Pink Patch
This little sticker can potentially provide weight loss.
BACKGROUND
First there were patches to help you quit smoking, then birth control, and now there is a patch for losing weight. Created for women trying to lose those last five pounds, the Pink Patch is a substance-infused sticker that you slap on once a day to curb your appetite. The ingredients, which seep into the skin, are intended to control your appetite for 24 hours while revving up your metabolism, curbing your appetite, boosting your energy and elevating your mood. Pink Patch is the newest product from Curb Your Cravings, responsible for the Hoodia patch.
The Pink Patch is marketed toward girls and women in their teens and early twenties. You are expected to lose approximately one to three pounds each week.
The suggested use for the Pink Patch is to stick one patch on your skin in the morning and leave it on throughout the entire day. You are encouraged to drink a lot of water, avoid alcohol and limit caffeine to only a cup per day while you are wearing the Pink Patch.
PRO
- The Pink Patch may be able to help you lose weight
- Pink Patch does not cite any side effects
CON
- No FDA approval or evaluation of the supposed and intended results of the Pink Patch
- No scientific or medical claims to support the Pink Patch claims
- It targets young women whose bodies might be more vulnerable to the unregulated and synthesized ingredients contained in the Pink Patch.
- Does not include any guidelines for how to maintain a healthy weight once the young woman stops wearing the patch.
- It encourages young women to be skinny and to do introduce potentially harmful substances into their bodies in order to achieve their dream bodies
INGREDIENTS
The Pink Patch contains, Fucus Vesiculosus , a type of seaweed, used in holistic medicine to reduce excess weight by increasing metabolism. It also contains yerba mate, a South American stimulant and hunger suppressor and lecithin, an emulsifier that is claimed to re-proportion your body weight. The ingredients in the Pink Patch are absorbed into the skin and are time released throughout the day.
DIET and EXERCISE
Even though there is no formal diet or exercise plan you should follow while wearing the Pink Patch, you are encouraged to eat a low-fat and low-calorie diet and exercise in order to be see the intended weight loss results.
CONCLUSION
The Pink Patch is a dietary supplement that has not been approved or evaluated by the FDA, therefore its effectiveness and safety cannot be validated. Also, be warned of any supplement that claims to shed pounds by simply putting a sticker on your arm. Moreover, since this product is targeted specifically to young women, it promotes the pressure for women to be skinny by doing whatever they can to achieve their perfect body even if that means taking a product that is unregulated and potentially harmful. As with any new drug or supplement, consult with your medical doctor before taking the Pink Patch.

HI IM 19 AND SIZE 12. FIRST OF ALL TO EVERYONE A BIT OF ADVICE, DO WHAT I DID: GO TO THE SITE AND FIRST READ ABOUT IT, IT SAYS YOU GET A FREE TRIAL ,WELL YOU DONT BECOZ THEY SEND YOU A MONTH SUPPLY WITHIN 14 DAYS IF YOU DONT CANCEL. IF YOU WANT TO TRY IT I DONT THINK A WEK IS LONG ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY. I WENT ON EBAY!! YES EBAY AND I GOT TWO MONTH SUPPLY AND WON THE BID FOR JUST £8! FREE POST AND PACKAGING AND THEY ARE THE RAL PATCHES. I AM ON DAY ONE OF THE PATCH AND IVE HAD NO HUNGER PAINS AND I FEEL A LOT MORE ENERGY FOR SOME REASON, IT CANT HURT YOU SO GIVE IT A TRY AND REMEMBER DONT ORDER OFF THE SITE!!!
Hello. So one of my best friends is on the patch and I can definitely tell she is losing wait. Seeing this, I ordered my free trial today. Unfortunately I didn't see these reviews until after I gave my credit card information. I sent an e-mail to customer service saying I did not want to charged for anything after the free trial. I got a response saying my monthly autoship program was canceled. For the other people who received this e-mail a while ago, Is it actually cancelled?!?!?!?! I also tried calling the number to cancel, but got the same recording over and over again. I sat on the phone for about 5 minutes and gave up. Should I have waited later! Is there anybody who had the same experience that can help me out?!?!
Hello to all happy and angry users! I have questions for both of you. After seeing my best friend lose wait on the Pink Patch, I decided to give it a try. After I signed up for the free trial and gave my credit card information, like many of you, I did not read the fine print and I am worried about being billed more than the $2.95. So I e-mailed the company requesting to be removed from the monthly plan. Shortly, I received a confirmation e-mail stating that my plan had been cancelled. My question is, for the people that also received a confirmation e-mail, Was it Actual canceled?!?!?! After trying to call the customer service number and never getting to talk to anyone, I am becoming worried. This company seems very sketchy and I would just like to hear from someone else that they successfully canceled their membership. Thanks Ladies!
Hi all! I ordered the pink patch months ago, but I am still hesitant to use it. I called the customer service to ask them general questions like will this have any bad side effects, will it act against my birth control, will it make my metabolism slow down after I used it ect...The lady I talked to was sooo stupid? She had no idea about anything, she barely spoke english. I am going to Florida in Jan. and I want to lose about 4-5 lbs. I am very athletic, but I never lose any weight, I am going to try it for the first week and then just stop. People that are saying that you should not use the patch long-term are probably right. Good luck to those of you who are trying it.
Didnt work for me....such a con!!
Hi. I am on day 2 of the trial, and not once had my usual junk food cravings. I cancelled the trial period yesterday by phone - i got the details from the website (contact us) and called gave my name and address and they said it was all cancelled. I have also found the patches cheaper on eBay at half the price!!! I would definately say to give it go - i feel great, not tired one bit and i havent been hungry all day like usual. I dont know if i have lost weight yet as i am waiting for the week to finish to see but i do feel better in myself - now whether that is just in my head or not who knows but i feel good! :-) I am going to ring and email to make sure mine is cancelled after reading the comment from ScentsAside. Hope this helps...
hi there. i just ordered the free trial. n was wunderin y i havnt got a email sayin its been ordered im worried cos it sed u shud follow instructions of that to cancel it so i dnt recieve it every month. do u get the email straight away or wen u recieve the product? help lol x
This is an outrageous con! You send for a free trial and agree to terms which research proves nobody reads. These conditions state they will charge you for it every month until you cancel. However, they don't give you details of how to cancel. When you do find their phone number and cancel it, they ignore the first phone call so you pay for another month. I haven't lost any weight on it.
ive used the pink patch for exactly one week now and icve already lost half a stone i get a rsh from it but it is worth it and i will recommend it to everyone i no :D and im very happy with the results so far
I got two trials lasted for 12 days, had absolutely no weight loss despite the diet and exercise routine started at the same time. instead, the patch creates itchy skin as it stops it breathing in this very hot summer! MORE, there is a catch, when you order the free trial you agree to sign in as a member which means a 30-day supply will be shipped 14 days after your trial supply has been shipped and 35.95 (plus P&P) will be billed to the credit card you provided!
I sent away for the week's trial. Only felt it working on the 2nd day. My energy levels did go up ALOT. I drink alot of water, plus I'm sweating alot. I have lost 6lbs in 6 days & yes I am encouraged to try another month just to see what happens. I admit I'm on the Coffeeslender too, which I started 2 days b4 the Pink Patches...however, I believe weightloss due 2 the Pinks.
Stop wasting your money and go buy them from healthrack they only cost £9.99 and they dont make the stupid over the top claims that the other site does. They also have a dedicated site where they sell a variety of trans-dermal patches from with proper info on how they work. And LOCKS obviously does NOT know much about how they work!
DO NOT USE. ONCE YOU STOP TAKING IT YOU WILL PUT YOUR WEIGHT BACK ON AGAIN. PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY..
STAY AWAY FROM THIS DIET. ALL THIS DIET DOES - MAKES YOUR WALET SLIMMER!!! EWEN WHEN YOU CANCEL IT BY E - MAIL, THEY STILL CHARGE YOU AND SEND YOU THIS CRAP!! £ 40.00 JUST WENT DOWN THE TOILET. I AM MAKING OFICIAL COMPLAINT EARLY IN THE MORNING1
I started with my free trial 4 days ago and what you must know is that is very subtle. You don't feel like you are on an appetite suppressant where you can feel the chemicals in your body, so you don't actually notice them working. First two days I was sceptical as I didn't notice any appetite reduction and I was still eating like a horse but third day I began noticing a difference to the way I was eating, I was eating a lot slower, putting my food to the side and then eating a bit more, normally I wolf my food down because I was so hungry. I feel really positive about eating healthily now and have been making chicken salads for work and bringing portion-controlled cereal to work too and fruit to snack on and so far so good. At least I still feel hungry at meal times so I don't think its messing with my system too much, I just feel fuller quicker and am not that bothered about eating more after I am full (normally I can force the food into me even if i am full). I have been weeing a lot more and drinking more fluids as a result when normally I struggle to drink a lot of water during the day even though i know I should be so even that has improved, I also feel because of it I have lost my water retention. I have lots of energy, feel happy and positive and I don't care if its psychosematic, it works for me and I am delighted, I am definitely going to stick with it for a while , see what happens I say give it a try and don't be too sceptical in the first few days as like with me it may take a few days to kick start. I weighed myself the day I started with them and then again today and I have already lost a kilo and I would say by the time my free trial is up I would have dropped another half to one kilo. I excercise regularly too so I think this is important and I only want to lose about 3 kilos in total and always struggled to shift them, so this is the easiest way to shift those last few kilos/pounds that I have ever tried. Don't knock it till you've tried it :-)
Do you send to British Columbia, Canada
POINT BLANK A LOAD OFF BULL MONEY MAKIN SCAM IT WAS ON THE REAL HUSTLE ITS A PLASEBO
I am on day 3, so far I haven't lost anything, but I don't get hunger pains anymore. Can't say anything for energy as I have been staying up since 5:30 am...due to hubby going to work earlier for a few weeks......and am really tired by mid afternoon, but will keep all informed. Just happy that I don't get early morning hunger pains anymore as they make me sick when I get up too early and then I can't eat.
I haven't lost anything but the hunger pains these 6 days. And no increased energy. Will buy the 48 hour holly wood diet now as I know that works.
