The statement about your face is most likely linked to dehydration/low-carb diet. This is a very common senario, a toned upper body yet fat retention around the mid-section. I have used both products and both worked well. However,
Ab-solved worked better when I had a higher bf% and visa versa with Lipoderm. I would try the Lipoderm Ultra, that's just me.
