Eveline Cosmetics Slim Extreme review

I bought this in HK's Sasa a while back for $115 HKD ($14.80 USD).

Claims:

Firmer and tighter looking skin Slims the silhouette, effective on waist, buttocks and thighs 

Warming up effect ensures maximum results

Product Description:

The first Thermo Active Cellulite Serum developed in the laboratory of Eveline Cosmetics visibly reduces the appearance of cellulite by treating the affected area, and smoothing the skin's surface. Thanks to the technologically advanced Thermo Active formula, it delicately warms up the skin, enabling instant penetration of active substances in to the epidermis, assuring maximum results.

I can't say I'm surprised to see the number of ingredients listed as the scent is quite overwhelming.

For the past month, I have been using this 3-4 times a week. I use a liberal amount each time and started seeing results in 2 weeks.

I recorded the pros and cons I observed during the month

pros:

• works, it made my body feel much firmer. I started feeling and seeing the results after 2 weeks
  
• while I wasn't a fan of the scent, it did not linger on my body
  
• it works particularly well on my legs and thighs
  
• it got rid of some of the cellulite on my butt
  
• the lotion/cream felt very light on my skin

cons:

• be very aware if you have sensitive skin. Towards my second week, Eczema which has disappeared from my body for over 10 years started re-appearing. While it works and does an amazing job firming up your skin, know the consequences... my advice is to use it once a week on areas that are more sensitive.
  
• more does not mean better. I find the more I try to layer on, the more watery it becomes... literally like water
  
• I didn't feel any warming effect

Verdict:

While it certainly works on my legs and thigh and got rid of some of the cellulite on my butt, it didn't do much for other parts of the body (arms, waist, etc). It is a good price for something that can be used temporarily if you were to attend a certain event and needed some firming in a short time but wouldn't suggest long term as it isn't good for people with sensitive skin.


Score: 7.8/10
