I was really happy with both of these creams and found them to be really hydrating. At first they felt quite wet when I was rubbing into the skin, which is something I dislike about moisturisers etc, however both creams rubbed in really well and felt really nourishing. As this was my second pregnancy, I already had stretch marks from my first pregnancy, so obviously I wasn’t going to be scar free by 9 months, however I don’t think my marks were any worse. After using the Stretch Mark Defence for a few weeks I really thought my skin felt soft and healthy. Now I’ve had my baby I’ve moved on to using the Solution for Stretch Marks and although I don’t think it will get rid of my stretch marks entirely, I’m hoping they will fade like they did after my first pregnancy.
The Stretch Mark Defence spray is actually a new one for me in terms of having a spray form of stretch mark defence, it’s nice because it absorbs quickly and there is far less oily residue.
I am pregnant and have been applying various creams and oils to my bump daily, so far no major stretch marks but I have seen the beginning of a few fine lines so I was more than happy to review the SOS Stretch Mark Defence. This oil is very different to those I have used previously; to start with it is a fine spray that you direct onto your bump and then rub in. So easy to use and I am sure this will be handy as my bump grows! There is no particular scent, just a clean, fresh smell and no oily residue, so perfect for after a morning shower and before work! The oil feels lovely on my skin and I have found that a little goes a long way… I have also been using the Solution for Stretch Marks, just concentrating on the fine lines and so far so good; they have not grown or darkened in colour – fingers crossed! Would I recommend these products? Yes, I think so, certainly based on the results I have had so far.
I love that it isn’t greasy. So often you massage these things in and you end up feeling like your hands have been sat in a tub of oil but this soaks in and disappears, leaving your stomach feeling lovely and smooth. You don’t have to wait for it to soak in, enabling yourself to get dressed right away. So, does it work? Well I don’t seem to have gained any further stretch marks and I do have a rather large stretched bump now!

I would definitely recommend this fantastic product. It’s expensive but I think it’s worth every penny.
This stretch mark defence spray from Science of Skin has been amazing. I had tried several oils on my skin but didn’t like the residue it left afterwards. This simple spray on oil completely absorbs into my skin so I can spray, rub and go!
I received a can of stretch mark defence spray from a friend when I was 12 weeks pregnant, I have been using it twice a day after the shower ever since. I’m now 30 weeks pregnant with a decent size bump and have no stretch marks at all! The light oil spray is quickly absorbed and doesn’t leave my skin or clothes feeling greasy, I apply it to my bump, hips and waist and have so far only needed to reorder one further can, so a little definitely goes a long way. With my first pregnancy I had loads of angry red stretch marks and my skin was so itchy, but stretch mark defence has made such a difference in this pregnancy, my skin feels soft and moisturised, hasnt itched at all and as I said before there is not a single stretch mark visible. I’m really impressed and will continue to use this product after baby is born to help my skin stay healthy as I lose my bump. Thoroughly recommend and will be gifting this to all my mum-to-be friends
