What is Palmer's Cocoa Butter

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion is an effective way to improve the skin elasticity and reduce the visibility of stretch marks. The blend of natural oils, including other ingredients, keep the skin moisturised for the next 48 hours allowing it to stretch more easily.

Stretch marks are streaks that can appear on the skin when it has to grow and stretch too quickly for the elasticity in it to allow. They are most frequently found on the stomach, hips, thighs, bottom and breast areas and are commonly found in pregnant women, appearing more so in the last trimester of the pregnancy but they can occur in men and in teenagers too. Stretch marks can be dark red, brown, pink, black, silver or purple in appearance. Once they appear, they will never disappear entirely but can sometimes fade over time. 

Whilst part of the natural process of expanding skin in many cases, some sufferers will find them unsightly and would seek to improve the way they look. Others will hope to prevent their appearance from coming in the first place! This can now be achieved with the use of products such as Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion which will work to improve the skin's elasticity so fewer stretch marks form, and will also reduce the appearance of ones already there.

What is the difference between Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion and Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel / Aveeno Daily Moisturising Creamy Oil?

Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel is a unique gel-to-oil formula which will nourish the skin by replenishing its natural barrier and deeply moisturising it. It is easily absorbed and creates a protective film to prevent moisture loss and rehydrate the skin to make it more supple, which should serve to prevent stretch marks from forming.

Aveeno Daily Moisturising Creamy Oil uses naturally active ingredients like Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion in the form of sweet almond oil and colloidal oatmeal. It moisturises as an oil and absorbs like a cream.

How effective is Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion?

Palmer's Cocoa Butter, Stretch Marks Lotion, has been clinically tested. It is hypoallergenic and dermatologist approved to provide treatment to the skin to prevent and reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

An 8-week trial of 102 female participants aged 18-49 showed that 98% saw improved elasticity in their skin. It is the reduced elasticity that causes it to rupture slightly, creating the stretch marks.

Lifestyle factors, genetics, diet and skin type all play a role in the forming of stretch marks, how severe they are and whether they will reduce significantly in appearance will differ from person to person. But an improvement in elasticity should assist with the severity – using this product as directed should help with this.

Skin can become more sensitive during pregnancy, so always do a patch test before using.

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion will keep skin supple and moisturised for up to 48 hours, which will allow it to stretch more easily.

Always follow the guidelines for use.

Can I buy Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion online?

Yes. Palmer's Cocoa Butter, Stretch Marks Lotion, is not a medicated product and does not require a prescription or any kind of medical questionnaire to be completed prior to purchase. As such, you can buy it easily from online retailers such as Click Pharmacy.

If you would like to receive it quickly, there is the option to make use of the next day delivery service. Select this option as part of the check out process, and you can have the product delivered to the address of your choosing the next day.

If you require any advice about your skin or the product in advance of purchase, please contact the experts at Click Pharmacy, who will be happy to help.

What dose should I choose?

As Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion is not a medicated product, it does not have a specific dose to be administered. The active ingredients which will help to maintain the skin's elasticity are pure cocoa butter, Shea butter, natural oils, collagen, elastin and lutein.

This product is gentle enough to be used several times per day for extended periods of time to keep the skin in good health.

How should I use Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion?

Palmer's Cocoa Butter, Stretch Marks Lotion, is for external use only. Simply massage the lotion into your preferred areas (those at risk of stretch marks appearing or areas where they are already in place) instead of using a regular moisturiser. The health benefits of the moisturiser are such that it can be used all over the body if preferred.

Use the lotion 3 times per day to see the full benefits for as long as is necessary.

Avoid contact with the eyes. If contact does occur, flush out with plenty of clean water.

For external use only. Always follow the instructions for use, which will be provided with the product packaging.

How does Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion work?

Palmer's Cocoa Butter, Stretch Marks Lotion, has a unique blend of many natural ingredients to help ensure the skin is cared for. The blend of pure cocoa butter, Shea butter, natural oils, collagen, elastin and lutein all work together to hydrate the skin thoroughly and then keep it moisturised and supple for up to 48 hours. This will then allow the skin to stretch more easily to prevent stretch marks from occurring in the first place.

For stretch marks that are already in place, the combination of ingredients will help the skin to heal by keeping it hydrated (moisture is imperative for the healing process) and will promote cell regeneration.

It is hypoallergenic, dermatologist approved and suitable for sensitive skin.

It is free of mineral oil, parabens, phthalates and phenoxyethanol.

How long do I use Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion for before I notice a difference?

From the first use of Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion, you will notice your skin feeling more supple, hydrated, softer and moisturised. Any itchiness associated with dry skin or the stretching of it should also be eased.

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion works effectively as a preventative measure, so continue to use for as long as is necessary. Some users will also notice a reduction in the appearance of existing stretch marks within a few weeks of continuous use as directed. 

Use Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion 3 times per day for the best results.

What are the side effects of Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion?

As with any products for the skin, there can be some adverse reactions, although these are rare and are often as a result of an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients. In extremely rare cases, skin irritation may occur – discontinue use if this happens.

Side effects can also happen if the product is misused if it, gets into the eyes, or is ingested.

Pregnancy can cause the skin to become more sensitive, so if you wish to use whilst pregnant, it is recommended that you perform a patch test on a small area of skin 48 hours before using. If there are any signs of irritation at all, do not use it.

If at any point skin irritation does occur, discontinue use. If the symptoms get worse or do not disappear after a couple of days, contact your GP for advice.

When shouldn't I use Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion?

Whilst Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion is gentle enough to use several times per day for extended periods of time, some caution should be exercised in using it.

Do not use Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion if you are allergic to any of the ingredients listed in the patient information leaflet.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, there should be no adverse effects, but due to increased skin sensitivity during this period, it is advisable to do a patch test 48 hours before using.

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Do not use on broken skin.

Avoid contact with the eyes and flush out with water if contact occurs.
