This Nivea Luminous630 oil-serum with Thiamidol fades stretch marks in two weeks
Stretch marks that visibly fade in two weeks, without waiting months to see results: that’s the promise behind Nivea’s Luminous630 Anti-Stretch Mark Body Oil-Serum, a treatment designed specifically to reduce the appearance of these skin marks, whether recent or long-standing.
A treatment built to go where others fall short
Stretch marks appear for all kinds of reasons: pregnancy, weight fluctuations, hormonal changes. When they’re new, their red or purple hue makes them particularly hard to ignore. Most standard body care products focus primarily on hydration, which isn’t always enough to reduce that visual contrast.
The Luminous630 Oil-Serum takes a different approach. Its formula targets the colour difference between the stretch mark and the surrounding skin directly. At the same time, its oil texture delivers 48 hours of hydration and leaves skin feeling immediately soft to the touch.
The brand also points out that this treatment isn’t only for freshly formed marks. Even older stretch marks can appear visibly reduced with regular use, across all skin tones.
Thiamidol, the patented ingredient at the heart of the Nivea formula
Behind the product’s claimed efficacy lies an active ingredient patented by the brand: Thiamidol. This molecule works by rebalancing the skin’s natural melanin production, which gradually reduces the tone difference between stretch marks and the rest of the skin.
Developing this ingredient was no quick feat. Nivea’s scientists dedicated ten years of research to the project, reviewing more than 50,000 ingredients before arriving at this technology. That long-haul effort is why the brand positions Thiamidol as a standalone active, distinct from classic moisturising formulas.
It’s also what sets this oil-serum apart from the brand’s iconic blue tin. That remains a go-to for nourishing and protecting dry areas, but it doesn’t act on the colour contrast of stretch marks. The two products simply answer different needs.
What the brand claims in terms of concrete results
Nivea states that the treatment begins working from the very first day of application. The first visible changes, meanwhile, are said to be noticeable after two weeks of regular use. For an anti-stretch mark product, that’s a relatively short timeframe, and it’s one of the key selling points the brand puts forward.
These results are claimed across all skin tones, which broadens the range of people who can benefit from the product. Whether skin is fair, medium or deep, the formula is presented as suitable for all.
- Works from day one, according to the brand

- Formula suitable for all skin tones
How to use the oil-serum as part of your daily routine
The routine Nivea recommends is easy to work into your day. One application per day is all it takes: apply the product generously to the areas you want to treat, then massage in with circular movements until fully absorbed. This daily ritual is also said to help prevent new stretch marks from forming.
One thing worth noting: it’s not recommended to layer multiple products containing Thiamidol on the same day. In practice, that means avoiding combining this treatment with another product from the range that relies on the same active ingredient.
Ultimately, what makes this oil-serum interesting is its specificity. Where many body treatments promise broad, all-round action, this one targets a precise concern: making stretch marks less visible by acting on their contrast with the surrounding skin. And with results potentially showing in as little as two weeks, the verdict can come around far sooner than you might expect.
