Fat Girl Slim uses caffeine for its cellulite-reducing properties; for this Fat Girl Slim can be applauded. However, while caffeine is an effective anti-cellulite ingredient, it must be used with the proper combination of supporting ingredients, and this is where Fat Girl Slim fails. Additionally, Fat Girl Slim purports using a proprietary technology called QuSomes to deliver the ingredients into the skin but they do not reveal what QuSomes are or how they work. We found that QuSomes are really just a low-cost alternative to delivering cosmetic ingredients and low cost usually equates to inferior. Consumers will not find the ingredients they should find in an effective high-quality cellulite cream.

• Methylisothiazolinone – a strong antimicrobial agent recently linked to brain damage
• Butylene glycol – a solvent that may cause liver damage
• Caprylic triglycerides – a fat used to make biodiesel and is linked to heart disease and blood pressure
• Bupleurum falcatum root extract – used as a liver tonic in ancient Chinese medicine
• Sodium benzoate – a preservative in some cough syrups that may cause cancer when combined with
• vitamin C
• PEG-12 distearate – used in some products for damaged skin but its use is restricted because it is often
• contaminated and may cause organ toxicity
• Coenzyme A – assists in transferring fatty acids within cells but no evidence supports its absorption through
• the skin.

Conclusion:

The research behind QuSomes is sketchy and Fat Girl Slim offers no additional information on how this delivery system works. Fat Girl Slim does not take advantage of any of the other powerful and proven ingredients found in other similar cellulite removal creams. While the caffeine in Fat Girl Slim had some effect, it was minimal and the cream had too many chemical additives for our liking. There are more effective products out there that have been tested and contain the essential proven ingredients that have shown their ability to completely eliminate cellulite for good. It would be far wiser for consumers to spend their hard earned money on a product that do not pose the health risks that Fat Girl slim does and can live up to all of it's promises.
