Use the tabs below to find out more about stretch marks and how real mums felt after trying JOHNSON'S® Skin Perfecting Oil.
† Clinical study, France (2006); 19 subjects, twice daily application.
We believe every woman has the right to feel confident in their skin and embrace their post-pregnancy body. We developed NEW JOHNSON'S® Skin Perfecting Oil to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks, so you can regain that confidence and say 'hello me' to the skin you love. We asked four new mums, just like you, to take our four-week trial. Watch the video diaries below to hear their stories:
Title: What happened when real mums tried JOHNSON'S® Skin Perfecting Oil?
Sam: Hi, I'm Sam and courtesy of my two young children I have got the most horrendous stretch marks all over my stomach.
Title: week one
Sam: If this Skin Perfecting Oil works, fantastic, absolutely brilliant. The first thing I noticed after I'd used it for the first time was how soft my hands were from using it, so if it's doing the same to my stomach, excellent.
Title: week two
Sam: Have I noticed a difference? Yes I have. Perhaps not in the look of my stretch marks, but certainly in the way my skin feels, it's definitely softer and more moisturised.
Title: week three
Sam: Australia holiday is now booked for 6 months time. If I can get onto that beach in Brisbane with a bikini on I'll be a different woman to what I was a year ago.
Title: week four
Sam: I am both happy and surprised to be telling you that it's done exactly what it says it's going to do. It says on the back it's clinically proven to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks and it's done exactly that, it's reduced the appearance of the stretch marks on my stomach where I've been using it.
Title: the results
Sam: The dermatologist used a skin analysis machine. She seemed surprised with the elasticity results, certainly on me, because they'd increased so much. There has been an instance where I've felt more 'me'; um, I was in the gym changing rooms and I was stood having a conversation with my friend wearing just my bra and knickers, and five weeks ago you wouldn't have caught me doing that, I would have had a towel wrapped around myself. My skin feels softer and moisturised, and it's the look of them more than anything else – the stretch marks have faded so much, it's unbelievable really.

Title: What happened when real mums tried JOHNSON'S® Skin Perfecting Oil?
Claire: Are you going to say hello to the camera? (she tickles her baby under the chin)
Title: week one
Claire: Hi I'm Claire, I'm 32, I have two beautiful boys – Henry who's two and George who's four months now. When I look at my stretch marks I know that that's where they came from it makes me feel very proud. Equally, I feel very disconnected with my appearance and my body.
Title: week two
Claire: I've noticed that my skin has become really soft, and it seems to have a bit of life in it.
Title: week three
Claire: They haven't gone. Umm, they're less purple and angry looking. My mother-in-law works for a dermatologist and when I was talking to her about stretch marks, she said there's never any way that you will completely get rid of them. (Talking to her baby) They're from you (kisses her baby) and your brother, and I wouldn't change that for the world.
Title: the results
Subtitle: Claire's results based on 3 week trial
Claire: The dermatologist said that there was some improvements. The most notable was in my elasticity – my skin had become a lot plumper. What I liked about it was that it wasn't overly oily or greasy, so that was one thing that really struck me. The other one was some of the products are very heavily scented, whereas this one's really light and it's quite fresh. I will continue to use this product most definitely. I've seen some start of improvement and I'd like to see if it goes any further.

Title: What happened when real mums tried JOHNSON'S® Skin Perfecting Oil?
Angelica: Can you say hello darling? (Laughs) Hello?
Baby: (Hiccups)
Title: week one
Angelica: Hi my name is Angelica Donner, 3 months ago we became the parents of Adriana. I started using Johnson and Johnson stretch mark oil, I can show you my stretch marks, so I'm not very proud of them, I can show you some, I don't know if…yeah.
Title: week two
Angelica: I have noticed some changes in the stretch marks. I don't think they have changed completely yet, but I think they are looking less dark.
Title: week three
Angelica: I remember I asked my husband and I wanted him to be honest with me, not to just say what I wanted to hear. He was very honest and he said 'I don't think your skin is changing' and only until this week, week three, he has noticed some changes.
Title: week four
Angelica: I can say that by now, by the fourth week, I definitely, definitely can see changes in my skin.
Title: the results
Angelica: I could see the results but I wasn't sure if it was just me imagining, and it was good to see that it was real, and I think the dermatologist and I were really surprised. She said that my skin really improved. It feels more soft, the stretch marks have really changed, like, I know my body and I can see the changes. I think the product really helped me with my stretch marks.

Title: What happened when real mums tried JOHNSON'S® Skin Perfecting Oil?
Hayley: Jack just wanted to say hello to everyone, so hello (she moves her baby's arms as if he's waving)
Title: week one
Hayley: I noticed my skin felt a lot softer and not so marbley and shopping bag like. Obviously the cream must be doing something.
Title: week two
Hayley: They're still there, which obviously gets me down a little bit because I have to look at them. I have noticed a difference that they've faded. They've not gone completely which obviously all girls would love.
Title: week three
Hayley: The cream itself, obviously the spray itself I found really good, the spray pump. And then I'd just rub, rub, you know, circular motions as it says on the bottle (she makes circular rubbing motions with her hands), and it's really, really nice.
Title: week four
Hayley: You know, the bottle does say visible results in four weeks. I have seen the results with the softness of my skin. They're not gone, but they're fading.
Title: the results
Hayley: What I liked about the product is that it's got the spray bottle which makes it really like accessible, easy to use. It smelt nice, it was pleasant, it didn't feel heavy on my skin. The dermatologist was really happy with the results, I could see the difference myself. More and more as I used it, I could see, you know, a change to my skin that kind of gave me the confidence to continue using it.

Courtesy of my two young children I have the most horrendous stretch marks all over my stomach, and I've lost the confidence to wear a bikini on holiday. If I can get on that beach in Brisbane with a bikini on, I'd be a different woman to what I was a year ago.
Aged 33
Mum of Dylan (2) and Lucas (8 months)

When I look at my stretch marks I know that it's where my boys came from and I do feel very proud. Equally I feel very disconnected with my appearance and my body.
Aged 32
Mum of Henry (2) and George (4 months)
Claire has stretch marks on her stomach, which started to appear during her first pregnancy, but became more severe with her second. Claire's husband is very supportive, but she still feels frumpy and unattractive.

My life at the moment is a little bit crazy so I'm very happy to be trying out Johnson's Skin Perfecting Oil as it gives me a moment when I can just think about myself.
Aged 32
Mum of Adriana (3 months)
Angelica has stretch marks on her tummy and dislikes them so much that she had considered laser treatment in an attempt to remove them. Her husband is supportive so she doesn't mind him seeing her stretch marks, but she wishes they weren't so prominent.

Everyone says I should see my stretch marks as 'medals' but I don't… I don't even want to look at them.
Mum of Jack
Hayley suffers from stretch marks as a result of her pregnancy with Jack. She was induced two weeks early because she was measuring 43 weeks.
