How can you be sure that you've found the best stretch mark remover? It's easy: the best products use a formula that's unlike any other product available, and they don't need to be prescribed by a doctor either.

Most of these products use only the most natural ingredients, some of which may be found in your own backyard. A good cream may include an active liquid secreted from snails, the same they use to repair their own skin, while others may use oils extracted from plants, flowers, seeds, etc. The extraction of any of these ingredients should be a benign process, which means no living organism is harmed during the gathering of these ingredients.

The land snail mucin, for example, is an intricate mixture containing naturally active molecules: glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, copper peptides, antimicrobial peptides, protein enzymes and trace elements. It is a most original and organic compound. This tiny creature has created a balanced solution to shield and repair its own collagen, elastin, and the water holding molecules of healthy skin.

Natural Ingredients Offer Longterm Solutions

Unlike common skin creams there are products that penetrate all the layers of the skin, both moisturizing and healing the skin cells. When you regularly apply these products to your skin you will not only see their reduction but they will start fading and may completely disappear.

These products get rid of stretch marks by destroying damaged collagen synthesized to reconnect broken skin fibers and by replenishing and synthesizing new collagen, the skin's elastin, and water holding molecules (Glycosaminoglycans). The best thing about them is that they will work on old, new, red, purple, and white stretch marks. Many chemical based products stop working if you discontinue the use, but natural ingredients are capable of creating an optimal solution that will heal the skin permanently. This is due to the fact that natural ingredients trigger the body's natural regenerative process while chemical based products simply offer a superficial fix.

Glycosaminoglycans are sugar molecules that collaborate in the control of physiological mechanisms through their interactions with a wide variety of proteins and proteins linked to glycans. They also play a crucial role in cell multiplication, migration and adhesion. The mucin not only contains these molecules but, what is really important, it promotes the synthesis of fibroblasts in the basal or lower-most layer of skin and glycosaminoglycans in the skin matrix.

A truly biological product treats stretch marks and also restores your skin's balance. A smooth and younger skin look can be achieved by balancing all the natural structural elements in the skin.

The best biological stretch mark removers on the market contain ingredients that essentially mimic the skins makeup and stimulate an orchestrated and balanced repair. They also prevent stretch marks by strengthening the skin matrix while your body responds to it replenishing the water holding molecules and structures that confer skin the necessary resilience and stretching ability it needs when it is enduring over-stretching during pregnancy.
