Review – Alpha E for stretch Marks
Alpha E is a very light oil which is fortified with vitamins A, C & E, borage oil and bisabolol. It is designed as an anti oxidant fluid to protect against 80% of the major causes of skin damage. Vitamin E is protective against free radical damage and can soften and moisturise the skin.
I have used this on my stretch marks on my tummy and it really does help. I have tried quite a few retinol products on my stretch marks plus some cheaper Avon products with shimmer that hides them. The main success with this oil is that is has made reddy/purple stretch marks go silver and less visible. I have also used derma roller which I will review later and used in conjuction wiht the alpha E with great results. Whilst it doesn’t remove them completely it really seems to help the actual skin damage and skin tears.
The vitamin A in it is supposed to enhance elasticity and reduce scaliness. I had some skin damage on my hands, from doing some washing up and not using gloves. My skin is very sensitive and I developed contact dermatitis and this oil has helped soften and the dryness that the dermatitis gives me. The vitamin C is good for preventing scarring and I have also used this on my tummy and hands. On my very dry skin on my hands is feels a little oily, but on the tummy it just feels luxurious. A little goes a long way.
Later I’ll include some pictures/video (before and after) of my sons stretch marks as he gained weight rapidly and these formed on his skin. It is pretty expensive, but a little goes a long way. It depends on your budget. I use one dropper in my hand and rub it over my tummy. Try it and see if you like it yourself. Let me know how you get on.
