Summary: Palmer's Cocoa Butter and Bio-Oil are the two of the most common go-to stretch mark products. But more and more moms are making the switch to the True Belly Serum. Here's why:

REASON 1

True Belly Serum contains the only 2 ingredients clinically shown to help prevent stretch marks

Studies have shown that there are only two ingredients which have been proven to help prevent stretch marks: centella asiatica and hyaluronic acid.

However, most stretch mark products do not contain either ingredient, or only contain trace amounts of it.

Palmer's main ingredients are cocoa butter, shea butter, petrolatum, and coconut oil. And Bio-Oil's #1 ingredient is mineral oil.

True Belly Serum is the only stretch mark product formulated with both centella asiatica and hyaluronic acid as key ingredients.

What The Studies Show

A PubMed study found that 89% of pregnant women who were prone to getting stretch marks and applied a centella asiatica cream did not get any stretch marks. Whereas, every single woman in the placebo group got them.

In a separate double-blind study, pregnant women were either given a hyaluronic acid cream, a cream with vitamins, or a placebo to apply. Of the women who applied the hyaluronic acid cream, only 10% of them developed stretch marks. Whereas for the women who applied the vitamin cream or placebo, nearly 40% of them ended up getting stretch marks.

Reason 2

It actually reaches the layer of skin where stretch marks form

Stretch marks form in the dermis, or middle layer of the skin.

Most butters, oils, and creams only sit on the surface of the skin and cannot reach this layer.

True Belly Serum is specially formulated with lightweight actives that can sink deep into the skin and support it where stretch marks form.

Reason 3

True Belly Serum uses a high potency 40% titrated centella asiatica extract

You may find other products that claim to contain centella asiatica too. So what makes the True Belly Serum different? It comes down to the concentration of active compounds in the centella extract.

The two active compounds in centella asiatica that are responsible for stimulating collagen synthesis and increasing skin elasticity are:

Asiaticoside

Madecassoside

Most centella asiatica extracts only contain 0.05% of these compounds. True Belly Serum uses a high potency titrated extract standardized to 40%.

True Belly Serum
40%

Asiaticoside + Madecassoside. Titrated extract at therapeutic concentration. This is the gold standard.

Most Centella Products
0.05%

Generic extract. Even if a product claims to be "100% centella extract", that extract may only contain 0.05% of active compounds and will not do much for your skin.

Reason 4

Formulated with clean, pregnancy-safe ingredients

True Belly Serum is formulated specifically for pregnant and postpartum moms.

It does not contain any retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, arbutin, parabens, or phthalates.

Unfortunately, many skincare products contain ingredients that aren't recommended for pregnancy or breastfeeding, including retinyl palmitate and phthalates which are often hidden under "fragrance" or "parfum".

“After I ordered one bottle, I had to make sure the next order was the trio bundle. I’m obsessed with this product. I have used it every day through out my pregnancy. So far no stretch marks and I’m almost 7 months. I love how it feels on my skin. It’s not greasy or oily. It feels nourishing and so good! Think of the best serum you’ve ever had, but for your belly! This is it! Five stars.”

“Im only at 7 months but i know this works because ive been using it morning and night but only on my belly. I havent gotten any stretch marks in that area. However, in places i havent used it like my thighs and butt, i have gotten stretch marks. Even though those places havent grown nearly as much as my belly has.”
