Many women wish for a reduction in stretch mark appearance. Many women get stretch marks during pregnancy and would like to reduce them as quickly as possible.
Here we review Bella Joi Beauty Stretch Mark Cream, marketed for during and after pregnancy.
The manufacturer claims that this proprietary blend was created by a Naturopath Doctor and helps to prevent the likes of stretch marks, either pre-existing or stretch marks that appear during their pregnancy and any stretching of the skin that may occur through the period of this time.
Bella Joi Beauty Stretch Mark Cream is said to be fragrance-free, that goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly and is non-stick and non-greasy. Bella Joi offers three varieties of flavors Shea, Cocoa and Mango and is said to be packed with antioxidants and oils.
Bella Joi offers a Stretch Mark Cream and a Repair Gel in their pregnancy stretch mark reduction range.

Dosage
Bella Joi Stretch Mark Cream offers directions on how to use the cream but no dosage/amount you should use on the affected areas.
They suggest to apply the cream directly to the abdominals, glutes, thighs, arms, and hips. They recommend to massage the cream into your skin using a circular motion until it’s absorbed or to use a fan brush to evenly lay the cream on.
We found the directions to be quite clear and concise, however, a proposed suggestion on how much to use would be useful.
Price
Amazon currently offers a $10 and under standard offer for free shipping but in saying that, this product is currently out of stock with no guarantee of when this product will be back on the Amazon market.
You can, however, purchase bulk offers through their own website but only by emailing them first via the email they provide. They do not provide any costs on how much their bulk offers are and so you have to email them to find this out.
We have discovered that other brands offer great deals on bulk offers which are better in the long run for the reduction in costs due to the amount you will need to use during this time.
Guarantee
As far as we can tell, Bella Joi Stretch Mark Cream offers no guarantee as per their website or on Amazon. Saying that due to the product not being in stock on Amazon, then we have no way of telling whether or not they offer a money back guarantee.
What we did find for other brands of the same nature is that they offer clear and comprehensive information on their websites and that with some companies ordering the products was straightforward and uncomplicated.
Bella Joi Beauty Stretch Mark Cream Review – Conclusion
As far as we can tell, after careful review, we are not sure this product is cGMP certified. We have found other brands that are certified and that are also third-party tested.
There are an abundance of positive and negative reviews for this product. Saying that it seems to be quite equally balanced and some consumers express that they do not feel that they are getting their money’s worth for this product. We can only make an assumption on how much the product costs as we have no way to tell just how much the product actually is.
Unfortunately, the concerns we have are that we are not sure when the product will be back on the Amazon market and have no way of telling you just how much the product is. We also feel that from the compared reviews on Amazon that we are not 100% sure just how well the product works. Some say it has worked really well for them and others find that it doesn’t work at all. In that case, we would say conclusively, it is a trial and error product and that you will have to see if it works well for you.
