Azlok Anti Stretch Marks Extract Oil Blend is a liquid herbal blend meant to be massaged into the skin to help soften and gradually fade the appearance of stretch marks over time. It combines plant extracts like Tulsi, Aloe Vera, Gotu Kola, Wheat Germ, Calendula and Manjistha, and works best with regular, consistent use rather than as a one-time fix. Priced at ₹449, it is available in sizes from 100 gm right up to 20 kg for larger or commercial needs.
What is this blend and what's inside it
Stretch marks (striae) appear when skin stretches quickly — during pregnancy, growth spurts, weight change or muscle gain — and the collagen and elastin underneath get disturbed. There is no product that erases them instantly, but a nourishing oil blend can keep skin supple and, with time, help the marks look less prominent.
The key constituents in this blend are chosen for their traditional skin-conditioning uses:
- Tulsi — a well-known herb valued for its cleansing, soothing qualities.
- Aloe Vera — hydrating and calming for stretched, irritated skin.
- Gotu Kola — long used in skincare for supporting healthy-looking skin.
- Wheat Germ — rich, nourishing oil often used on dry and scarred areas.
- Calendula — a gentle, comforting botanical for sensitive skin.
- Manjistha — a classic Ayurvedic herb prized for its skin-brightening reputation.
How to use it
Consistency matters more than quantity. Here is a simple routine:
- Cleanse and pat the area dry.
- Take a few drops of the blend on your fingertips.
- Massage into the affected area — belly, hips, thighs, breasts, upper arms — in slow circular motions for two to three minutes.
- Let it absorb before dressing. Apply twice daily, morning and night.
The massage itself matters. Gentle circular pressure improves circulation to the area and helps the oil sink in. For pregnancy-related marks, many people start applying from the second trimester as a preventive measure, but do check with your doctor first.
Realistic expectations
Be patient. Older, white or silvery marks are harder to change than fresh pink or red ones. With daily use you may first notice softer, better-hydrated skin, and over several weeks the marks may look less sharp. This is a supportive, cosmetic approach — it does not remove scars surgically, and results vary from person to person.
Safety and precautions
This is an external-use product. Please keep these points in mind:
- Patch test first. Apply a small amount on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours to rule out irritation.
- For external use only. Do not ingest. Keep away from eyes and broken skin.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding? Speak to your healthcare provider before starting any new skincare product.
- Stop use if you notice redness, itching or discomfort.
Buying and storage tips
Azlok offers this blend in packs from 100 gm to 20 kg, so home users can start small while salons and makers can buy in bulk. A 100 gm bottle lasts a while when you use only a few drops per application.
Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect the botanical oils. Keep the cap tightly closed. The stated shelf life is two years; use within that window and always check that the oil smells fresh before applying. A characteristic herbal odour is normal for a plant-extract blend.
FAQ
Can this oil completely remove old stretch marks?
No product guarantees complete removal, especially of older, faded marks. With regular use this blend helps skin stay supple and can make marks look less noticeable over time, but results differ between individuals.
How long before I see results?
Most people need several weeks of twice-daily use before noticing a difference. Fresh, reddish marks tend to respond faster than old white ones. Consistency is the single biggest factor.
Is it safe to use during pregnancy?
It is a topical herbal blend, but because pregnancy skin can be sensitive, it is best to confirm with your doctor before you begin and to do a patch test first.
How much should I apply each time?
A few drops massaged into each area is enough. Applying more won't speed up results — regular, gentle massage twice a day works better than heavy occasional use.
How should I store the oil?
Keep it in a cool, dry spot away from sunlight, with the cap tightly closed. Used this way it stays good for up to two years from manufacture.
