What You Need To Know:

Recommended by gynaecologists and obstetricians, the Pharmaceris Stretch Mark Cream prevents the development of stretch marks and strengthens the weakened and oversensitive skin structure during pregnancy.

Best suited for use from the fourth month of pregnancy and also suitable for use by nursing mothers or those experiencing weight fluctuations, Pharmaceris' stretch mark cream provides comprehensive care for weakened skin using folic acid, which stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis to make the skin more supple so it's able to stretch out more gently. It improves skin's resilience, which promotes a uniform skin texture and prevents stretch marks. The high tolerance cream also features a phyto-complex with a slimming and firming effect, while dry and taut skin is effectively nourished, softened and moisturised using cottonseed oil and skin-repairing, antioxidant vitamin E.

Why It's Escentual:

Sometimes, the best way to treat a concern is by preventing it in the first place! And that's exactly the angle that Pharmaceris are adopting here with the Pharmaceris M Foliacti Stretch Marks Preventing Cream. Suitable for use from the fourth month of pregnancy, it prepares your body for the natural stretching that occurs, especially during the later stages of pregnancy, so your skin is comforted and supported along the way. And, as you'll be using it during your pregnancy journey, we love that it's been put to its paces before its release; not only has it been clinically and dermatologically- tested, but it's also recommended by healthcare professionals. It has a fresh, lightly floral aroma and a rich but smooth, fast-absorbing texture so it's pleasant to use too.

The Best Way To Use It:

This product is safe for use by pregnant women from the second trimester onwards. It will not interfere with ultrasound scans.

Use in the morning and at bedtime on the areas where stretch marks are most likely to develop. Gently spread the cream upwards in circular motions, focusing particularly on the abdomen, hips, thighs and buttocks. Avoid intense massage, skin stretching or any mechanical pressure on the abdomen.

If using to prevent stretching during general weight fluctuations, use in the morning and at bedtime on the areas where stretch marks are likely to develop.

The Sustainable Side:

The cream is held in a plastic tube within a cardboard box sourced from FSC-certified sources; they can both be popped in the recycling after use.

Values:

Clinically and dermatologically-tested.
