 DO NOT BUY! SAVE MONEY! Jun 30, 2008
By C. Hayes
"Beauty Pro"
This product is all hype and ABSOLUTELY NO SUBSTANCE!
I bought this product thinking it would at least fade new stretch marks acquired through weight loss if it didn't affect old growth spurt stretch marks. I applied RELIGIOUSLY for 6 weeks...not even a hint of a fade. I am extremely disappointed. I will never buy this companies products again and I recommend to other women not to waste their time or money...you could be using another treatment that is more effective for 6 weeks instead of wasting your time with this peppermint moisturizer with a hefty price tag!

 Not what it so highly claims... Mar 23, 2008
By S. Bates
"snprv"
I have been deligently using the Stri-vectin SD, HD, and eye cream for over 3 months and unfortunately I do not see a difference in my fine lines (also used the serum that lasted about a month). I spoke with a rep on the phone before the purchase and they 100% gaurenteed it would work on the fine lines. They say to give it 6 weeks but they only allow a refund up to 4 weeks. I am a healthy organic eater and drink lots of water - I do not understand why they would claim something so adamently. Oh well - silly me.
So I'm wondering if it just my skin chemistry not agreeing with it. I really belived in the product due to their high claims of results. If anyone else can refer me to other creams, please do.

TOTAL HOAX Jul 24, 2009
By yael ashtari
i am disgusted to recently have learned that this company and its products are complete hoaxes! i purchased a tube of StriVectin-SD on recommendation of a GYN for my pregnancy stretch marks. Imagine how anxious i was for a product and at the advice of a Dr. no less, i was impatient to try it and forked over the 80EURO for 50 ml/1.7oz. (that size is not even available in the US). I became severely disheartened when i read reviews about the product here on amazon.com and at [...]. they were love/hate at best. and many accused the product and its company of fraud stating over-zealous claims that are being investigated by the FDA. between this, the exorbitant price and the late logic that there is no such thing as a cream that will clear stretch marks in a few weeks (especially with run of the mill ingredients) i returned it, thankfully in time to stringent French return policies.
upon my new quest to find another product i came across striadril. seeing the cognitive link, i put the product in wikipedia's search engine and read that BOTH products are made by the same company under different sub-names (Basic Research makes Strivectin-SD and Generix Labs makes Striadril) , both made by the same manufacturer at the same location (Salt Lake City, Utah) however the only difference is; "This company sells the product Striadril, which is billed as a generic version of the Strivectin-SD product at a fraction of the cost. Many customers are not aware that Striadril is the exact same product as Strivectin-SD, manufactured by the exact same company, just with a different package and price point to attract a lower-end consumer." !!!! How GROSS!
Striadril can sell for $[...] USD and StriVectin-SD $[...]!!!! (again not taking into account the price gouging in Europe!) it's worth noting that there is a prevailing myth circulating that StriVectin-SD used to be a prescription and is now "public". Complete and utter BS. What's more, the cream is not only a stretch mark eraser but a wrinkle remover!! a veritable all-in-one beauty cure-all!! Ha!
(** the reviews i read on amazon.com a few days back also cited that many of the 5-star reviews were by 1 time reviewers made on the same days, i.e. possible deliberate company contributions. i can no longer find that product listing with those reviews, there were well over 30 on that listing. i decided to post here instead)
when Americans are so lawsuit-happy, where's the uproar over this?? more regulation in the cosmetic industry is overdue.

 Everything they say, and then some! Apr 23, 2008
By Allegra Giorno
This product is highly personal. Based on reviews I've read here and elsewhere - for some it works, and for others it doesn't! If you are one of the "lucky ones" --it's amazing. In about 4 weeks time (or less) of diligent daily use, it has made a huge difference. Since I began using it, I receive constant compliments on my "great skin" - and no wrinkles. I am in my late 50's - and I'd put my skin up against a 40 year old's, any day of the week. My suggestion is perhaps to team up with a friend - split the cost and then each try it sequentially. It is a bit pricey, but totally worth it to me. I think it just depends on your type of skin.

not the real thing ? Apr 29, 2011
By getrealopinion
I have been buying this from various places at about $130 and was happy to find it for about half price. Wrong. I have been using this product for several years and was sadly disappointed with what I received. While I absolutely love the real Strivectin, what I received had a tube that looked the same, had all the same verbiage, but the contents were runny, had an "odd" smell, and were not in the box that normally comes with it.
Having said that, I still decided to try using it for a while and found it was really, really greasy.....almost like someone had altered the contents by adding mineral oil. Strivectin contains an analgesic to give a slight tingle on the skin. This also gives it a distinct smell. The product I received runs out of the tube when inverted. Normally Strivectin must be squeezed from the tube. I mention all this for new users who may not know the difference.
I will stick to getting this from my retail supplier!!
