I wish I was as lucky as you!
Puxlut is correct, the bio oil is what they encourage you to use to prevent the stretch marks as it puts moisture in the skin so it has more elasticity to stretch. Vitamin E is used in the reduction of alot of scars and yes, it comes as an actual cream. You will find it either with the Vitamins or with the skin moisturizes and stuff like that.
Shea Butter is another product that helps in reducing the look of stretch marks. It's found either in a cream or oil and pretty widely available.
Avon used to carry a product that was marketed as a Stretch Mark Reducer and it was high in Vitamin E and Shea. It was probably the only product I noticed any sort of reduction in, but sadly they seemed to have discontinued the line.
None of these will completely eliminate stretch marks. It's only reducing the appearance of them. If you have the kind that are purple or dark colored, the best you can hope for is for them to turn white or pinkish color and lighten.
