Anyone here ever had any success with topical creams to help spot reduce troublesome spots.  Think it's worth trying?

That's what I was thinking but couldn't the Yohimbe HCL be helpful if it actually was absorbed through the skin?

I'd doubt it. There's a 98.75% chance you'll be pissing your money away.

well...imo its a great ingredient listing... but what dependsis what they are using for a transdermal... i dont think its anything too great.. so your probably get like 10-20% absorbtion..maybe...   well, you could rub it on your nutsack aqnd get musc better abosrbtion... but ... "spot reducing fat on your johnson"...hmm... lol

I think those kind of products are supposed to be most effective pre-contest/pre-photo shoot, when you're already very lean and just need to look a little tighter.

Agreed. If you're 10+% body fat it won't make any difference. However, it may discolor your skin...not sure if you're after that though.

avantlabs is the best company on the market for the most part and has the most intelligent and educated product creators.

Naplam is great, lipoultra is good as well. it does work better if you are leaner however.

phenogen was great, traquil g was good as well.

synthesize is great or theSIZE.

HEAT was a top notch mood elevator and stimulant. I like most of what they put out however they are not into developing products much anymore and started the whole transdermal shit.

yohimbe can be absorbed through the skin, and there MIGHT be a very SMALL local effect, but other than that no...

BUT yohimbe has alot higher bioavailability if absorbed transdermally compared to oral

All the topical rubs are junk... A very small percentage absorbs into the skin!! It does burn though.. Put some on a toilet seat and my bro sat on it... Very similar to icy hot!!!!
