In the beginning, I was using all popular products talked about on this forum. From massaging, using PM cream, taking 5 different herbs. All of which fell short because when I stopped doing those things relatively early on, my progress wasn't hindered. So, it ended up being the Noogle the entire time that was giving me success. Ok, I'm not saying that these things don't work...don't get me wrong here, there are tons of people who these things DO work for. I just happen to be the one that it doesn't work for. It's ok, saves me big $$$ in products.
All I use lotion wise is either Nivia body firming lotion with CoQ 10 OR I use a thick coco butter cream. Personally I like the coco butter better than the Nivia, but again, personal preference.
I've been lazy lately and ran outa the coco butter and been using my Nivia instead. And to even my skin tone, I use CVS BB Cream on my chest and sholders to make everything have a nice tan glow.
