StriVectin-SD.

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.

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 ground breaking 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 significant, 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.”

StriVectin is probably the fastest working treatment I have ever used. I used it on my neck and chest and the StriVectin-SD Eye Cream around my eyes. Within days, my neck was smoothing out, and within a month, the few lines I have on my neck and chest are greatly diminished. The entire area is toned, a bit taught, and such an even shade of color. The fine lines around my eye are gone. Totally gone! The area is almost strangely smooth with no lines whatsoever.

General thoughts of mine while using:
*The cream is heavy, a little goes a long way
*The aromatic oils, mostly of peppermint, are very strong.
*No other moisturizer is needed when using this
*Apply it sparingly twice a day
*Use it wherever you want results.

StriVectin-SD is $135 for a 6 oz tube. The Eye Cream (which is the same formula without the peppermint oils) is $59 for a 1.3 oz tube. StriVectin is available from their official website, at beauty.com, Sephora, Nordstrom and Macy’s stores, and I even saw this at Costco, where it was under $100.
