Eveline Slim Extreme 3D Thermo Active Cellulite Cream Hot Serum Treatment for Shaping Waist, Abdomen and Buttocks,

I purchased this product because I needed some assistance in burning hip and thigh fat, and my goal was to get as much bang for my buck so to speak when working out. By increasing blood flow to the hips and thighs (via heat), that fat will be more easily mobilized and burned (providing I am in a caloric deficit). I also tried a product called VelaShape before, but it's a tad expensive. That said, I don't recall needing to shower in order for it to work, but I can't recall either.Before purchasing this product, I read both the positive and negative reviews. It seems that most of the negative reviews are complaints that the product is HOT. I don't want to be mean, but the description DOES say that it is HOT. And it is, if you apply it right after a warm shower. Other reviews say the product "doesn't work", but you can't just apply it, start dreaming of having thinner thighs - and have them in one week! I mean, you can get really far using law of attraction, but you have to take some inspired action, too! That, and you have to eat less than your body requires for energy, which requires some strategy and tracking.Now that I got that out of the way...I think I understand why some reviews mentioned they didn't "feel" anything, which made me curious. I tried applying this product three different ways.1. NO SHOWER before workout: I applied it without showering and 20 minutes prior to working out. I didn't feel much. So I applied more, which uses more product obviously. :/ It didn't deliver much of a punch even with all of the skin agitation (massaging it into the skin). I was surprised.2, COOL SHOWER before workout: I applied it directly after taking a cool shower, but it was slightly better than NO shower, but not by much. I still had to apply more product to get some heat, and even then, it was mild IMO.3. WARM/VERY WARM SHOWER: This works best. I noticed that if I take at least a warm shower, a single application begins to heat within a few minutes. It gets quite warm (ahem, HOT!), so you want to be careful where you are applying it. (And I am serious about that!) Even if I wash my hands and then apply eye cream, it can heat up that eye area for about 10 minutes!I was very curious as to why this didn't work as well without a shower as opposed to with a shower - and a warm one at that. I can only surmise that in order to this to be maximally activated, the skin's pores must be open. If it were a simple agitation of the skin to activate the skin prior to the application, then a cold shower and cleaning with soap would be enough to "agitate" the skin, but it's not. It seems to work only with at least a warm shower. And if I make the water even warmer, the product seems to work faster and lasts longer.Of course, I discovered that I can also prolong the heat by taking an internal thermogenic, like MCT oil capsules (I use the NOW brand). I did this a couple of times and holy cow, my entire body was hot for like, 4 hours!! (I don't think I want to do this when it's 90 degrees out and humid!)I do have very sensitive skin, but I did not have any reaction to the "heat". No rash. No welts. I haven't even seen my skin turn red, surprisingly. I didn't expect miracles to happen when using this, but I did want to get added value from my workout. (Thigh fat is difficult to burn because of the type of receptors there, so applied heat should increase the blood flow to those hard to burn areas.) That said, I only use it when I work out in the morning right after a warm shower. If I work out in the afternoon, I don't apply it because it doesn't seem to heat up much anyway. I have to say, though, if you have tired/sore muscles, they will certainly recover with this product!I will continue using this product, although maybe not when it gets hotter outside. I don't know if I could stand the heat from the product and from outside simultaneously! On a side note, I find this product to be more of a gel consistency - not a cream as in the description. Once it dries, it's no longer sticky. I do find it annoying that a sticker is placed RIGHT OVER the directions AND the ingredients. I don't know whose brilliant idea this is because I can't get the sticker off. Overall, Eveline promises HOT and it delivers on that. The rest is up to me!

Understand that this product are for those who really wish to loose weight. There is no miracle cream or pill that is going to do the work for u! I have been working out for a little over a year now and have lost over 85 pounds. I've already reached my target weight however, the small pouch in my stomach just didn't seem like it was going to go away no matter how many ab workouts or cardio I do. So I did some research...was going to purchase the it works" wraps from a friend however those I just far too expensive so I decided to take a less expensive route and buy the Slim extreme 4D and the slim extrem 3D thermo cream. I also bought two rolls of plastic wrap. I have been using these products everyday for the last 3-4 weeks. I put on the thermo cream before I do my 30 minutes of cardio and then I use the 4D slim extreme during my ab workouts, in the sauna, or right when I get out the shower after a workout. Warning: do not use the thermo cream when going in the sauna..u will regret it! Anyhow, before I used these product, I was 158 pounds, 30 in around the waist, my tummy was full of stretch marks and cellulite that I accumulated after one birth and gaining tons of weight. I am now 26 inches around the waist and 153 lbs! My love handles are almost gone! The kangaroo pouch is almost gone...it completely shrinked! I've have this kangaroo pouch since high school and long before I had a child!! My stretch marks hasn't completely disappear however they are atlease 5 times lighter than they were before I used this product. I actually seen results on the stretch marks after the first few times of using the products! The cellulite is almost gone as well! I had a small dent in the middle of my stomach that has decrease in size. I also use the 4D on the cellulite on my thighs and those are completely smooth and tone now as well! Mind you, I do cardio 5 days a week for at lease 30 minutes.. The 3D thermo makes u sweat within 5 minutes and u can feel it working on your tummy. When u take the plastic wrap off, it's soaked in sweat!! Like this thermo cream really give u an extra push when it comes to doing cardio. I don't believe the 4D cream is nearly as effective as the thermo cream when working out so I think you can get away with using the 4D cream after showers...it's not as much in the bottle as it is with the 3D thermo so u may want to buy two bottles are just use it when u shower after workouts! Overall, Eveline products are really inexpensive to do what they do to not give a try! They are actually pretty cheaper than lipo laser (which I've tried, not so effective without multiple sessions), a gym membership (which I pay 30 a month for), a membership to weigh loss products, or any miracle pill that hardly does nothing! if you already have the self motivation and will power to exercise and diet, then this product is for u! If you can go really hard in the gym and stay on a strict but not so strict diet for at lease a month, then this product will work for u! All it does is gives you an extra push... A BIG push actually!!! I've been working so hard for so long to tone my stomach and define my abs that I was actually getting pretty frustrated and believed that this is just how my tummy is. But I didn't want to give up because I wanted abs lol Eveline products has restored my motivation to continue my weight loss journey... I know that I will have those abs before summer! My stomach is like almost flat, all my dresses fit so perfectly now it's amazing...great boost of confidence and lightening up my strech marks and the smoothness it gives ur skin is just a plus! These products will work for u if u, ur self is actually pushing for a change! Don't waste the cream or you'll money if u are not going to be active or if ur going to eat hecka process food, sugar, and red meat....FYI, I cut these out my diet long before I started using the products so I didn't have to alter my eating habits, but I'm pretty sure if u do eat these things frequently, the products will not do much for u. I urge u to do all 3 , diet, exercise, and use the products....I promise you won't regret it! It's a Very very inexpensive price for what it can potentially do for u! 5 stars!

I am rating this as a 3 because I just started using the product yesterday and can't be quite sure how effective it is now, but will update when I've gave it some time. So far when opening the stuff comes out in this red goo. I rubbed it in on my stomach and butt. Also make sure to rub it in with circles. This activates and soon it will get hot and feel like its kind of burning, but you can tell that you feel it working. After it stops feeling hot the area feels like its tighting my stomach and lifting the butt. So far I like how it feels and works. The only thing I really don't like is its smell. If you can ignore the smell then maybe you will like this product.
