FAIL slimming products (Loreal, Face Shop, Etude House, Missha)

I’m a very lazy person so I wanted everything shortcut that includes losing weight. I’ve been obese since birth, ok let me correct; not actually since birth. I’m freaking skinny during my kinder garden days but started to balloon since then. My weight reached the plateau when I’m on my 4th grade, I think I am the heaviest in the class that time.


I didn’t really care much about my weight as I love food more than anything. Anyway to cut this emo story short, I started to care about my health issues on my college days and that is the time I started purchasing creams, lotions, essences thinking that by merely patting those so-called “miracle” products would actually make me skinny!

Here are the products I purchased that didn’t work at all! So if you guys are planning to purchase some of these, think again~ (you don’t want your $$$ to go to trash eh?)


I’ve blogged about the ever famous 2B Alternative which is mad expensive but is a total waste of product. You can read it here.

And here are the latter Slimming products that I’ve tried and conclude is a total waste of money:


Brand: Etude House
1) Hot Slim Gel

- tingly warm feeling but would fade after around 10 minutes.
- very sticky


2) Cool- Slim Scrub Wash
- cools your skin but leaves rashes and allergy on my skin
- the scrub beads is too rough


3) After Slim Cream

- smooth and creamy substance but is a little too oily on my skin

4) Sweet Appleade Anti-Cellulite Body Gel

- consistency is too thick and sticky


5) Sweet Appleade Anti-Cellulite Body Wash
- cool creamy wash


Does it work? NO, it doesn’t even smooth my skin.


Brand: MISSHA
1) HOT BURNING-SALT BODY SCRUB
- experience mild warm feeling; rough scrub beads that gives me rashes


Does it work? NO, it doesn’t even cleanse my skin well.


Brand: THE FACE SHOP

1) CELLU-L STOP BODY CREAM

- nice consistency; blends into skin; not sticky


2) CELLU-L STOP BODY WASH

- strong caffeine smell, cools your skin that may last around 20-30 minutes


3) CELLU-L STOP BODY GEL
- strong caffeine smell, experience very cool feeling and would make you sweat


4) CELLU-L STOP- INTENSIVE BODY PATCH

- cool feeling


Does it work? Yes and No, I don’t see any reduction or lightening of cellulite but it does help reduce water retention. It can help you get rid of excess fluids by sweating without having to do hardcore exercise.


Brand:LOREAL
1) PERFECT SLIM


- smooth consistency, makes your skin smooth


2) PERFECT LASER



- metallic greenish color that may stain on your skin.
- smooth consistency


Does it work? A definite NO. The price is kinda pricey yet it doesn’t do anything, no sweat, no reduction. It just works like an ordinary lotion.


Brand:NIVEA
1) My Silhoutte

- rich creamy consistency, easy to spread and blends into skin


2) Good-Bye Cellulite

- thick sticky consistency that makes it difficult to spread into skin


Does it work? NO. It just works like an ordinary lotion, tends to provide moisture on skin.


Upon trying 348632452342 slimming products, none of them really works! I guess I have to save more money, I mean like hella money for me to try out some non-surgical weight loss treatment….Any recommendations?

  2. I never really thought such products would work. I'll just cut down on carbs and soda since I am on diet mode as well. :P

  3. I haven't seen your body yet but based on your face pictures, I think you're not fat? You're even skinny! Idk, it's imo only. ;) But whoa~ there's a lot you got there! Fail adverts indeed.

    I also am conscious about my body but I love eating as well! But there are really times that I get sad that I have these massive arms with me, I end up eating only once a day.And I think it's really risky and unhealthy. I am now trying to eat more veggies and fruits instead of the ever sparkling meat and fried foods. LOL It's hard to resist but it's all worth it!

    I also cut down my rice intake and I don't drink soda. And I think it does well too.

    Don't be too hard on yourself, I was once anorexic and it was the worst thing that ever happened to me.

    Good luck Janet! ^^

  4. My boyfriend bought me a spa trip, it's on the 15th. I called in and paid extra for a slimming body wrap. I'll write about it in my blog when it happens, but i'll also message you to let you know how it goes! I hear it can really work!

    I plan on swimming a lot this summer as it always slims me down. I just have to get over being slightly embarrassed to be in a swimsuit.

    I think we're all conscious about our bodies. Even if we're told we're beautiful we look at ourselves so often that we see our every imperfection. I feel the same way about my arms as Hercy. I even bought a shake weight. (For the record, it is working...but it looks ridiculous!)

    Janet, I think you're beautiful!

  6. yes you can try RF or lipocav go to dermaesthetique (wait for deals - ensogo, metrodeal, etc). btw etude house hot slim pack works. maybe the problem is your metabolism. you can also try slimming teas
