Loose skin

[brandimichellexo 63]

Is anyone using any firming cream or lotion for loose skin? If so, what is the best? They’re are so many options and some are quite expensive. Of course, money isn’t much of a concern if it’ll actually help. Thanks in advance ☺️

I don't know how much weight you have to lose, but if its a lot I doubt a lotion or cream is going to help it retract as you lose weight. It may help with the look of some of the stretch marks.

It can take up to a couple of years for skin to retract as much as it is likely to, and that depends on many things - age, weight lost, history of yoyo dieting/big weight losses/gains, genetics, environment.

Look to the most expensive cream/lotion you were going to buy and starting putting that money away into a savings account (maybe once or twice a month), at the end of a year or more you will have some funds for new clothes or the beginning of a savings account for skin removal (if it is needed).

I have to lose a lot of weight. About 150 lbs. I’m 24 (as of yesterday) though so maybe age will be on my side. Fingers crossed

Oddly, I've lost about 150 lbs so far since last year, and I haven't had any loose skin issues. I still have 100 lbs. to lose, but this seems promising. I'm 32.

I went from 370 down to 183 at my lowest... currently sitting between 185 - 190 at 18% body fat. I have minimal issues with skin, sure there is some extra, and I hate how it looks, but it hides very easily. I've got other photos in my profile that highlight the changes. But at the end of the day, it's going to be 100% personal, everyone's skin is different, where they carried their weight, how their skin reacted to the weight etc etc etc.
