No. The products are worthless and the company is an MLM (multilevel marketing aka pyramid scheme). I have a friend who is a "promoter " - I have seen firsthand that the products don't work.6

No. I'm saving money by losing weight because I'm buying less food. I just use this free app to help manage my calories. I even get to indulge in iced cream now and then, and I'm down ~60 pounds.
Losing weight isn't easy, but it's very simple. There's no reason to complicate it. And there's no magic, if you could just do one effortless thing to shed weight, be no one would be fat.4 -
I just looked it up because I was curious and woo boy. Spending hundreds of dollars on a patch that injects untested substances into my body through an untested delivery mechanism with zero independent research or oversight on it is just not my cup of tea.9

Let's just assume the ingredients actually did what they are claimed to do (which, no, they absolutely don't, but let's play pretend for a minute)...
...proof that they can be absorbed and utilized transdermally? HAH. Right. If you have a headache you don't hold a Tylenol in your hand or rub it on your arm. You have to ingest it.
If the ingredients did work when taken orally (which they don't, because if they did, well then, why wouldn't they market yet another "lose weight fast!" pill and WOW, just like that, it's a miracle, nobody with $39.99 to spend would be overweight anymore!), then a transdermal patch could possibly make some degree of sense from the standpoint of a more time-released function BUT once again, A. the ingredients do NOT burn fat or have any other miraculous properties, and B. an awful lot of substances we consume orally are not effectively absorbed through the skin.
