“I have the Mama Soft Stretch Marks Cream and I am absolutely thrilled. I'm not a fan of baby bump oils because they are too greasy for me, so I was looking for a good, natural cream. This cream from LaLinda smells wonderful, is quickly absorbed, is not sticky and although I have very sensitive skin, it feels very pleasant. Before using, I was slightly itchy from the stretching of the skin. Since the first application of the LaLinda Mama Soft Cream, however, it has completely disappeared. I can recommend the product 100% and I will certainly try many other Lalinda products. "
