Actiderm do wrap kits for £36.50. You can get 6 to 8 wraps out of a kit dependant on the area you wish to reduce. These kits are 100% natural marine based products that definitely lose you fat permanently! :-)

Are you a consultant for Actiderm? What is your personal experience of using the wraps? Thanks

I read all of these comments and am dishearted - those with difficulties with the products should be getting guideance from their distributor. Someone to coach them through how it really works, what to expect, what not to expect, etc... The body work in different ways for different people. This is not a pitch but, biological fact. For those who aren't "believer's" in this proven system are going to carry on and feel negative about it. That's their perogative. Those that are open to learning about and understanding the product and not letting someone else's experience determine their own path or power of choice are the ones who are going to have great success with the products. Why? Simply because they will go for it and try. Just like a workout regiment, anything to do with body takes time, and maintenance. The difference between those looking for a quick fix and a life-time change of benefits is that one will succeed and one will not. If you have had a negative experience but, want to turn it around and see how these products really can work for you, message me. I would like the opporunity to guide you through the transformation. First - STOP FOCUSING ON INCH LOSS. This is not what the product was designed for. Take before and after pictures of and for yourself - the only true way to see the difference and be able to say with 100% certainty what the visually, physical results were. If we want "proof" and pictures to show us then, we must start taking pictures :) I have guided people thorugh this journey and to great success. The greatest gift is to see them feel happy, comfortable and confident in their own skin. There is no greater experience to me than being a part of someone's self-belief and confidence. This career for me is about more than just the amazing products. The self-growth and development is amazing. I get to coach people through developing themselves and finding and believing in their light.

Your absolutely right. I have put my info out there to help people but nobody has ever contacted me. I am a distributor. I became a distributor because I saw the results before my eyes on myself and other people. The products work really well. Every body is very different!!

Elaborate please. Have you tried it?

Here is my info as to how I use the products with almost no result: I do a wrap every Sunday. I just did my fifth weekly wrap on my stomach. I measure myself in three places. After the third week I lost one inch. I am 5' 10" and weigh 175 lbs. I drink at minimum 100 ounces of water per day the day I wrap and the two days after. I take 2 fat burners with my dinner. I put the gel on every morning after i get my shower. I never go to the gym the day I wrap. I put my wrap on early Sunday and leave it on anywhere from 2-6 hours. I do not shower until Monday morning. My distributor says drink more water and wrap more. I think I am already doing a good bit not to have any result. I am not bashing the products. I see they work excellent for some people and others not so much. I knew this going in, it was a chance I was willing to take. I will continue to at least wrap for 8 more Sundays to finish out my contract.

It is recommened to drink heaps of water before, during and after the wrap. It is also recommended to leave it on overnight. Will lack of water consumption while sleeping affect the toxin removal?

I have been researching what the difference is between itworks wraps and the Natural Sculpting wraps. They bothy have similar ingredients however NSW have more realistic before and after photo's - itworks have more photo's of distributor's making diamond level than realistic before and after photo's. Itworks are cheaper to purchase especially at a distributor price - itworks is a network marketing business....NSW have none of that. I am glad I googled this forum and read the responses. It seems there are more negative reviews than positive ones, and although itworks are cheaper and have a business option, I am more into seeing results rather than making money off them. I do not want to be associated with wraps that only work for some people and not for most (as most of the comments people have here - the wraps did not work). Thank you for allowing all responses to be posted here - I commend you for that :)....I do think however I will be ordering from NSW thank you :)

I'm interested in trying.... to see if it works for me. However; I too wanted to see what people had to say and if it worked for them. Just interested in something to get me jump started. the itWorks was cheap enough to want to try. I honestly, do not want to throw my hard earned money away. Were you able to find a comparable solution to a body wrap? Did you try anything else? And i agree with you on the "realistic photos". Some pics just seem to be taken at a different angle. Or one pic taken with the stomach pooched out and the elastic band sitting differently on the waist. Just curious. I'm still researching.

You should not wear it for longer than approximately 45 minutes for your first wrap, after that you can wear it as long as you desire including sleeping in it. They say this because you never know how you will react to prolonged use the first time.

Actually went and got this done at a lady who promotes it in sydney. She was a sweetheart told me all about her clients sudden miracle weight loss and it didnt work for me. was totally bummed.

The cream itself didnt absorb - im not morbit obese or anything have a personal trainer etc but in the last few weeks alone have been caught up with work so much i needed the motivation and turned to this. maybe it works for some people, just not for me.

back to the gym - teach me to try and take a short cut for a flat stomach.

Hi guys,

Just wanted to give a reminder that soliciting within the community (ie posting your email address, website, etc) is not allowed within the community, as it violates our community guidelines

You are welcome to share any general information about the wraps that you would like, but we do need to ask that you refrain from posts that are an attempt to gain business. Repeated postings of this nature can lead to being blocked from the community, and we prefer that not to be the case for anyone. We want RealSelf to be a place to discuss products and gather information, and if left unchecked the solicitation posts can overrun the informative ones, making the entire thread much less helpful to those seeking information.

If you have any questions about this you are welcome to send me a private message, or you can contact our Community Support Center at anytime by clicking on the "Help" tab at the bottom of each page.

From ItWorks-That does happen in some people, but it will go down, it’s known as the toxic swell, as the Ultimate Applicator ingredients absorb into the skin and toxins are being penetrated. We often hear that people who had some bloating after applicating are the people who end up seeing the best results. Continue to drink the water (half of your body weight in ounces) to move the toxins through the system. Dr. Don says that Regular can help eliminate toxins from the colon. I’ve also included some other things here to consider when using the Ultimate Applicator.

· Besides showering prior to use or washing the area with warm water, exfoliating prior to applying the applicators is helpful. Anything that may be on your skin that could interfere with absorption such as moisturizing soaps/body washes and lotions could be a problem. These products leave a film and may stop someone from seeing results, one solution is to use It Works Cleansing Gel or another natural soap.

· If using the ItWorks Toner, spray it on the area they are applicating and allow it to dry, this prepares the skin for maximum absorption.

· Be sure to wrap the same area for several applications before moving onto another area of the body and drink half of your body weight in ounces per day to help eliminate the toxins from your body.

· Some people have smaller pores then others and some people have thicker skin so it takes longer to see results, the absorption rate is not the same.

· Tanning (Sunbathing/Tanning Beds/Sunless Tanning Products) can make skin extremely dry, thus making the ingredients in the applicator harder to penetrate through pores. Using Defining Gel twice a day for a week and then going back to using the Ultimate Applicators can help.

· Smoking can cause toxin buildups. Using Regular to rid the body of toxins in the colon can help to see better results with Ultimate Applicator .

· Sweating can interfere with ingredients from the Ultimate Applicator from being absorbed through the pores. This is why people should not exercise or do activity to make them sweat while using the Ultimate Applicator.

· Poor bowel elimination can cause excess buildup of toxins. Regular can help detox the colon.

· Excess Toxin Exposure (i.e. Salons/Dry Cleaners/Industrial Plants/Pest Control/etc.) can cause the buildup of toxins. Using Regular and the Ultimate Applicator consistently will help eliminate toxins.

· Avoid Soda Pop (both regular and diet) and Alcohol which have a lot of toxins due to the high sugar and artificial ingredients.

With use of the Ultimate Applicators, you are detoxing your body. I encourage you to continue detoxing because for many of us, it does take longer to see results. But, you will have to be diligent about it. Remember the Ultimate Applicator is continuing to work for 72 hours following application and for optimum results, try to wrap 72 hours apart as often as possible. Again, you may want to try adding the Defining Gel too, it can be used two to three times a day.

The first time I used a wrap was last summer. The second time was last Wednesday. My measurements pre-wrap were 30.5" (above navel), 33.5" (around navel), and 35.5" (below navel). When I measured immediately after removing the wrap, there was no difference at all. 48 hours after, I measured at 31", 33.5", and 36". 72 hours after, my measurements were 31.5", 34.5", and 36.5". Again, I drink 130 oz of water on a daily basis. I don't smoke, don't tan, and haven't had soda in three years. I exfoliated with sea salt and water prior to using the wrap, so there's no chance that a film was left on my skin. As far as using Regular and the Defining gel, I'm hesitant to buy any other itWorks products when the one I've used has performed so poorly.

I have just tried the wraps today, so obviously my results are not in. It's been 2 hours since I took the wraps off, and no change. At all. I'm also taking the Greens supplement. No lotion, no soap etc, lots of water. My comment is to address the claims that this product may have a hard time 'getting through small pores', and the like. I wear a medication dispensing patch, 24 hours a day, for over 2 years. Often, I don't wash the spot I place the patch, and am, quite literally, not fresh or clean. I change my patches before bathing. I find those claims to be a bit unsubstantiated and disingenuous, and largely excusing the product for its possible ineffectiveness. If my patch delivers my medicine through lotion, dirt, sweat, oil etc, and trust me, I'd know if it wasn't working, as I would become horribly sick within 8-12 hours, then the wraps certainly can't use this as a viable excuse for lack of results. Often, as I've read these reviews, I have to wonder if only the reps and sellers are placing the positive reviews. I'd like some more photographic proof; and not a far shot/close shot, as we've seen. Identical angle distancing, and no tricks. I'm just not fully convinced they're as 'miraculous' as they're made out to be. And I just spent over $200 on 3 boxes and supplements. Perhaps I've been fooled?
jcsauer 15 Sep 2012
no you have not been fooled..it does work..it takes time for your body to figure out how to get rid of the toxin in our body. keep watching it and keep drinking your water.
letacat 29 Apr 2013
What's the defining gel? What's in it exactly? Can I use something similar? Or all natural without buying that perticular one?
MeganK814 5 Aug 2012
I'm so disappointed in these wraps. I've used them twice and gained inches both times. I drink 130 oz of water a day, so I know I drank enough water. I measured right after I took the wrap off, 48 hours after and again at 72 hours after just like the instructions say to do and by the 72 hour mark I had gained a total of 5 inches the first time, and a total of 3 inches the second time. I don't eat junk food. I didn't eat a thing while I was wrapped. I exfoliated with a non-moisturizing scrub about an hour before I wrapped and didn't use any lotion. Each time I left the wrap on for three hours. I also took before and after pictures, and in the after pictures my stomach is SIGNIFICANTLY larger. What a waste of money!
tropicalparadise 5 Aug 2012
I have never seen anybody bloat and not lose the inches with the water flush. I am so serious. This is the first time i have heard of this. So, you have not gone down at all?? So, your waist gained 8 inches??
