Hi! What I understand is we should only start using stretch mark prevention cream/oil/lotion only after first trimester? I used Bio Oil on my sister-in-law's recommendation and had no stretch marks after delivery.
Clarins is super good. I dont get stretch marks till now. When I forget to use it for a few days, I put on the cream and immediately the next day the stretch marks and itchiness are gone.
I've been using both stretch mark cream and oil since week8. I use cream during day time and oil during night time. Brands that I've tried are Mustela, Gaia, Weleda & Clarins.

I didnt develop any stretchmarks and i only used bio oil since second tri. Your genes could also play a part whether u will have stretchmarks i guess.
I’m using Clarins and I still have stretch mark (in T3) since it’s largely genetics . I feel that bio oil is too watery compared to Clarins
I think u no need to use so early... Use starting 2nd tri.. clarins is quite popular brand.
Im currently using Mustela 3in1 stretch marks cream .
Clarins. Bio oil doesnt really absorp
Usually start on 2nd trimester
