Question:
Has anyone tried the new

I was just wondering if anyone has tried those type of lotions with any success. I'm about 80 pounds down and my arms are getting a bit flabby/flappy/slappy. I've started using weights, but I wanted to try a lotion. If you have tried one that works, please let me know! Thank you!    — Jillian C. (posted on July 24, 2003)

I've tried the Nivea and the Jergan's firming lotions....no luck with either. Also, the new one from Avon. I followed the directions faithfully for all products until they were gone. I do not see where they did anything for me personally. Hey, but they smelled good...teh (actually I thought the Nivea was kind of stinky). -Kim open RNY 7/17/01 -145ish

During the TV "Sweeps" our local station did one consumer report program about "firming lotions" the other about wrinkle creams. They tested them on subjects and bought the cheapest to the most expensive products (some were $200 for 4 oz). They did the test over a period on 90 days and then provided the results - none of them worked :-(

Sorry, sweetie, no amount of firming lotion in the world will take care of the flabbies. Its plastic surgery. Exercise/weights will help to firm up underlying muscle but skin is skin and nothing firms that up.
