Fad or For Real: The Rodial Tummy Tuck

Rodial Tummy Tuck
Today, I keep hearing about the Rodial Tummy Tuck. I hear it's some sort of magic cream that is supposed to flatten my stomach.
Dieting and exercising are not required, so I'm thinking I'll order some egg rolls while I slather this stuff on.
But then I see the price. At $130 for a small 4.2 oz bottle, I'm going to have to forget about egg rolls and do some crunches.
Supposedly, this stuff contains stomach flattening micro fibers that help slim and visibly tighten the abdominal area. According to the website, it's "clinically proven to reduce the abdominal area by up to 2 centimeters in 8 weeks."
Only 2 centimeters for $130? That's about the size of maybe two Tic Tacs. I am going to need a lot more than that.
Rodial Tummy Tuck contains a fig extract and neuropeptides that break down fatty cells and boost cell metabolism.
Someone, a "real" woman says there is a tightening effect within minutes. Rodial Tummy Tuck is available on one of my favorite fairyland beauty websites. Blissworld, which I could never afford, sells 3.4 oz for $145. They say, "Your choice: Drop $4000 on abdominoplasty, or do the twice-a-day with this spicy-scented gel."
Hmmm. I've always heard if something sounds too good to be true that it probably is.
Would you try it? Would you buy it? Could Rodial Tummy Tuck cream possibly work?

It probably tightens your skin up in one of either two ways: either by plumping up the skin or by sealing the pores, like peel off masks do.
Skin that's lost elasticity from things like losing weight or having a baby is akin to a rubberband that's worn out and stays big but won't stretch out anymore. The elastin in the skin is worn out. The only way of really firming is by plastic surgery. Even a zillion crunches will only build up muscle which can give a firmer appearance, but won't do a thing to your skin itself.
Great post tikigoddess! You rock!
Nope, Nope, and Nope.
haha well not to be gross or anything but hemmroid cream is cheaper and faster... its not permanent but slather some prep H on and wrap up in saran wrap before bed and you lose half an inch.... yeah I tried it.... I just felt stupid lol
Kristalee83, Can I write about that? That's a GREAT tip. Thank you. I've used Prep H to take the red out of a zit in a pinch, too. :)
no way would i spend that kind of money. i too need a lot more than 2 cms!

The only way I would try it is if it was given to me for free. No way would I pay that much for such a small amount of product. I assume that it is "too good to be true."
