Only retinol cream will not help. Three things to do. First topical medication like retinol or vit e based cream second procedures like Radio Frequency, Electroporation, skin policing, platelate rich Plazma, fractional laser etc And third muscle tightening.

Retinol cream will work but very slowly and superficially. It works best when the stretch marks are still reddish. Once they become old, laser resurfacing is the only permanent solution for Stretch marks.
