Mustela 3 in 1 Stretch Marks Cream

Mustela 3 in 1 Stretch Marks Cream is a skincare cream formulated for external use on the abdomen, hips, thighs and other areas of skin that stretch. It is made with 96% naturally derived ingredients and is free from parabens, phthalates and phenoxyethanol. The key ingredients include avocado oil, maracuja (passionfruit) oil, glycerin and a patented plant-based ingredient called Galactoarabinan.

Mustela is a French skincare brand with a long history of developing products for babies, children and mothers-to-be, and this cream belongs to its maternity range. The formula combines a lightweight, fast-absorbing texture with a mild, pleasant scent profile. Avocado oil is rich in essential fatty acids, maracuja oil is known for its soothing qualities on skin, and glycerin is a well-known humectant that attracts and holds water in the outer layer of skin.

The cream is intended for external use on intact skin only and should be kept away from the eyes. Pack sizes can vary between listings, so please check the product page and the printed label for the exact size you are ordering. It is a cosmetic-type skincare product, so ingredient suitability should be checked carefully by anyone with allergies or very sensitive skin.

Wash and dry the skin area first. Take a small amount of cream and apply it to the skin using gentle circular, upward massage movements until it is fully absorbed. Allow the cream to absorb before dressing so that it does not transfer to clothing.

Apply on intact, unbroken skin only. Avoid contact with the eyes and do not apply to broken, irritated or weeping skin. Rinse with clean water if cream gets into the eyes. Wash your hands after application and close the cap or pump firmly after each use.

Apply a sufficient amount to cover the chosen skin area with a thin, even layer, as directed on the product label. This is a topical skincare cream, so there is no oral dose and no systemic daily dose. Follow the frequency printed on the pack rather than increasing how often you apply it.

If you miss an application, simply apply at the next usual time without doubling up. If irritation develops or the skin condition worsens or persists, stop using the cream and speak with a doctor or pharmacist.

Use before the expiry date printed on the packaging. Once opened, use within the period-after-opening symbol shown on the pack, if one is printed.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, with the cap tightly closed. Keep out of the reach of children and do not store in places that become very hot, such as inside a parked car.

• Common: Mild skin redness, itching, stinging or a warm sensation at the application site, particularly on sensitive skin.
• Common: Mild dryness or irritation in people who are sensitive to fragrance or plant oil ingredients.
• Serious: Signs of an allergic reaction such as spreading rash, hives, swelling of the lips, face or tongue, or difficulty breathing. Stop use and get urgent medical help, because the cream contains plant oils such as avocado and passionfruit oil that can trigger allergy in sensitive people.

• Known allergy or hypersensitivity to avocado, passionfruit (maracuja), glycerin, Galactoarabinan or any other ingredient in the formula.
• Do not apply to broken, bleeding, infected or severely irritated skin.
• Do not use near the eyes or on mucous membranes.

• No clinically significant interactions with oral medicines are known for this product when it is used on intact skin.
• Avoid applying other medicated creams or ointments on the same area at the same time unless a pharmacist has advised it.
• No food interactions are known for this product.

• Patch test on a small area of skin first, especially if you have sensitive skin or a history of allergy to plant oils.
• Apply to clean, dry skin and allow the cream to absorb fully before dressing.
• Use gentle circular movements, and avoid rubbing roughly over stretched or tender skin.
• Keep the cap closed tightly after each use to keep the cream clean and the pack hygienic.
• Check the expiry date and the period-after-opening symbol on the pack before use.
• Wash your hands before and after application so the cream stays free from contamination.

Precautions: Mustela 3 in 1 Stretch Marks Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes and do not apply to broken, irritated or weeping skin. People with allergies to avocado, passionfruit or other plant oils should take care. A small patch test before first use is sensible for sensitive skin. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and have any concerns about a skincare product, check with a doctor or pharmacist. Stop use if irritation develops.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: See a doctor or pharmacist if the skin becomes red, swollen, painful or starts to weep, if a rash develops or spreads, if you show signs of an allergic reaction, or if a skin problem continues or worsens despite following the label directions. Seek urgent medical help for any swelling of the face or lips or difficulty breathing.
