Zenmed Stretch Mark Cream
Introduction
Zenmed Stretta stretch mark cream is designed to help heal skin that’s been pulled too taut (either during a pregnancy, random growth spurt, or the like). Unlike many stretch creams, it can also be used for other skin issues, most notably on deep wrinkles. Although each bottle of the cream seems expensive at $49.99 a pop, a single bottle can last for literally months (using the cream more often is not advisable, since it contains ingredients which could actually damage the skin if used too overzealously).
What Does This Product Do?
Zenmed is a somewhat aggressive product that works on your skin by:
Burning away the top layers of skin (which are the most damaged by stretch marks)
Increasing collagen production
Increasing skin’s firmness
When all is said and done, the Zenmed product won’t go back in time to restore your skin, but instead do the opposite: bring the future (in which your skin has had time to heal) closer to the present day.
How Does it Work?
Zenmed works by using a few important ingredients. One of them is Glycolic Acid. Glycolic acid is usually used for skin treatments that require removing the topmost layers of skin (such as during a facial peel). The skin underneath is newer, pinker, fresher and softer. Because it needs time to heal, you should always wear sun block after using a product like Zenmed’s. The second powerful ingredient is Centillica Asiatica, which encourages collagen production to move just a little bit faster than is natural. It also includes several ingredients which are moisturizers, including sunflower oil.
Results
When you use this product, your stretch marks will fade. As is the case with many of these topical creams, the older and more severe your stretch marks are, the more difficultly you will have in hiding them. In the long run, your skin should definitely feel better, however there will be a recovery time required. Zenmed is not an overnight fix and should be taken seriously. You will likely have to stay out of the sunlight due to the fact that Glycolic acid can make your skin sensitive, which means you can’t start using it if you have a beach vacation cruise coming up in the future. When it comes to Zenmed, slow and steady win this race, so don’t use it if you’re easily discouraged and require immediately results to stay motivated.
Why It Is Recommended
Unlike with many stretch creams, there’s actually someone you can talk to even after you’ve made your purchase, since the company has constant customer service available to you. Zenmed is a trusted brand which also sells a lot of other skin and beauty products. This cream is recommended if you want your skin to feel (and actually be) new again, if you can abide by the strict directions to take precautions (don’t use this on your face!) and if you have the patience to wait for your skin to heal and show you positive results.
