Algae extracts, arginine and the aloe itself have long been used in high end European spas to help tone the skin. These are the key ingredients in this product that are doing the work.

It can definitely help. Arginine and algae extracts are the key ingredients that help to improve the localized circulation and toning to the area. Improving circulation helps your body to break apart the localized deposits. How quickly this works, is very consumer dependant.

Yes it can. Stretch marks are essentially scar tissue that has resulted from an area stretching quickly over time - such as during pregnancy. The key again is to help improve blood circulation to the area so that your own body will break them down over time. The main ingredients helping this process in the formula are: vitamin E, arginine, algae extract, arnica and the aloe. Some consumers have reported that when using this product on their stretch marks which are brown in colour initially, they start to brighten for a time and then slowly fade. The amount of time required before a customer sees a difference is very individual - it depends on how recent and extensive the marks are, their ethnicity and skin type.

This was intentional. Due to the light weight texture, and high "spreadability" factor - a very little goes a long way. It is created differently than other body moisturizers on the market. Most consumers find that a couple of pumps per key area are sufficient. If too much is applied, it may leave the skin feeling slightly tacky or sticky. Less is actually more in this case!

This was also intentional. I wanted to create a sophisticated fragrance that has mood elevating properties but I also wanted it to dissipate quickly so that it would not compete with your personal fragrance choice. I have always found it frustrating to have body care products that are so heavily scented that you end up smelling like a giant apricot all day - even though I might like the smell of apricots (initially).

As an all over body moisturizer, using it once per day the 120mL/4oz should last a consumer 6-8 weeks. If using it as a "targeted" product - on certain problem areas, then clearly much longer. Also, as stated before, the longer you use the product, the better your skin gets, the less you need. Also, in climates that are warmer - and during the summer months the product would also last longer for the average consumer.
