I am using these to tighten and firm the skin on my thighs, buttocks and stomach after childbirth two weeks ago. I had a lot of water in my body the last weeks of pregnancy, so my skin was stretched to the max. Also I had some cellulite. After using these products for just two weeks (every morning after shower, massaging in to the skin), I notice big improvement in the skin's softness. The contours of my body have also improved, a bit to my surprise. This has also got to do with the rapid weightloss after childbirth, but the skin's firmness in spite of this weightloss I'm convinced is because of the oil and lotion, and massaging.
I have some concerns though.. The oil is so fast absorbed by the skin that it is hard to massage it into the skin, and I need a lot of it each day. 10 "pumps" on each thigh plus a lot more on the stomach, so the bottle is emptying quite fast. Also, the cellulium is fast-absorbed, which can be great if you have little time and want to get dressed, but not so if you like to massage it in the skin.
But as long as I notice some effect from products like these, I am pleased! If you'd like a cheaper alternative however, you can try the Dermalogica Toxin Relief Oil, which is also great. I wrote a review of this a couple of months ago. |

Congratulations Siri and welcome back! Is it a boy or a girl? Hope you're both well 
And just to prevent my post from being off-topic to this forum, I'm adding my vote for the Dermalogica Toxin Relief Oil (though I also find that it's absorbed a bit quicker than I would like). |

| Thank you, Mabsy! It is a beautiful little girl, we are so happy! Everything is now well with both her and me, after some complications after birth (sectio). Having a child have changed everything, in a good way! |
