A blend of botanical extracts improves the dermal structure of stretch marks on ex vivo and in vivo skin

Striae distensae, or stretch marks, is a common condition associated with continuous and progressive stretching of the skin, such as with rapid weight gain, puberty, or pregnancy. Typically, these lesions involve the abdomen, breasts, or hips. Striae distensae initially appear as raised pink or purple linear streaks that run perpendicular to the direction of skin tension. Over time, these streaks mature into hypopigmented, depressed, and finely wrinkled scar-like bands. Although stretch marks are not physically dangerous, their appearance is often distressful to individuals.
