Pure Vitamin E lotion works really well. When I was a teenager, I had a very bad scar on my chest that was very red. My mom heard about Vitamin E lotion so I started putting it on there. The redness went away (can't remember how long, but definitely not "overnight"). I'm not sure if you can do anything about the marks themselves, but this will definitely make them less noticeable. For the record: get the pure Vitamin E lotion. You don't have to do alot. I have heard that the Vitamin E enhanced cream lotions don't do nearly as well, and actually cause more redness. The pure lotion (can get it at GNC or the like) is fairly expensive for the size of the bottle, but "a little dab will do ya".



On the Cocoa Butter front: As a father to 2 young kids, I can tell you that the Cocoa Butter is used predominantly in pregnant women to make the skin more supple to prevent stretch marks. I don't know of any true way to "get rid of them".



If the marks you are refering to are the ones that men get from weightlifting, the Cocoa Butter might be helpful in the future if you are still hitting the weights hard.



Of course, your mileage may vary. A google of stretch marks and pregnancy should bring you to some pretty good stuff.
