Gly Derm Stretch Mark Cream Launched

What is the best way to treat stretch marks, the natural result of your skin adjusting to your growing belly?  You're not totally powerless against pregnancy stretch marks. Not all stretch marks will disappear after pregnancy,  but most will fade.

Stretch marks they may also occur during sudden weight gain or loss, or even during adolescence due to rapid growth and hormonal changes associated with puberty. Genetics also play a key role in a person’s susceptibility to getting stretch marks.

A matrix of collagen and elastin supports the dermis (the deeper layer of the skin) and epidermis (the skin’s outer layer), but gaps may form when the skin is stretched excessively, and it is these gaps of broken tissue that cause us to have those discolored streaks or striae that appear on the surface of our skin in pinkish, reddish-blue, or translucent white hues.

A good news for concerned and affected people, there are effective ways to treat stretch marks. Gly Derm Stretch Mark Cream was launched in a French inspired event and fashion show held at the Ayala Museum, Makati City last October 3, 2013. 

It was a wonderful night featuring moms in a fashion show proud to be stretch-mark free flawless body walked the runway featuring the Posh Swimwear designs of Twinkle Ferraren and Flawless Glyderm Ambassadors.

Gly Derm Stretch Mark Cream from France – home of the best beauty products in the world is now available in the Philippines and being marketed by A. Menarini, an Italian pharmaceutical company. Gly Derm is specially formulated to help rebuild collagen and regain elasticity to reduce the size and lessen the appearance of stretch marks. What sets it apart is its Tri-Derm Actives. Gly Derm offers a superior, clinically-proven solution that will neither require laser procedures, nor break the bank.

Gly Derm Stretch Mark Cream’s non-greasy formula is also easy to use. Simply massage it into the affected areas of your skin twice a day. Initial results may be seen in as early as five weeks of continued use. Gly Derm Stretch Mark Cream’s Tri-Derm Actives penetrate the gaps of broken tissue and improves the appearance of stretch marks, so that you can soon walk around with confidence just like you did before. This isn’t merely based on clinical proof but also it is also trusted by everyday women who have tried it!

Celebrity actress/model/producer G Töngi, the mother of Sakura and Kenobi says, “I’ve started using Gly Derm and I’m looking forward to my skin’s continuous improvement”. 

Also actress and model Cheska Garcia-Kramer admits and said “I’ve gone through three pregnancies, and I have worried about stretch marks,”  Her children with husband Doug Kramer are Kendra (4 years old), Scarlett (1 year, 11 months), and Gavin (8 months) and she has been enjoying life as a wife and mom. 

“Gly Derm helped me get rid of those worries so I could focus on what matters most—being the best mom to my kids!”
