Transdermals and Oil

[TexasTitan]

Basically, Im using some PP transdermals and things are going well, almost too well because Im developing stretch marks all over my legs. Thats ok I guess, it comes with the territory :worried: but I was wondering if I can use something like Bio Oil or some kind of lotion after I put on the transdermal or if thats a bad idea. Any conflict there?

How long have you been using the products now? Did you ever have issues with stretchmarks in that region prior?

I would actually apply beforehand if possible, and allow it to dry in fully before applying our transdermal. Look into RPN's "Flawless" product as well to help mitigate stretch mark issues.

Id say for about a month or so. I did have some stretchmarks around my chest/shoulder which is fine but on my legs is where theyve really been popping up. I dont think the transdermal caused it at all, its just the gains Ive gotten.

Ill try that out, I just dont want it to affect the absorption or possible effects of combining them.

Stretch marks can develop indirectly due to sudden tissue growth (muscle or otherwise), as well as hormonal changes (glucocorticoid involvement - mainly cortisol); which affects the maintenance ability of fibroblasts to produce their important components of collagen and elastin fibers. Any of these factors can/will effect the dermal layer matrix and the skin's ability to accomodate adequately.

Stretch marks are more common in some individuals in general (genetic.) The dermal skin matrix is more complicated than most people think. Believe it or not, caffeine intake can vastly affect this layer of skin and can increase incidence of stretch mark formation.
