Buy Walking VideosSelfworx Settled with the FTC
If you look at their website now, there are no products or claims listed at all. Part of the FTC settlement was to remove unsubstantiated claims from their advertising, so it’s not a surprise that all the website has now is a phone number and a frequently asked questions file which clarifies how to return merchandise.
Selfworx marketed two products: Gelthin and Ultra LipoLean. Gelthin was supposed to melt fat away when you rub it on “problem areas.” Ultra LipoLean was supposed to “block fat.” Neither of them did what they said they would do.
The FTC can’t be everywhere. Small companies can pop up, promise great results and dissapear into thin air before the FTC can get them and before you can get your money back. There is no substitute for healthy eating habits and exercise. Don’t let them get you.

Selfworx marketed other products on their website. Not just two weight loss products. They also had skin care treatments for people with exzema.

Well, all that has been pulled now. I wonder if their claims about the skin care products were also part of the FTC settlement.
