Revitol is a health and beauty company that aims to distribute the "best natural products worldwide," according to its website. The brand offers a variety of all-natural products, including a cream intended to reduce and prevent stretch marks caused by pregnancy.
Purpose
According to the Mayo Clinic, stretch marks appear due to a stretching of the skin combined with the effects of cortisone, a hormone that may reduce the skin's elasticity. The marks are essentially scars and, once formed, are difficult to erase, says Revitol. Accordingly, its stretch mark cream is specifically designed to prevent the condition from occurring in the first place.
Ingredients
Revitol Stretch Mark Cream contains 100 percent natural ingredients, including squalene oil, vitamin E, vitamin A and aloe vera. According to the product information, these ingredients help prevent stretch marks by increasing the skin's elasticity and the development of new skin cells. The ingredients also work to help fade the appearance of existing stretch marks.
Treatment
Stretch marks tend to appear during the later stages of pregnancy. To prevent their development, Revitol recommends beginning the treatment before conception. Users should apply a generous layer of cream to the abdomen, breasts and other stretch mark-prone areas at least twice a day.
Availability
As of 2010, Revitol Stretch Mark Cream was available from the company website and other retailers.
