Stretch mark creams can fade the marks but its tearing of connective tissue that creates them. Since the elasticity of your skin is set by heredity, creams will not prevent the tearing and external applications won't get rid of the damaged skin.
Check with the doctor before using anything that might penetrate the skin and have contact with the blood stream, especially if you are pregnant.
