Stretch Mark Remover Oil- REVIEW and belly pics.

As you probably know by now (or at least can glean from context), I have kids. 3 of them. I grew them in my belly and because of that, I have these things known as stretch marks.
Mine aren't the conventional "tiger stripe" type stretch marks, but if I stretch my saggy mommy-belly skin, I have silver striped between the oddly distributed fat cells.
I don't love the way it looks. I think most people don't love the look. I haven't really tried much to change it, but when I was offered a free bottle in exchange for an honest review, I had to give it a shot.
I was EXPECTING that it would be kind of like rubbing any oil in, no real difference but it feels like I'm loving my body for all its hard work... or that I'd have to remind myself that essential oils aren't magic. I didn't even take a true "before" picture because I thought it would take a while to see results and I didn't really want to take a picture of my belly skin.
What HAPPENED was that 10 minutes after I applied it the first time, I had to do a double take. It made a difference. The lumpy fat cells were a little more even, there weren't any gaping pores (hair follicle holes? I don't know what they were), and the whole thing was a little more... better looking. Naturally I thought it was a result of irritating, inflaming ingredients puffing up my cells to make it look smoother (like a cellulite cream would do). So I marveled at it, showered, and was surprised when it maintained the new, smoother appearance.
It's not magic. It's oil.
That didn't stop me from feeling like I just waved a magic wand over myself. I used it again the next day, and the results were MUCH more subtle, but there were results again.
The third time I used it was about a week later, and I finally took a before and after shot.
These were taken about 1-3 minutes apart, same room, same lights, I tried to get the same angle and everything but I didn't use anything but my phone. Anyway you can see the difference for yourself.
Is it magic? No. Does it work on angry red tiger stripes? I don't have those, so I can't say for sure.

Would it make a thoughtful gift for someone expecting a baby and worried about stretch marks, or someone who has stretch marks looking for something to try that isn't "sucks, bro"? Yes.
It comes in a faux velvet/faux plush bag with a silver logo and a silver ribbon, and the glass bottle is wrapped in bubble wrap and shrink wrap. The bottle comes with a dropper cap and it only takes 6-10 drops for my whole belly.
I'll come back and do an update (make sure you subscribe and comment to rush the process along) after a few other people give it a try, so we can see some variety in skin types and stretch mark types. I was really impressed with this oil.
