Advantages: Makes skin feel soft and smooth
Disadvantages: Haven't really seen the desired effect!

...also stocks Decleor products! (Yep, they really are selling everything these days..) It costs around £25 and comes in a 150ml tube. The directions on the tube are to use daily to the affected parts of the body. Basically you are meant to rub it in to your 'problem areas' and it will firm your stretch marks. I have been using this for a couple of months. Once you apply it to your skin and it absorbs, your skin does feel instantly firmer, but it isn't a lasting effect, it doesn't stay feeling firm, the firm sensation wears off quite quickly.

The tube inside is long and almost rectangular shape in a see-through pale greeny-blue shade with a darker lid. The mask inside smells of slightly citrusy glue - this smells better than it sounds! HOW TO USE The instructions for use are as follows - Thoroughly cleanse your skin first - Gently apply a thin layer to you skin, making sure to avoid the eyes. As it dries, you should feel a tingling sensation, but that's nothing to worry about. It simply is telling you the mask is working. - Leave... Read review
