Hydroquinone is an effective remedy for people battling with skin darkening and stubborn spots of any kind. Available in several brand names like Zo Melamin, Melalite forte, it contains hydroquinone as the primary ingredient for bleaching your skin and complexion correcting. It is clinically proven to lighten areas of darkened skin such as freckles, age spots, melasma (sun damage), or chloasma (darkened skin caused by hormonal changes). Though, it is proven for its efficiency, "Hydroquinone" still remains a controversial chemical when it comes to scientific research. It is still not clear what side effects it may cause with long term usage. As a topical treatment for lightening your skin, it is not recommended to be used by people with sensitive skin because it is bound to cause some irritation. Many safer alternatives are available in the market, which are gentle on skin, yet equally successful for facial skin lightening. We recommend Illuminatural 6i and SkinBright over Hydroquinone 4% creams like Zo melamin, Melalite forte etc.

SlimFast meal replacements don’t offer the nutritional benefits of whole foods — they can be ‘incomplete’, which in the long term can lead to vitamin or mineral deficiencies if unmonitored. And they don’t teach you how to create and follow a healthy diet or manage your eating habits once you stop using them. Overall, its effectiveness varies drastically depending on the user and what he or she wants from this. It can be a hit or miss. We recommend IdealShake and IdealPlan over this.

Metformin is a relatively safe drug with no major side effects that would help with insulin resistance and weight loss. For those who are seriously overweight metformin can be a useful tool to get the process started, but experts recommend that it should be discontinued as soon as the BMI has come below 35. A study a couple of years ago found that regular exercise and a low GI/GL diet were more effective than metformin anyway and without the nasty side effects. There are natural supplements like Chromium that also acts as blood sugar regulator and works similarly to Metformin, and in a much safe manner. If you are looking for metformin, specifically for weight loss, we recommend chromium supplements instead, like Phen375 and Instant Knockout. If you are diabetic, we recommend The Big Diabetes lie program.

‘Confidence Fitness Slim Full Body Vibration Platform’ is a smart product that uses the technique of whole body vibration (WBV) to provide you astounding health benefits. It is a perfect exercising equipment for people who want to become fit, but do not have ample spare time! WBV is a clinically proven therapy that this machine delivers to you, so that you get a toned and slim body. Many other health benefits that are off shoots of this regimen are also well documented. The product is easy to use, with no side effects (if used wisely) and many users bear testimony to its efficiency. Being very affordable, sturdy, well designed and efficient too, it is currently the most desired Vibration Machine in the market. Buy at best price.

Overall, Le-Vel Thrive weight loss patch is a medicore product at the price it's offered. Companies like Le-Vel & Thrive seem to be capitalizing on the popularity of natural ingredients as they release products that contain all natural ingredients like "green tea” or "Green coffee beans” instead of synthetic ingredients like some of what AdvoCare uses. But in this case it seems like they are just using their popularity to get people to buy a poor product. Moreover, the transdermal method isn't particularly more effective than taking these ingredients in pills form. Lack of sufficient quantity of "ingredients" is another issue. There are other products in the market that provide more diverse array of appetite suppressing and thermogenic ingredients, while offering better value for money. We recommend Phen375 and Instant Knockout over this.

An impressive variety in their product lineup but yet, the ingredients are nothing new or groundbreaking. There are other products in the market having same ingredients and that raises questions on the high price of Rodan and Fields products. Some users don't like the idea of going through a consultant to buy their products, many don't like the expansive cost and some people show skin reaction because of allergy to certain ingredients. Overall, user reviews are a mixed bag!

Overall, a decent carb and fat blocker, but all the ingredients used are currently at levels too low to have effects similar to what we've seen in the scholarly research on those ingredients. And they are charging a hefty price for this low quantity of ingredients. Combine this with the markeitng claim that you can eat whatever carbs you want to eat, and still NOT get fat, raises some serious question on the product. All users are different and certainly will experience different weight-loss results, but workout in combination with a healtier diet and supplements is a better approach. We recommend Instant Knockout and Phen375 over It works fat fighter. Instant Knockout has fat blocking ingredient glucomannan as well as other thermogenic ingredients, that makes it top of the line weight loss supplement. If you are specifically looking for fiber to lose weight, we recommend Smoothie Diet.

Flat Tummy Tea is yet another product amongst the heap of products in the market, that claim to help you detoxify and lose weight. What could be an easier deal rather than a beverage, for people who want to lose weight in a jiffy ! It helps you to cleanse, re energize and lose weight. Especially girls who hate the sluggish feeling and lethargy that keeps on hovering all day may grab a cup of this tea and feel the difference! Though proper exercise and healthy diet also needs to be incorporated to actually manifest weight loss. All herbal ingredients in this tea have anecdotal proof rather than being medically proven for their effectiveness and safety. This has similar benefits like all other teas, but what makes it different are added ingredients which help to ease digestion, cleanse your system, debloat it and support your metabolism. While moving down the aisle in a shopping store, you may pick up one pack if you are lazy enough not to spend much time and energy on rejuvenating your health. However, to become fit and feel good, you need to incorporate a HEALTHY DIET and to do this without compromising on your energy levels and demands of your taste buds, there are other products in the market, which are developed by experts and proven medically! We recommend Smoothie Diet over Flat tummy tea.

Despite very exciting and promising CLA animal studies, CLA pills have come up very short in delivering weight-loss results to humans. Besides, "eating more fat to lose fat" concept holds more true in the case of paleo based diets like Primal Diet, instead of a high-fat content diet pill like Ab Cuts. Their Sleek & Lean version containing Raspberry Ketones is slightly better, but still it's basically a 2700 mg proprietary blend of mediocre weight loss ingredients and the company is NOT transparent about the quantities of the ingredients used. User reviews on Ab Cuts are mixed and the products seem overpriced. We recommend Instant Knockout over this, that has a better combination of ingredients - fat blocker like glucomannan, and thermogenic ingredients. Instant Knockout is from a reputed company, lists out its ingredients in precise details, endorsed by several people from the fitness community and has lots of favorable user reviews. So, it beats Ab Cuts, in the area of transparency and credibility.
