Or am I just being duped by good advertising ? I’d love to get rid of my double chin.

I came on to ask the same thing. Those on FB who recommend them have a max of 12 friends and very low usage FB accounts. Maybe this will bump your post up so you get a response?

Utter scam. How do you think they work?

This is what I thought. I looked (because I have a horrific triple chin) but the before and after pictures just made me think that surgery was involved because there was NO WAY that a chin-sling could make that amount of difference. It can't burn fat and it can't tone muscle so...sadly, scam.

Photoshop/editing, lighting & camera angles. Before and afters are literally the least reliable method of measuring efficacy. They are so easy to fake.

As you say, the only thing that will truly completely remove a double chin is surgery. The hammock is just light compression. At best, it's just going to temporarily push excess fluid out of the tissues which would reduce a little bit of superficial puffiness.

<nods sadly> and what I have goes waaaaay beyond 'a little bit of superficial puffiness.

Hmmm thanks for the replies. I think I was tempted to believe they could work with all the minerals Confused

Does chronology work - those who have used it?

But then look at this. I thought trust pilot was the one to trust?

Trustpilot is useful but there are many fake reviews added by some sellers. Read the negative reviews first . They say the masks don’t work and returns are not honoured.

As far as i am aware having done some research - there is no Chinology registered in the UK. It looks like it's a Chinese company.
I am in the process of asking for a refund. Not only were the masks too small but the gel actually made my face sting, and i don't mean things in a nice way. There is something very amiss with this company. There are no ingredients listed on the packet or the individual sachets. The instructions are by no means clear.
There is no company address to be found on the product nor on their UK alleged website ( a legal requirement i believe !), their website appears to be generated in Ireland which may get them around certain laws. My concern is that if there is no real UK company, Trading Standards will not be able to do anything.
Does anyone have any thoughts ?

Oh wow that’s not good.

Hi again, The Chinolgy sage continues and it's not good. Done some more research - this company is using an import hub from China to Rancho Cucamango in the USA ( its an "import" hub). Chinology UK, have given me this address In 9208 Charles Smith Ave, Ranch Cucamango to return the product and offered a 50% refund. i would also have to pay to send it to the USA. Looking at various other sites linked to these companies, i doubt i will get a refund. I accept i was stupid to order without checking for ingredients and the address of the company etc and have t accept the loss of almost £60. My main concern is the lack of ingredients mentioned about this product and is it safe ? It didn't feel good on my skin.

If anyone is interested there's info out there about how they get there reviews and ratings and then there is this about import hub. It's scary to see how much money some people have been scammed out of quite considerable amounts of money.
Here is just one link i found:-
https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/rancho-cucamonga/profile/drop-shipper-mailing-services/jerry-001-yasfbara-1126-850109888
BBB Rating F
Reasons for rating:
Failure to respond to 29 complaint(s) filed against business 10 complaint(s) filed against business that were not resolved 98 complaint(s) filed against business
Given that the real company is in China, that they are mporting in the USA and call themselves " Chinology UK" does anyone know if and to whom i can make a complaint or investigated as there is something very wrong here and it could be dangerous.
