick Multi-Level Hydration
Three molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid help attract and retain moisture, keeping skin hydrated, supple and comfortable.
Tick Supports Suppleness
Nourishes and conditions stretching skin, helping it feel flexible, resilient and prepared for change.
Tick Soothes and Protects
Helps comfort dry, tight-feeling skin and support its natural moisture barrier throughout periods of rapid change.

Research behind TECA

Research informing our approach includes a double-blind study of 80 pregnant women using a separate multi-ingredient cream containing Centella asiatica extract, vitamin E and collagen-elastin hydrolysates. Note: Results are specific to the formula tested, not our Defence Oil.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work for all genders and skin types?

Stretch marks can affect people of all genders and skin types. Our oil is designed for use across skin types, helping keep stretching skin hydrated, supple and resilient. Its formula is informed by the changes in collagen and elastin associated with stretch marks.

How do I know it will work for me?

Everyone’s skin is different, so results can vary. Our oil combines TECA™ and triple Hyaluronic Acid in a formula designed around the collagen and elastin changes associated with stretch marks. With consistent use, it helps keep stretching skin hydrated, supple and resilient during periods of rapid change.

What's the difference between the cream and the oil?

Our Redefining Stretch Mark Cream delivers targeted daily care for existing stretch marks, with TECA™ and Actigym™ to support smoother-, firmer-looking skin.

Our Collagen X Defence Oil helps keep stretching skin nourished, supple and resilient during periods of rapid change. It is powered by TECA™—a Centella asiatica extract studied in formulations developed to support skin prone to stretch marks.

Can I use while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Our products are formulated by mums, for mums, and exclude ingredients typically avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding, such as retinoids, phthalates and parabens.

Always consult your healthcare provider before use.

When is the best time to treat stretch marks?

Prevention is always better than correction.

Supporting your skin early helps it stay resilient during periods of rapid change.

If you already have stretch marks, start early. New stretch marks are often red and raised and tend to respond more quickly to a consistent routine. Over time, they become lighter in colour and more settled in tone.

Begin using the programme as soon as stretch marks appear for optimal visible improvement.

Very happy with the product, I’m 38weeks pregnant and use it twice a day

Thank you so much, Faye! We’re delighted that you’re enjoying the oil and have made it part of your daily routine. Wishing you all the very best for the exciting weeks ahead! Meg x

Hande A.

I’ve been really enjoying using this stretch mark oil throughout my pregnancy. It makes my skin feel incredibly soft, moisturised, and well nourished, and the scent is very pleasant without being overpowering.

I haven’t reached the end of my pregnancy yet, but so far I haven’t developed any stretch marks. Of course, I’ll need to see whether this continues all the way to full term, but at the moment I’m very happy with the results. I have a lot of faith and hope in this product and will definitely keep using it!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Hande! We’re delighted that the oil is keeping your skin feeling nourished throughout your pregnancy. Wishing you all the very best for the rest of your pregnancy!

Too early to say if this is working but so far so good. Feels great on skin, hydrating and supple. Using it on areas that are prone to marks now that I’m pregnant and a good product to incorporate into routine.

Thank you, Liv! We’re so glad the oil feels hydrating and leaves your skin feeling supple. It’s lovely to hear that it has fitted easily into your routine, and we really appreciate you sharing your early experience with us. Wishing you all the best with your pregnancy! Meg x

I really wanted to love this product because the formula has everything I was looking for! And it absorbs so nicely. But I find the scent SO overpowering and nauseating, unfortunately it’s very triggering for a pregnant woman!

Hi Emma, thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad you liked the formula and how well the oil absorbs, but we’re very sorry that you found the scent overwhelming - especially during pregnancy, when sensitivity to fragrance can be heightened. We’ll share your comments with our product team, as feedback like this is invaluable to us.

Used this oil as part of a package - with the roller and two tubes of the cream. Is nice to apply and isn’t greasy despite being very hydrating. I feel like I had more benefits from using the cream though, as I continued to see improvements once the serum ran out

Thank you for your feedback, Reiss. We’re glad you enjoyed how hydrating and non-greasy the oil feels. The oil is actually designed primarily to help defend against new stretch marks during periods of stretching, whereas the cream and microneedling programme are designed to target existing marks, so it makes sense that you saw more visible improvement from those. Thanks again! Meg x

I cannot recommending the stretch mark oil enough. I used it religiously throughout my whole pregnancy (I even played the same song while I did it and made a little ritual of applying it to bond with the baby!) and it has the loveliest texture, it's silky and not greasy at all - I've tried lots of other stretch mark oils that are sticky and thick. I'm now 4 weeks postpartum and I didn't get a signal stretch mark during my pregnancy. I will be buying this as a present for all my pregnant friends!

This is such a beautiful review, Shannan - thank you so much for sharing it with us. We absolutely love that applying the oil became a little ritual for you and your baby 🥹 And hearing that you made it through your pregnancy without a single stretch mark is incredible. Congratulations on your new arrival, and thank you for trusting Striā Lab to be part of such a special time.

Really hydrating and feels great going onto my skin, doesn't leave any residue on clothing. Not sure how effective it is in terms of being preventative as have still developed some stretch marks. p.s. It would be great if you could unscrew the bottle top to get the last drops of the oil out!

Hi TL, thank you for your review! We’re so pleased you’re loving how hydrating and lightweight the oil feels. While no product can completely prevent stretch marks, this is your best shot with it's clinically backed ingredients. Thanks too for the bottle feedback - we’ll definitely take it on board.

I’m 21 weeks so too early to say if it’s helped in pregnancy yet but it’s lightweight which is nice and have heard good things. The only thing I didn’t realise it had perfume in it which I would usually avoid due to it affecting hormones but that’s on me for looking for perfume in ingredients instead of aroma! 80/20 natural rule so going to stick with it temporarily ☺️

Hi Kirstie, thank so so much for sharing your experience. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out. Wishing you the best on your pregnancy journey!

Smells lovely, I swear I can see a difference the marks I had from my first pregnancy seems to be fading and the ones from this pregnancy are definitely being prevented. It oil is very absorbent and doesn't just sit on the skin. The only thing I don't like is the after feeling of it but that's nothing to do with the oil, it's more a sensitivity issue I have. Don't waste money on bio oil or any other lotions and potions, go straight to this.

Thank you so much for sharing this - we’re so glad you’re seeing a difference!

And really appreciate the note on the after-feel too, that’s super helpful. So glad it’s working well for you!

1 week post partum and not one stretch mark after using this throughout my entire pregnancy! Also smells so nice and not greasy or oily like all the others I used in my first pregnancy which didn’t sink in fully and ruined lots of clothes! Would highly recommend this!

So glad to hear this, Molly - and huge congratulations
We’re so happy it felt lightweight and easy to use throughout, thank you for trusting us with your skin.

It’s so lightweight, no sticky feeling which is great just before bed or getting dressed. I’m almost 30 weeks, first baby and skin is looking smooth! Hard to rate how it’ll be full term, but so far loving it!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re so happy to hear you’re loving the texture and that your skin is feeling smooth — that’s exactly what we love to hear. Congratulations on your pregnancy!

I’m in my second trimester with my third baby and I’ve just set aside my other oil in favor of the collagen X Stretch Mark Defence oil. I love how it feels on my skin and doesn’t make me feel greasy and sticky, plus it smells lovely and looks nice on my shelf.

Incredible product. Feels lovely on the skin and no new stretch marks in sight. I've also used it on old stretch marks and its improving their appearance even though I don't think it's technically made for this reason.
