Belli Elasticity Belly Oil

Used with 2 pregnancies and am so glad I did. I always used it after a shower and later in pregnancy also before bed. I now give this oil as a gift to all my pregnant friends; no stretch marks for them either (and one had an almost 10lb baby)! You do need to wait a few minutes to get dressed to avoid oil on clothes, but what a small price to pay for no or fewer stretchmarks.

This is a very nice skin product. Many of the ingredients are conducive to skin conditioning and repair. Belli contains several kinds of oils: Vitamin E, Almond oil, Grape Seed oil, and Safflower Seed oil. It also contains Lavender, Cocoa Seed Butter and Collagen Hydrolysates.

The product has a very pleasing scent, with the obvious presence of lavender. It is not overpowering but pleasant and long lasting.
Belli does adhere to teratology screening for their products, including this one, so pregnant women can feel assured that the ingredients are safe in general. There are also no man-made dyes in the product.

Like any other skin product, I am not sure the product will do too much to get rid of existing stretch marks, however the Vitamin E and Collagen Hydrolysates are known to help skin elasticity and firmness. So the product probably will help to minimize new stretch marks some and will contribute to overall skin conditioning.

The product is pricey, but the ingredients are all natural and/or high quality. Those seeking to minimize the effects of stretch marks might be able to get the same benefit by applying Vitamin E oil. Belli does have a wonderful scent that plain Vitamin E does not.

All in all a nice product, albeit a bit expensive.

I love this oil. It smells great and has seriously improved the softness and suppleness of my skin in the past 2 weeks. It is a great product and worth every penny! However, I hate the bottle this product comes in. The spray bottle doesn't spray the oil onto your skin; it shoots a strong stream of oil which bounces off your skin and splatters everywhere. I have to spray the product into my closed fist and then apply the product to my skin. The entire bottle gets coated with oil when you're applying it this way and the bottle becomes very slippery. I've dropped the bottle more than once in the sink due to this problem. Luckily, the glass didn't break. It's very messy and not the ideal application. Maybe I got a defective bottle sprayer? I will definitely try this product again but will buy from a local store so I can return it if I have this problem again.
