The best thing I have found is something I make, and it's easy.  I mix 50/50 grapeseed oil and argan oil.  It works on scars, stretch marks, whatever.  Way better than cocoa butter or anything.  I had red keloid scars from surgery, and now they're flat and no redness at all.  I used it 2x a day, a little goes a long way.  You can get grapeseed oil in any grocery, and usually argan oil at a natural food store or find it online.  Make sure it's PURE argan oil, not mixed with anything.  Both oils are very compatible with skin, it's not like putting Wesson all over you. :D

 Home Health Almond Glow......This Is what I used during my pregnancy, and got no marks...but I do think genetics also play a role in the formation of stretch marks.

Palmers has products for this.Cocoa butter, is awesome. Keep moist, that's the key!!!
But I do agree that genetics can play a big part.
