What's the best product to prevent stretch marks?
The title says it all: In your experience, what's the best product to prevent stretch marks?
Currently expecting and, while stretch marks don't typically pop up on me in general, I definitely want to prevent them as much as possible. I know there's a huge genetic factor & they aren't common in my family, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
What products do you recommend? amazon links are appreciated!

Raw Cocoa butter and vitamin e has been my go to for years. This has worked to make them disappear and as a way to prevent stretch marks all together. But you have to use it every day.

What PHD said and I'd also like to add: massage. Massage done by hand, not those fancy devices.
Besides the tons of benefits massage gives: cellulite reduction, better blood flow, works against water retention, helps muscle recovery, etc. It also helps with preventing stretch marks because it does work on the skin elasticity.
My best friend had been doing massage once a week, for 8 years and when she was pregnant she didn't get a single stretch mark. Nor too much backpain, only in the very last month she got trough trouble with water retention and other stuff, but until then, massage was a godsend. And helped with post partum recovery.
So yeah. Massage done by a hand will never beat those fancy devices. And it's cheaper than those.
PS: I actually need to get myself some. It's sooooooo gooood!
