Today we review Mustela Stretch Marks Prevention Cream which claims to aid expecting mothers in preventing unwanted stretch marks. This cream is specifically formulated to ensure skin elasticity and thereby reduce the formation of stretch marks which usually comes with pregnancy. The skin is relieved of any feelings of tightness because of exposure to the main stretch mark prevention ingredient, Galactoarabinan. Galactoarabinan is a proven preventative source of stretch marks and is naturally derived from the Larch tree.

Mustela Stretch Marks Prevention Cream Review-Conclusion
We like that this product is eco-friendly and safe to use for both mother and baby. We also like that this product has natural ingredients and is hypoallergenic. We feel that this product may be a bit pricey seeing that free shipping is not included with just this one item on the manufacturer’s website. We also feel that you do not get fully reimbursed if you decide to return this product seeing as you are responsible for the shipping costs. We could not find any information that tells us if this product leaves the skin oily and there is also not a definite dosage given to ensure maximum effectiveness of this product.
