Belli Stretch Mark Minimizing Cream Review

One look at the plethora of anti stretch mark products on the shelves of most stores is enough to understand that these creams and lotions are much in demand. However, for a person looking to purchase a product that will yield the desired results, the sheer variety of preparations can pose a dilemma. It's not unusual to see a new product being introduced to the market accompanied with a lot of hype; in the midst of the chaos, it is difficult to ensure the veracity of the claims made by the manufacturer. So, here is a look at a new anti stretch mark preparation, Belli Stretchmark minimizing cream and the results that it can deliver.

What is Belli Stretchmark Minimizing Cream and how does it work?

 It is a non greasy topical preparation from Belli, manufacturer of women's cosmetic products. Belli claims that their anti stretch mark product can help to bring about a reduction in the stretch mark surface area and length by 52% and a decrease in depth of up to 72%. The stretch mark minimizing cream has reparative properties and it helps to reduce the appearance of existing stretch marks. The product contains registril and darutoside, ingredients which are effective against stretch marks. Some clinical tests have been conducted to analyze the efficacy of these compounds in reducing stretch marks; it was found that they work on all skin types.

The ingredients

 Isopropyl Palmitate, Sodium PCA, Glycerine, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Rutin (and) Cetyl Hydroxyethylcellulose (and) Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3 (and) Phaseolus Lunatus (Green Bean) Extract (and) Palmitoyl Oligopeptide , Hydrolyzed Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Seedcake, Centella Asiatica Extract, Cyclomethicone, Darutoside, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil , Glyceryl Stearate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Fruit , Phenoxyethanol, Panax Ginseng Root Extract,  Carbomer, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil , Triethanolamine and others.

The pros

• The belli stretch mark minimizing cream preparation is non greasy and quick absorbing
• It helps to improve skin texture
• It only has to be used twice a day for a month and thereafter once a day till the desired results are achieved
• At $49, the product is not particularly expensive
• It contains several herbal ingredients that are known to tighten the skin and even assist in reducing the dark reddish or purplish appearance of scars and marks
• Helps to reduce the appearance of stretch marks if used during pregnancy.

The cons

• The product does not help to completely eliminate existing stretch marks nor does it prevent the appearance of new blemishes entirely.
• Some Belli customer reviews of the product reveal that while the preparation might work for younger women, it proves to be quite futile for ladies in their late thirties and early forties
• Only two of the ingredients have been subjected to clinical trials, so there is a possibility of an allergic reaction to some of the other compounds and herbal ingredients used in the product.
• There is no money back guarantee
• The manufacturer fails to offer in depth information on the clinical trials conducted.
• There is also no mention of who conducted these trials and on whom were the studies conducted; for instance, the trials may have very well been simple animal tests.

The verdict

While Belli does not make inflated claims about their stretch mark minimizing product and have not suggested that the product can completely eliminate the appearance of existing or future stretch marks, at best, you can expect the product to improve skin texture. The ingredients used in the Belli stretch mark cream are common to most anti stretch mark preparations, so it would be overtly optimistic to expect conspicuous results from Belli Stretchmark minimizing cream.
