Background Striae distensae, or stretch marks, are a common and distressing condition affecting females two-and-a-half times more frequently than males. Despite the numerous products available for stretch mark prevention and treatment, there have been few studies that consider consumer product preference. Objective The aim of this study was to determine which products were preferred by consumers for the prevention and treatment of stretch marks based on product vehicle and product ingredients. Methods In January 2020, a search was conducted on internet retailer Amazon for products related to stretch marks. The top products were identified as those with 100 reviews or greater and a rating of 4 or higher. The products were classified as either stretch mark–specific or non stretch mark–specific. Price, rating, type of vehicle, and specific ingredients of both product groups were compared. Vehicle-type and ingredients in both product groups were compared with two-tailed two-sample proportion tests to determine if certain vehicles or ingredients were more likely to be found in stretch mark–specific products. P<.05 indicated statistical significance. Results Out of over 10,000 products, 184 were selected as the top products according to the review and rating criteria of which 117 (63.6%) were stretch mark–specific and 67 (36.4%) were non stretch mark–specific. Oil was the most common vehicle (131/184, 71.2%) while vitamin E was the most common ingredient (58/184, 31.5%). Oil, as a vehicle, was more likely to be found in stretch mark–specific products than in non stretch mark–specific products (P=.001). Olive oil (P=.02) and cocoa butter (P=.08), Centella asiatica (P=.01), and shea butter (P=.003) were the ingredients more likely to be found in stretch mark–specific products than in non stretch mark–specific products. Conclusions This study demonstrated that there are many products available for the prevention and treatment of stretch marks and identified specific ingredients in the products preferred by customers. There are few studies investigating the effectiveness of the major ingredients in the stretch mark products that are preferred by consumers. Future studies can focus on the effectiveness of the ingredients found in the products that are preferred by consumers.

Stretch marks (striae distensae) are linear areas of cutaneous atrophy that appear in regions of greatest stretch of the skin. Their formation is a complex multifactorial process, its etiopathogenesis has not been fully understood yet. Aesthetic correction of stretch marks is an urgent problem of modern dermatocosmetology due to their widespread prevalence and pronounced negative impact on the patient’s quality of life. The aim of this paper was to provide a review of the literature on current reported treatment options for stretch marks. The principles of the effect of various methods of treatment, their classification and data from clinical trials are considered.

Prevention And Therapy

In dieser Studie zur Qualitätssicherung in der Prophylaxe und Therapie des Dekubitus durch Auflagedruckmessungen bei Probanden auf sechs Weichlagerungs- und fünf Wechseldrucksystemen war die Zielsetzung, eine Ist-Analyse der am Klinikum eingesetzten Antidekubitushilfsmittel durchzuführen. Außerdem galt es herauszufinden, ob die angewandte Methode der pneumatischen Druckmessung mit Probanden auch im Versorgungsalltag verwendbar ist. Können verlässliche und valide Messdaten erwartet werden, wenn man bei betroffenen Patienten Messungen durchführt? Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen wurden bei 23/19 Probanden, auch in Seitenlage, durch das Platzieren von Messmatten zwischen Körper und unterschiedliche Antidekubitussysteme Messungen durchgeführt. Bei den Weichlagerungssystemen kann an allen Messorten eine signifikante Druckreduzierung (p < 0,05), am Os coccygis eine hochsignifikante Druckreduzierung (p < 0,01) nachgewiesen werden. Bei den Wechseldrucksystemen liegt der Mittelwert der maximalen Druckbelastung über 12 min bei unterschiedlicher Amplitude (75,47 mmHg–5 mmHg) und verschiedener Frequenz (1,5 min–10 min) zwischen 56,39 mmHg und 38,94 mmHg.
