Stretch marks are a completely natural part of how the body changes, yet they can still be something many people struggle to embrace. Although stretch marks can't be fully erased, there are ways to reduce their appearance, and our Collagen Body Oil does just that.
What are stretch marks, and what causes them?
Stretch marks are slightly sunken, narrow stripes that can appear on the skin. They occur when the dermis, which sits just beneath the first layer of skin, becomes stretched and its fibres within break, causing visible lines. This can be caused by fluctuations in weight, genetics and hormonal changes associated with puberty, pregnancy or growth spurts.
How does the Collagen Body Oil minimise the appearance of stretch marks?
Dermatologist approved, and suitable for all skin types, the 100% natural Collagen Body Oil is clinically proven to improve the overall appearance of skin with established stretch marks.* One standout ingredient that powers the formula is Immortelle Oil. Derived from the Helichrysum italicum flower, this proven ingredient is an expert solution for those looking to visibly reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
Here's how it works:
1. Stimulates the skin's natural repair process
Rich in regenerative molecules, Immortelle Oil has incredibly skin-renewing properties. It helps target the appearance of stretch marks, leaving skin visibly smoother and more refined over time. In an independent user trial, 80% saw a visible reduction in the appearance of stretch marks afters 12 weeks of use.**
2. Boosts collagen levels and skin elasticity
Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties help promote collagen production in the skin. In turn, this helps improve firmness and elasticity, preventing that 'crepey' texture. The proof? 86% of users agreed their skin felt firmer after just four weeks.**
3. Helps even skin tone
Immortelle Oil contains compounds that help calm redness and irritation, promoting more even-looking skin.
4. Deeply hydrates and strengthens the skin barrier
This nourishing yet lightweight oil helps lock in moisture and strengthen the skin barrier. Well-hydrated skin becomes more elastic and supple, helping soften the appearance of stretch marks and making them appear less defined.
