Many people don’t know this, but the molecular size of most oils and moisturizers is too large to penetrate the first layer of skin. The second layer of skin, the dermis, is where stretch marks occur, so it is important to keep the dermis hydrated so that the skin can stretch without tearing and causing a stretch mark. When we apply oils and moisturizers to our skin we are only preventing our skin from drying out, we are not actually treating damage that is already there.
Silicone patches work by creating a natural microclimate that pulls moisture from within the body, up through all the surfaces of your skin. This allows the dermis to receive the moisture and collagen it needs to prevent it from tearing as our belly grows during pregnancy and shrinks post-pregnancy.
