How long did it take before your stretch marks turned white/grey?
I know every woman is different, but I was just curious for those of you who unfortunately got them due to pregnancy, How long did it take before they faded to white or grey? With or without using creams and such. If you used any remedies to help fade them, what did you do or use?
I have some stretch marks, even though they have faded a lot in the past 5 months since my beautiful sons birth, they still look awful.

Use extra virgin olive oil to help speed it up! It’s starting to work for me about after two weeks

Our natural treatment for stretch marks will present to you a wide range of techniques that you can use to make those irritating stretch marks vanish forever.
Cocoa Butter – Cocoa butter is one of the best methods of getting rid of stretch marks. Cocoa butter can be found in many moisturizing lotions and creams.
However, the best way is to buy a stick of cocoa butter and apply it liberally and regularly over your stretch marks until they disappear.
Vitamins and minerals – The importance of vitamin E as a natural treatment for stretch marks cannot be overstated. The best way is to make a mixture of vitamin E extract, Aloe Vera and cocoa butter and gently apply the mixture over the affected area. Another effective vitamin for fighting stretch marks is vitamin A.
Vitamin A is a key ingredient in many stretch mark removal creams and can also be used a natural treatment for stretch marks. Vitamin K is another powerhouse that can be used to treat stretch marks. Many creams contain vitamin K and these should be applied on the affected area at least twice a day.
In addition you should consume foods that are rich in vitamin K such as green vegetables, tomatoes and dairy products. Zinc is an important mineral that can help to reduce the occurrence of stretch marks. You should consume foods that are rich in zinc such as seeds and nuts especially during times of pregnancy.
Aromatherapy – There are also many aromatherapy oils that are also very effective in treating stretch marks.
Oils containing extracts of lavender have been used for generations to treat stretch marks. Other aromatherapy oils that are also used include chamomile, jojoba, sweet almond and avocado.
Natural apricot scrub – Apricots have therapeutic properties that make them an ideal natural treatment for stretch marks. You can use an apricot-based cream or simply rub an apricot on the affected area of your skin for fast results.

Only thing that faded my old white stretch marks is a microdermabrasion cream from Green Skin Organics. Crystals in this cream scrub off scarred tissue and heal with natural extracts, you can actually see the progress after every treatment. Before this I tried celtrixa, trilastin, bio-oil and mederma with NO RESULTS at all.
