BELLI Elasticity Belly Oil looks like a bottle of a olive oil. The bottle is designed so you can spray the oil on, but my bottle was defective. I was unable to use the spray function and instead, I had to unscrew the cap and pour it on my hands. <br /> <br />I actually recommend applying it by hand since this oil permanently stains cotton clothing. I accidentally got some of this oil on my shirt and it stained my shirt. I tried getting the stain out, but I had no luck. <br /> <br />The oil itself actually did seem to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and left my skin feeling nice. Still, this is a messy product. <br /> <br />Lastly, I wrote to BELLI to enquire as to whether this product was tested on animals and never received a response. I was disappointed at this lack of concern for customer questions. I researched this topic on the internet and it appears that BELLI products are NOT tested on animals. However, the label of the belly oil does not indicate whether it has been tested on animals. <br /> <br />I'm not quite sure how to rate this item. It is what it claims to be - a stretch mark reducing oil. This was my first time trying a body oil though and found I did not like it. My dislike of body oils does not mean this is a bad product and those who like body oils will likely be satisfied. <br /> Rating: 4 / 5 Smear yourself with this lotion and feel like a salad!

It absorbs very nicely but is still an oil so you need to be careful with your nicer clothing. It comes in a spray bottle but it can be directed well-it doesn't spray all wild. The sent is very relaxing and very lavender. Probably the nicest oil i've ever used. Rating: 4 / 5 This oil has a very nice texture.

The spray is nice to have and easy to apply. <br /> <br />However the price is outrageous. And so is the promise to protect against stretchmarks. I do not personally believe that much can be done as far as stretchmarks are concerned. Either you will get them or you won't. <br /> <br />If you get stretchmarks how will you verify that they would be worse without using the product? If you don't get any stretchmarks how will you know that it's because of the expensive oil. But if it will make you feel better and you can afford it easily, go ahead.

I thought this was a good value for the money. Then I thought, if they give you so much oil, then it must have some weird-do ingredients that I couldn't pronounce. To my surprise I could read and understand all the ingredients in this product. I am very conscious of what I put on my skin and how it could affect the baby. <br />The oil is light but highly moisturizing oil that claims to reduce the incidence of stretch marks during pregnancy. I'm currently at 19 weeks and remain stretch mark free so far. I've only been using the Belli Oil for about 6 weeks and I have no stretch marks and no itchy belly that I read so much about! During my 1st Trimester I could not stand the smell of anything so I was not able to use the Belli Oil. The oil is easy to apply and so far has been effective. Scent is not outstanding, but not bad either. I am NOT a fan of the spray bottle. The spray bottle could be worse but it could be A LOT better. <br /> <br />Other than the spray bottle, I have no complaints. GREAT PRODUCT! <br /> <br /> <br /> Rating: 4 / 5 When I received the Belli Oil, I was surprised on how much Belli oil you actually get. I thought this was a good value for the money.

I ended up with lots of stretch marks anyway! I had heard that continuing to use the products after delivery would help to lessen the appearance of the stretch marks but this wasn't so for me. I decided to pick this up in hopes it may help, but again, it did not. I've heard a product called Mederma has some success on lessening the appearance of stretch marks (it's made for reducing the appearance of scars) and I will try that next. <br /> <br />As for preventing stretch marks, so far I don't have any new ones and I will update after delivery. I don't know if this was because my skin has already been stretched or if the product is really working. I guess there is no way to know for certain as some women can use no product and have no stretch marks at all. It's all in the genes, baby! <br /> <br />Honestly, for the price, you'd be wise to assume it's just going to be a really nice, high quality body oil that smells great and really helps you to feel tranquil and at peace. It's awesome before a meditation or yoga session or after a long, hot soak in the tub. If it works on stretch marks also, it's just a bonus. ;) Rating: 4 / 5 I tried a few different stretch mark prevention products when I was pregnant with my son and sadly none of them work.
