What's in the way

Why your hard work can stay hidden.

01

Subcutaneous fat

A layer that sits over the muscle you've built and softens its look.

02

Visible bloat

Day-to-day changes that blur definition.

03

Skin that hasn't caught up

After weight loss, skin can take time to look firm again.

Built around where you are

This isn't just for six-packs.

Most common

Training & cutting

You're in a deficit and training hard, and the last layer over your abs is the one that won't move. This is the scenario the formula was built for.

Start your routine

On a GLP-1?

The medication handles the appetite, not the shape.

GLP-1 medications can drive significant weight loss, but skin doesn't always keep up. Abs of Steel® is a cosmetic cream that helps your midsection look firmer while you keep training.*

Straight talk

What it does, what it doesn't.

Most creams promise things no topical can deliver. Abs of Steel® is designed to complement the work you're already doing.

What it does

What it doesn't

  • Work without consistent use

What people ask before they buy.

Does Abs of Steel® actually work?

Abs of Steel® contains 5% CoAxel™, the concentration evaluated in a 28-day supplier study using twice-daily application. It is designed to support the appearance of tighter, smoother and more defined skin with consistent use. It is not an overall weight-loss product and works best as part of a routine that includes training and balanced nutrition.

Can I use it while taking a GLP-1?

Abs of Steel® is a topical cosmetic rather than an ingestible supplement or medication. Speak with the healthcare provider managing your prescription if you have questions about adding a new topical product to your routine.

Why does it feel hot or tingly?

The heat-activated formula can create a warming or tingling sensation that varies from person to person. Wash the area and discontinue use if the sensation becomes uncomfortable or irritation develops.

Do I need to be lean already?

No. Abs of Steel® can support the appearance of firmer and smoother-looking skin at different stages of your journey. Your training, nutrition, body composition and consistency will influence the overall result.

How long should I use it?

The CoAxel™ supplier study evaluated twice-daily application for 28 days. Use it consistently and evaluate changes in how the treated area looks and feels over time. Individual results vary.

Will it stain my clothes?

No. The formula is fast-absorbing and non-greasy. Allow it to absorb completely before getting dressed.

The research behind the formula.7 sources
  1. Sederma. CoAxel™ — patented L-Carnitine, Caffeine & Coenzyme A complex; 5% twice daily, 28 days. Manufacturer clinical data (patent FR 2 694 195).
  2. Topical caffeine and slimming actives: mechanism via phosphodiesterase inhibition and cAMP-mediated lipolysis; clinical effects modest and partly circulatory. Cosmetics and dermatology reviews.
  3. Bupleurum falcatum root extract — dermatological applications and skin-toning properties. Review literature.
  4. GLP-1 receptor agonists produce mean total body weight reductions in the 15–25% range across major obesity trials.
  5. Across major GLP-1 trials, approximately one quarter of total weight lost is lean mass. See also SEMALEAN body-composition data.
  6. Resistance training 2–4×/week is the standard recommendation for lean-mass preservation and skin appearance during GLP-1 therapy. Mass General, Advances in Motion.
  7. Meta-analyses consistently show resistance exercise combined with adequate protein substantially reduces lean-mass loss during weight-loss programmes.
