It sounds too good to be true, but this pair of products was formulated to firm, tighten, and tone the body in just one month, while a 28-day clinical trial showed a noticeable firmness increase of 13 percent with the serum alone and 16 percent with the cream, Used in double doses, it feels like a full-fledged spa treatment. [A blend of caffeine, tiger grass, and the South American plant bordeaux, it smoothes the skin, aims to break down fat cells, and boosts skin metabolism. It also stimulates the lymphatic system, helping to detoxify the body and reduce swelling. The body serum is a light and airy formula that blends easily into the skin, while the rich cream is luxurious and emollient, enveloping the skin for hours.

Listen, the concept of a "bikini body" is not real. Your body is a bikini body all year round. But now that you're in your late twenties and can no longer treat your body poorly or expect it to be as taut as it once was, you can do a little more ...... shush shush shush shush shush shush shush shush. (I make a vague "tightening" sound while making a squeezing motion with both hands.) I have tried many formulas that promise to tighten and lift, but have rarely noticed a real difference. But this serum and cream combo works. Visible changes in just two months. (I'm not a masochist, so no pictures.) For 8 weeks, every time I showered, I applied the serum (opens in new tab) all over my body and carefully massaged it in until it was absorbed, stimulating lymphatic flow. Immediately afterwards, I applied the cream (opens in new tab) and my skin became very soft; after a month, I noticed that my thighs and buttocks were less dimpled and more even in tone, and after another four weeks, I was shocked at the difference in smoothness. My arms were tighter and the small stretch marks on my décolleté were improved. Needless to say, I used up every last drop of the bottle and jar. The verdict is: a resounding success.
