don't use vitamin E, it's actually been proven to make them worse. And it made mine worse until I quit using it.

drink plenty of water, eat adequate healthy fats, and some say cocoa butter helps

Unfortunately there is no remedy for stretch marks. Some things can lessen the appearance ie lots of water and laser treatments which are very costly but even they do not get rid of them entirely they just help. Don't bother with the snake oils out there. Yes even in this day and age there is no cure for stretch marks or cellulite. These are genetcially determined and also by lots of weight gain, and loss and aging.
