Barmon Stretch Mark Cream Review

Stretch marks are tiny scars that are caused when your body expands faster than your skin can possibly stretch leading to stretching, tearing and scaring of the skin. These scars often appear as meandering red or white lines that make your skin resemble a road map. They are ugly and embarrassing. There is nothing that someone who has stretch marks wants more than to have them gone. There are many products on the market today that promise to fade stretch marks quickly and effectively making them less noticeable. Barmon stretch mark cream is one of those products.

The Barmon Promise

Barmon stretch mark cream not only promises to fade those old stretch marks but actually states they can prevent stretch marks from forming especially during pregnancy. All you need to do is rub the cream in twice a day and your stretch marks will quickly fade or will not appear at all. The company points to the fact that they have been making this cream for 30 years as proof that is effective at fading and reducing stretch marks.

Ingredients

Barmon stretch mark cream is loaded with ingredients including Purified water, Ceteayl alcohol, mineral oil, cocoa butter, wheat germ oil, lanolin, glycerin, amino acids, and benzoyl alcohol as well as several other ingredients. Of these ingredients the only one that are actively associated with helping to heal scar tissue and make it less noticeable is the wheat germ oil which contains vitamin E. Vitamin E is often recommended by doctors for patients who have had surgery to help heal the scars and make them less noticeable. Vitamin E works best on healing wounds to help limit scaring rather than on scars that have been there for years.

Does Barmon Actually Work For Stretch Marks?

The real question is whether this product actually works and does what it says it will do. One promise this product makes is that Barmon can help prevent stretch marks in pregnant women who use the product twice a day during the course of their pregnancy. It is a known fact, that many doctors recommend that pregnant women use moisturizing cream on their stomach and other areas susceptible to stretch marks to help prevent stretch marks from forming. The reason for this is that by keeping these areas soft and pliable, the skin is less likely to tear when it stretches. Since Barmon contains a ton of moisturizers one would expect it to help prevent stretch marks from forming and it does. However, Barmon cream works no better or worse than any other moisturizer for this purpose.

As for Barmon's stretch mark cream fading existing stretch marks, again we look to the ingredients. When you examine the ingredients of this product closely, you will see that it contains the same ingredients as most other stretch mark creams. This means that this cream will be no better or worse than most creams on the market. Considering that most of these creams have proven themselves to be ineffective at significantly fading existing stretch marks, it is likely that this cream too is just as ineffective. Reviews for this product, like for others of its kind are mixed with most people not seeing any real permanent significant change.

Conclusion

While Barmon stretch mark cream is inexpensive, it is also ineffective at fading existing stretch marks. You would be better off spending a little more for a quality cream that really works.
