The metrosexual does not wish to be seen covered in body hair and looks for ways to reduce it without resorting
to waxing and other forms of human torture. ARP 100, Greentech, is an aqueous-alcoholic solution of Serenoa
repens fruit extract, Epilobium roseum extract and Cucurbita pepo seed extract, which is said to inhibit hair
growth. Depiline, Sederma, is also claimed to reduce hair growth by slowing the mitosis rate of the
keratinocytes of the hair bulb.
And finally: Silab suggest Actiflow; INCI: Saccharomyces cerevisiae extract to reduce dark circles under eyes
and to improve the appearance when hung-over and those buttocks firming gels? There are many firming and
slimming ingredients available and what works on a woman’s thighs should work on the male buttocks!
Suggested starting points are BodyFit, Sederma, based on glaucine, said to stimulate lipolysis by calcium flow
regulation, and Volufiline, also from Sederma, which is claimed to increase the formation of adipocytes tissue
to enhance the curves of breast, buttocks, hands or feet.
