Lanolin for Stretch Marks? (photo)

September 29, 2013
Asked By:maggie2013ba in Zurich, Switzerland

I had a breast augmentation almost 8 months ago. I went from 34A to 34DD and didn't have enough breast tissue to begin with. I know that stretch marks will always stay. However, I'm trying to look for methods to make them fade quicker. Now my question: is lanolin effective in fading stretch marks? Anf if yes, is it more effective than vitamin e? Any other tips you might be able to give me?
