You guys want to do it right. The good news is that it’s almost impossible to do it wrong. The most important thing is to not rub it in to start. You want the products to sit on the surface of the skin to access the mostly invisible hair follicles that lead to the dermal fat cells. With the cream you can rub what remains after 10-15 minutes because the oils will help the keratinocytes on the surface of the skin produce a glow. With the gel you can just leave the rest to protect your skin. Please ask your questions here and we will answer and pin this post for future reference. We are also going to do a live this week focused on just this topic.
What does contour uniformity mean?
The face can be defined by its major arcs.
Number 1 is the under eye arc.
Number 2 is the cheek arc.
Number 3 is the mouth arc.
Number 4 is the jawline arc.
These arcs should be strong and complete. Without indentations or bulges.
That's what we associate with "youth" but it's really not a function of age, but of dermal fat cell fitness.
When the skin's fat cells are toned and regenerating, the arcs of the skin are taut.
So next time when someone asks you "What is Adipeau for?" You can answer "Contour uniformity." And when they look at you strangely, you can say "Tight curves."
Hope that makes sense. Let me know if you have questions.
Contour uniformity defines a healthy looking face. The major curves of the face are strong and full and the face looks integrated. These images were sent to us by someone who used the gel for 3 months. The lighting is far from comparable. The expression and angle of the face are ideal.
Yes, some ingredients are anti-regenerative. They block deep regeneration in the skin. You will find 4 of these ingredients in common "cellulite" creams. They are intended to reduce fat cell size. But they also reduce fat cell regeneration. It's our hypothesis that the 2nd part is what makes them ineffective for improvement in the appearance of cellulite. Ultimately, if you reduce fat cell regeneration, existing cells become bloated, inflamed and weak dimply skin ensues. We've updated the "How to's" on our website significantly. Please take a look at /how-to-use.
This was a great conversation with lots of good questions at the end.
The key messages are:
1) Gua sha is impacting the deeper structures in the face and body
2) The main contribution that the aesthetician brings to the client is identifying how mis-alignment in the underlying structures are manifesting as “aging” in the face
3) She or he then creates a gua sha plan to address the misalignment, with the client performing important work at home
4) At the trainings, Clive teaches practitioners how to see through the lens of gua sha so that they can develop the treatment plans. — NYC class is May 18 -21. Please dm either Clive or us for special discount and gift Adipeau.
5) Clive is developing personal gua sha plans for 5 members of our Adipeau non-responder cohort . I am super excited by this!

Still glowing from our immersive evening of functional skincare at @ondabeauty with @getfacefit__ including a much anticipated masterclass by founder @oliviaszmidt who led us through myofascial release, a fascia based technique that restores health to the skin through the connective tissue system. A highlight of the evening was our panel led by @daisebedolla of Into The Gloss, featuring a conversation by the three founders on nervous system health, the evolution of how we can use AI to debunk clinical trials and how to measure truly results driven skincare. Thank you @ondabeauty@oliviaszmidt@daisebedolla and @dimmockkate for creating a truly special evening with us ✨
We’d love to hear from our community if you want more functional skincare immersions! We're dedicated to exploring all aspects of true skin health and want to hear about your journeys of discovering what's given you real results.
Morning rituals.
I have been using the @pulsetto.tech device for vagus nerve stimulation for two months. For stress and for sleep. My wife and son are also using the pulsettos. And it’s helping.
I am also thinking of offering the pulsettos to the Adipeau community at a membership rate.
It’s part of a larger initiative to address the stress aspects of skin health.
Please comment “stress” and I will send you details.
Tomorrow morning Clive Witham and I are going to be speaking about how gua sha can help with weak and hollow skin. Clive is a true pioneer of gua sha and it's been my privilege to get to know him over the last three years. Clive is developing a special protocol for post-weight loss skin that we will be discussing tomorrow. He is also coming to NYC next month to teach gua sha (May 18-21) and there will be an opportunity to get a discounted rate on this fantastic course for aestheticians who work with us.
"These are my results from using the Strength Gel for one month, to tighten loose skin on my abdomen from my massive weight loss of 100 lbs. I am disabled due to a genetic health disorder called Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) which causes malformations in collagen structure. This makes connective tissue weak, causing joints to become unstable which results in many soft tissue, joint and nerve injuries over time. Due to this I have been disabled for many years. I am unable to exercise due to my chronic pain, and as a result, over the years I had gained 100 lbs from being extremely sedentary, as well as from medication side effects.
My weight gain was putting more stress on my joints and also caused me to develop insulin resistance, so in 2024 I was put on Metformin. Over the next year I lost 25 lbs, but then my weight loss stalled. So in March of 2025 my doctors switched me to the injectable GLP weight loss medication Zepbound. Over the next 9 months I lost an additional 75 lbs, accomplishing my goal of losing a total of 100 lbs. I am now 5'6" and 141 lbs, which is in the healthy range for my height. While I was thrilled with my weight loss results, it did cause loose and crepey skin in many areas of my body, as well as volume loss in certain areas of my face. So to complete my body transformation, I began looking for solutions to tighten my skin. This is how I found Adipeau.
I was intrigued by the possibility of skin tightening, but unsure if it would work on my skin, since people with hEDS have altered collagen formation, which causes our skin to be thinner and weaker than normal. But to my surprise, after only one month of using the Strength Gel on my abdomen, I have seen significant tightening of my skin and reduced creepiness; particularly in my lower abdomen.
I use about a quarter sized amount of the Strength Gel on clean skin both morning and night.. I have not used any other products in this area, the results are all Adipeau. I am shocked and very pleased by my results! I already feel so much better and more confident in my new body, and I can't wait to see how much more my skin tightens over time! I am an Adipeau lover for life."
