I've noticed a new fad in body care over the last while: products that aim (or claim) to tone up wobbly upper arms. Soap & Glory's The Firminator is one such launch, and the new-to-Ireland-from-Poland Irena Eris brand is adding to the competition with its Tricellux Complex.
While I am willing to accept that the new generation of anti-cellulite and fat-busting ingredients actually do have some merits in that they can help to improve blood circulation, bringing fresh blood up under the skin, thus helping to drain toxins from orange peel thighs, or promoting a heated effect to speed up the metabolism and burn fat, they won't fix serious problems. They will not reduce thigh circumference by inches; they will not transform cottage cheese legs into model-smooth pins all on their own.
If we're to believe the claims for Tricellux Complex, it's capable, apparently, of providing the same results as surgery, transforming flabby skin into toned biceps. Sweet almond extract firms and tones skin, something called Proslimigen Perfect technology slims arms, and CoffeePro Arabica stimulates microcirculation and helps prevent fat tissue forming in the arm. Clinical trials support these claims, but unless I got a look at those trials, how they were conducted and the actual results, I'd reserve judgement.

Using this product, I have no doubt, will give you lovely moisturised arms that might well look and feel better, and they may well even appear sleeker and less bumpy too - but 'bingo wings be gone' is not something that ANY cream, regardless of price, is currently capable of. Especially not for €32, from chemists nationwide.
