It depends. If the obstacle to a thin waist is fat accumulation, yes (but they work very subtly and need to be combined with diet and exercise).

There are actives with high performance in efficacy and clinically proven in laboratories that are present in body creams that reduce resistant fat in the abdominal region and help remodel the silhouette.

This thermogenic dermocosmetic technology is responsible for burning and greater effectiveness in reducing waist measurements. They are actives developed from reducing lipolytic extracts that also improve skin firmness, shaping the waist even more.

I cite here an asset that I call a gold medal in this case: the Cafeisilane C, active bionanotechnological origin that associates pure caffeine to the silanol molecule (biologically active silicon). With a high power of cutaneous permeation, it acts in depth on the adipose cells, stimulating lipolysis and promoting tissue restructuring and skin firmness, increasing the bioavailability of caffeine in the tissue. It also acts on the dermis, stimulating fibroblasts for the synthesis of collagen, elastin and other components of the extracellular matrix, causing increased skin firmness for greater waist shaping.

We can also quote the Bitter Orange Extract, which contains synephrine, an alkaloid with thermogenic effects.

Besides the L-Carnitine, what is an amino acid with an essential function in the metabolism of fats.
