Our Stretch Mark Treatments
Pregnancy, changes in weight, teenage growth spurts — your skin evolves as life moves forward. These key moments can sometimes leave behind fine lines: stretch marks. With NUXE, stretch mark care becomes a divine sensory experience, where effectiveness and indulgence go hand in hand. Whether you prefer oils or creams, discover exquisite textures that enhance your skin day after day.
What are the main causes of stretch marks and how can you prevent them?
When skin undergoes rapid changes, it loses elasticity, which can lead to the appearance of stretch marks. By understanding what triggers them, you can take the right steps to support your skin every day.
The appearance of stretch marks
Stretch marks are fine streaks that emerge when the skin can’t stretch fast enough to keep up with rapid change. This often occurs during physical or hormonal shifts, such as pregnancy, puberty, or weight fluctuations. When the skin stretches or contracts suddenly, the collagen and elastin fibres can become weakened.
These subtle scars can occur from weight gain or loss, and affect both women and men. During pregnancy, they commonly develop around the bump, breasts, and thighs. In adolescence, they tend to appear on the hips, lower back, or buttocks.
Best practices for supple, resilient skin
The secret to skin that stays smooth and elastic? Daily care. Hydration is key to helping skin stay soft and more adaptable. If your skin is dry or very dry, reach for body care products enriched with natural plant oils to deeply nourish and protect. NUXE offers targeted products to meet your skin’s unique needs. And why not turn your skincare moment into a mini massage? It’s a soothing way to encourage skin renewal.
What are the most effective products to reduce the appearance of stretch marks?
While prevention is the best approach, once stretch marks appear, they can't be completely erased. However, early action can significantly improve their visibility.
Cosmetic care: effective plant-based oils
Stretch marks often start out reddish or purplish — this is the phase when skincare can help reduce their appearance. White or pale stretch marks are usually older and more difficult to fade.
NUXE stretch mark products combine visible results with a moment of self-care. A true hero for nourishing and repairing the skin? The iconic Huile Prodigieuse®. This legendary blend of seven 100% plant-based oils hydrates deeply, supports the skin barrier, and softens the appearance of stretch marks — visibly reducing their colour by 30%**. It’s an exceptional ally for both prevention and natural correction, leaving behind a sun-kissed scent and a satiny glow. Prefer a lighter floral note? Huile Prodigieuse® Florale offers the same skin-loving properties with a fresh twist — no need to change your routine.
Are natural-origin products effective in preventing or treating stretch marks?
Yes, absolutely. NUXE brings the best of nature into each formula, offering solutions you can use to prevent or reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
Botanical oils: essential allies
For over 30 years, NUXE has championed the benefits of 100% plant-derived oils. In Huile Prodigieuse®, you'll find seven precious oils: Tsubaki, Argan, Macadamia, Borage, Camellia, Hazelnut, and Sweet Almond. Each bottle contains 25% Omegas 3, 6, and 9 — essential nutrients known for their ability to nourish and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier. 97% of users report visible skin repair. Apply the oil using circular motions all over the body, paying extra attention to areas prone to stretch marks like the bust, hips, and buttocks — as well as dry zones like elbows and knees.
Another excellent choice is the Toning-Firming Cream, designed to help skin adapt to changes in shape. Enriched with a boosted* concentration of green tea extract and fortified with rye extract, this cream tones and firms. Its cooling texture and uplifting fragrance enhance your morning beauty routine. Just a small amount – about six dabs – is enough to treat the whole body. Apply in upward strokes on legs, sweeping from wrists to shoulders on the arms. For the stomach, try a circular massage in a clockwise motion to support digestion.
With NUXE, caring for stretch marks becomes a moment of wellbeing. Each application soothes the skin, enhances its elasticity, and wraps it in subtle fragrance. Whether you're preventing or visibly softening stretch marks, NUXE formulas bring together the best of natural oils and high-performance ingredients.
