Stretch Marks:

The elastin fibers in the dermis layer are responsible for making the skin elastic and firm. These fibers typically produce adequate quantities of the major nutrient collagen.

When the skin becomes overstretched, the dermis layer which lies between the epidermis and hypodermis, gets torn. This action disrupts the production of collagen, causing the skin to stretch beyond its limits. The lack of collagen compounds the issue by makes it so the skin is unable to return to its original position, causing stretch marks appear on the surface of the skin.
