Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work for all genders and skin types?

Absolutely! Our oil targets the source of stretch marks - changes in collagen and elastin - which is consistent across skin types.

How do I know it will work for me?

Our products are supported by independent scientific research and designed to target the underlying structural changes associated with stretch marks.

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

Our Redefining Stretch Mark Cream is formulated to visibly reduce the appearance of existing stretch marks, helping improve skin texture and tone. Our Collagen X Defence Oil supports skin elasticity and resilience during periods of rapid change, helping to minimise the likelihood of stretch marks forming.

How does the money-back guarantee work?

Try our Stretch Mark Programme as directed for 12 weeks and if you’re not satisfied with the visible improvement, just email us at hello@strialab.com.

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.

If you have any concerns, always consult your healthcare provider.

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.
