It aids in skin penetration.

i'm liking the stuff so far.. im already used to the smell and i dont smell it anymore. i also doubt anyone else does...

def takes a while to really dry in good... so i put it on when i get out of the shower and just go about my business without a shirt on until i have to leave. if its still tacky when its time to go, i hit it with a hair dryer on cool for a few seconds.

i've also been sleeping with a t-shirt on so it doesn't get all up in my blankets.

even thought im exfoliating a bit with a washcloth before i apply it there is no burning & no skin irritation... nothing to complain about at all.

There can be some water retention from the Y-HCl in both Napalm and Lipo-U. Taking extra potassium can help to negate this effect.

It depends on your sodium and/or caffeine intake as well. I take 99mg, 3x/day in addition to eating foods high in potassium (e.g. bananas, yogurt, potatoes, etc).

Hmmm, your Na intake isn't very high, so you shouldn't have a huge problem with water retention.

If you wanted, you could rotate LipoDerm-Ultra in with Napalm. The caffeine in Lipo-U will help keep the water retention down.

GA can cause bloating, too.

But you don't even look bloated to me in those pics. Your belly button is a little more stretched out in the second set of pics, indicating fat loss around the waist.
