Tummy tightening- does anything work?

Youngest DC is now 2, I've managed to lose all the 'baby weight' and am back in an 8/10 so it's not fat

If I stand really straight its bearable but as soon as I move my skin just looks really loose- has anyone had anything done that has worked?

I've tried bio oil & hifu, happy to spend £££ if there's something that works

Have you lost weight by dieting alone? Or have you been exercising?
I am using the weights machine in the gym to try and tackle this.

It’s inconclusive so far!

I haven’t tried it but saw a firming lotion recommended the other day by the body shop, it’s got good reviews so maybe worth a try!

Exercise probably 3/4 times a week- there are abs there but you have to pull the skin a bit tighter to see iyswim 🙈

Will try the body shop thing thank you

Has anyone tried dermaroller or similar?

Similar situation here, two DC’s, I’m a size 8/10, don’t want to loose anymore weight as I’ll start to look haggard and really don’t have much fat on my stomach. Abs are pretty strong and probably as good as they’re going to get but my lower stomach really bothers me, just won’t firm up and I actually think it looks worse now that I’ve lost weight and toned up more as it’s like the skin and fat that’s there has collapsed a bit iyswim?

I’ve tried loads of creams etc but no difference, I don’t think a cream can really make that much if a difference. There’s a treatment called Exilis that claims to tighten skin and reduce pockets of fat but it’s expensive and I’m trying to find some reviews saying it works that I can trust before trying it.
