Sponsored Review: 2B Into Arm & Body

Was really excited to be chosen to do a sponsored review for 2B Alternative Into Arm & Body slimming gel, especially after reading so many awesome reviews on them, be it on magazines, blogs or forums.

Imagine my excitement when I find 2 boxes of 100ml tubes in my package, and one tube is meant to last for 2 to 2.5 weeks! :)

As you can see from the packaging, Into Arm & Body targets flabby arms and tummy, using a new Heat Deep Penetrating formula activates EGF, HCA, Caffeine and Liporeductyl to reach our fat cells and then cut it fast by a high speed burning. This product also has a high 2Base (license by Germany and Japan) concentration, helping to tighten our skin and avoid cellulite after slimming down. There is no addition of chilli or ginger extract into this slimming gel, so there's absolutely no worries of skin irritation or prolong burning sensation left over on the hands after application. 2B also uses microwater molecule G2, which has smaller particles that are easily absorbed by our skin. The heat of the product goes into deep adipose layer for optimum results will not leave a sticky sheen after usage. 

With that short introduction, let's get on with the review of this product. 
Here's a series of my before pictures, showing my horrible flabby arms and fat tummy. :(
My stats were as follow:

Left arm - 27cm (yikes!)
Right arm - 26.5cm 
Upper waist (my slimmest part of the torso) - 73cm
Lower waist (right below my belly button, at my lower abdomen) - 83cm

The gel is really easy to use. Basically you just apply it to cleansed, dry skin and massage gently for 3 to 5 minutes, for best results, or until product has been absorbed fully by the skin. 

As you can see, it is a clear soft and rather watery gel and spreads across the skin effortlessly. The first minute or two after application will leave a sticky film on the surface of the skin, but after the product is fully absorbed, the skin feels fresh and comfortable with no sticky residue at all. 

After which, you will experience a warming sensation, which normally last for 10 to 15 minutes for my case. There's nothing to be worried about, as the warm sensation is mild and comfortable, not 'prickly' or 'spicy' at all. 

And after applying the gel diligently every night after my showers since 13/03 till now, let's see my results. 

You might not really see much from the upfront photo, but sideways you can see that my tummy muscles are more defined. 
Oh, I used to have abs from dance and pilates and laziness has allowed a thick layer of fats to accumulate on top of them. But do take note that I've coupled 2B with my usual toning exercises. I did not live my life as a couch potato and expecting the gel to do all the work. 

The arms results weren't as satisfying, as seen from the photos.

My stats were as follow:

Arms - no changes.
Upper Waist - 72.5cm
Lower Waist - 82.5cm

In just barely 2 weeks, I've experienced a 0.5cm reduction in my waistline! Those raves online weren't over nothing, obviously. Somehow, the results was not that surprising (as long as you expect this highly raved product to work) as it always seems to be the case that the tummy slims down much quicker and easier as compared to other problematic areas such as arms and thighs. Even though there's no slimming effect on my arms after 2 weeks, I did notice that my skin feels smoother to the touch, and hopefully by the end of 1 treatment (3 tubes) there will be visible results on my arms as well.

Till then,

  1. I have been using 2B Arm & Body too, I am also happy that it really helps to firm up my flabby arms. I love the warm sensation when I applied it on my tummy.

  2. I have just started using 2B Arm & Body 2 weeks ago since I bought it from Guardian during their promo. I achieved a 1cm lost on each of my flabby arms, still waiting to see the result on my tummy =)

  3. How long do you need to massage after you apply the gel? Is it must be after shower?

    1. 3 to 5 mins. But I usually stop once the gel is fully absorbed, which is at most 1 minute for me. Yes, for such products it best to apply on cleansed skin after showers.

  4. How long can 1 tube last? Do you need to apply a lot to have the burning sensation?
