Can night creams help with stretch marks?
Short answer: Night creams are not specifically designed to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
Detailed answer
While night creams can be beneficial for hydrating and nourishing the skin, they are not formulated to target stretch marks. Stretch marks occur in the deeper layers of the skin and are caused by rapid stretching of the skin, often due to weight gain, pregnancy, or growth spurts. To effectively address stretch marks, treatments like topical creams and oils containing ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid, as well as laser therapy, microneedling, or dermabrasion, may be more effective. It's always best to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific stretch marks.
