Does this work on white stretch marks? I have them on my arms and that is the biggest problem. I am never able to wear tank tops and this summer I want to. I was considering getting this one because I have VERY pale skin and every other body concealer is too dark.

Face and body is quite translucent but can be used to hide minor blemishes quite successfully. Why not get a sample from a counter or store and see if it works? I love F&B and it's reasonably waterproof too which is a bonus.

Where I go the counter doesn't give out any samples. I don't get why a foundation for the body would only be used to cover minor blemishes. That is what gets me...body foundations should be able to hide big blemishes. If the stuff weren't so expensive, I would buy it asap and try it. But I can't imagine spending 32 dollars on something and finding out it doesn't even work on my stretch marks.

Hi,

I used to have pretty bad stretch marks and red scars around my belly region ever since I gave birth to my three kids.I had tried Vitamin E oil and cocoa butter which a number of people had recommended but unfortunately it didn't seem to work too well. My Doctor had even suggested that I go for a Tummy Tuck. I then recently read an article about a lady who supposedly got rid of her stretch marks using a particular cream. I tried it and it worked really well. It took a number of weeks but my stretch marks soon faded away. You can read the lady's article at the link below.

What an amazing difference. I wonder if it'll work on old stretch marks?

Face & Body foundation is not a very opaque foundation. It's formulated to be able to cover large areas and not to rub off onto clothing easily. If you want something to cover major blemishes and discolourations you need something else. It may well cover white stretch marks but you do need to try some before you buy. Good luck!

Thanks. I think I will give it a shot anyway. My stretch marks are totally white. And I know mac is the only place that would sell a color light enough for my arms.
