Tested by mum Charlotte Clarke for the M&B Awards 2017:

Would you recommend this to other mums?

I will be shouting about this from the rooftops, it says results from four weeks on the packaging, but I could see a difference from the first use! So simple to use you don't even use your hands so no sticky hands after, quite a large tube as well so should last a while and you don't need to use very much.

How did this product make your life easier?

Putting creams on can be quite time consuming, putting the cream on them then waiting for it to dry before getting dressed, but this is so quick, turn it on quick roll around the area and done! It's looks quite oily but sinks into your skin surprisingly fast and smells lovely, much nicer than other stretch mark creams I've used.

Would you choose this product to win?

This is the best by far, for ease of use and results I cannot fault it. I was shocked how quickly it worked, I don't have many stretch marks but the difference in a week of using it twice a day is incredible, I've used other creams for months without the effects this one has. The applicator is one of a kind.

What changes would you make to this product?

I wouldn’t change anything, I can’t fault it, does everything it says it will and more, maybe if I could change something it would be the price, but I wouldn't mind paying more for this product as it works so brilliantly, this is the best range of mother and baby products I have ever used. I’ll be continuing to use them and will encourage everyone else to as well.

Tested by mum Stacey Jeebooah for the M&B Awards 2017:

Would you recommend this to other mums?

Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend or fellow mum because it's packaged beautifully, and very slimline making it easy to hold, pack and transport and the serum smells so nice that I could smell it all day! It has an easy to use roller ball applicator which you can twist 'on' and 'off' so that you can massage deep into the skin without using too much. It is also a non-greasy serum which gives it a lighter feel on the skin, and lessens the worry of marking any clothing you put over the area.

How did this product make your life easier?

The product makes my life easier as a mum as it's a slimline tube, making it much easier to hold, pack away and transport than a chunky bottles. The serum is non greasy, therefore not staining or watermarking clothing, so I do not have that worry. Also the tube has a twistable nozzle and roller ball applicator, so if my toddler were to grab hold of it, it would be very difficult for him to spill anywhere in the house, so that is a worry I don't have should he get his hands on it when I'm not looking.

Would you choose this product to win?

What stands out for me are two things: the roller ball applicator and the lovely smell! I love that it is a roller ball applicator so you only use what is necessary, twist to turn off once you have applied enough serum, and can massage nicely without having to do it with your hands. The smell is absolutely gorgeous and makes me look forward to applying it. Also, unlike other stretch mark products, I love that it is non greasy, giving it a nicer and lighter feel on the skin and avoids marks on clothing.

What changes would you make to this product?

It comes in a 70ml tube which I think is probably too small if applying twice a day. After using it for four or five days, the tube already feels like a third or so has been used.
