Worked perfectly preventing pregnancy stretch marks for me - worth every penny.

It works - simple.
Biggest con is the price. The spray nozzle is a bit erratic too, so be careful where you spray - I had to redecorate a room where it spritzed onto a wall and wrecked the paint work!! Slightly greasy texture too (but it is oil, so that's to be expected)
I got dreadful stretch marks as a teenager, so was resigned to the fact I would almost certainly get them during pregnancy too - it was just a case of damage control. I used bio oil for the first couple of months of pregnancy, but frankly couldn't stand the smell. I changed to silderm (reluctantly, because of the price) and quite honestly it was the best decision I made. I used it morning & night for my entire pregnancy and I didn't get one single stretch mark anywhere (with weight gain of 3.5 stone). Pleasant enough lavender scent too.

Excellent product, would definitely recommend it, lasts for a long time and smells gorgeous.

It smells fantastic, I used it morning and night, I'm sure it helped me relax at night due to the aromatic lavender and other oils. Being an oil it was nice to smooth over my bump and I would just use 10 little squirts into my hand, which was sufficient you don't need to smother yourself with it. I also bought the Silderm cream for stretch marks I already had on my thighs and hips and these have faded I'm sure (although they were very old to start with). Its not sticky and does rub in quickly into the skin.
The only thing is the price, but for a quality product I thought it was worth it.
An excellent product, yes its pricey, I have no stretch marks and I'm now 35 weeks pregnant, I also have gestational diabetes so I rapidly expanded and felt my skin tightening and still no stretch marks. I am prone to stretch marks as I already have them on my hips, thighs and bust from my teens, which I used the Silderm cream on (again this smells lovely).
