Mustela Stretch Mark Prevention Cream Review – The Bottom Line
There are a few things to like about Mustela Stretch Mark Prevention Cream. It comes with very clear instructions on how to use the product. The manufacturer also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. However, there are a few things that we do not like about the product. It lacks essential ingredients which aid in the rejuvenation of stretch marks. Furthermore, it lacks medical grade silicon for internal tissue repair. Another concern we have is that the manufacturer does not offer any discounts or bulk packages. Also, this may become and expensive product when thinking long-term use. Lastly, the manufacturer’s guarantee is not clear. Customers will not know if they can return open and used products. Lack of key ingredients and a weak guarantee make it easier to look for an alternative product. Due to these reasons, we are unable to recommend.
