Okay, so I caved and bought this 'fat burning' cream after seeing it all over my feed. Here's the real tea ☕️
First impression: STRONG menthol smell. Like, 'whoa did I just rub Vicks on my thighs?' level strong. Not unpleasant, but definitely noticeable during workouts.
The texture is nice though! Absorbs crazy fast - no sticky residue. My skin did feel smoother after a few uses, kinda like when you use a good moisturizer.
About that 'fat burning' claim... yeah no. I didn't magically lose inches. BUT it does give this interesting warming sensation that makes me *feel* like I'm working harder? Placebo effect maybe, but hey if it motivates me to push through those last few squats, I'll take it!
Pro tip: Don't apply right before bed unless you want minty fresh sheets. Learned that the hard way.
Final verdict: Nice moisturizer with a workout psychological boost ⚡️ Just don't expect miracles.
