Hi ferlyn,
You didn't say which Palmer's formula that you used. Try Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula & Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks. It might take several weeks before you see any improvement. Varicose veins are difficult, Try using a makeup cover up for varicose veins like Coverblend makeup. This makeup smooths the skin and completely covers varicose veins or spider veins.

Yes lots of water and fruit and vegetables, try to avoid processed foods. I also used Trilogy Rosehip Oil, it is brilliant and it has proven to make a remarkable difference to scar tissue, stretch marks, veins and wrinkles ! I have been using Trilogy Rosehip Oil for years and it is brill ! You don't need too much and a little goes a long way, I even use it as a moisturiser on my face and it isn't at all greasy ! Good luck!
