The no-BS fat-loss support built to make your calorie deficit more effective and easier to stick to. 10 actives, 5 of them trademarked: CaloriBurn® drives calorie burn, MitoBurn® mimics exercise on rest days, chromium keeps cravings down. Ten minutes into cardio, you'll know it's working.
Chromium smooths out the blood sugar swings behind a 3pm sugar hit, while the thermogenic/stimulant side takes the edge off appetite. Sticking to a deficit stops being a daily internal battle.
CaloriBurn® switches on brown fat and MitoBurn® tells your body it's exercising - even on a rest day. You'll feel MELT working, too: go read the reviews and count how many times you see the word "sweat".
250mg of caffeine from two sources - anhydrous up front, Infinergy™ releasing slowly. Enough to smoothly carry you through cardio, workouts and the rest of the workday, with no jitters and no comedown. Backed by 1,000mg of Acetyl L-Carnitine, so a deep deficit leaves you sharp instead of foggy.
25 servings per tub
Tell Me More
Let's address the big fat elephant (see what I did there lol) in the room: most "fat burners" are just overpriced caffeine pills that give you a bit of jittery energy and do nothing else.
MELT is different.
We built it to be a comprehensive support system for the hardest part of fat-loss: the calorie deficit. MELT doesn't replace your training or your diet (because nothing will) - it makes them more effective, and makes the whole process a lot easier to stick to.
1. The Calorie Advantage: CaloriBurn® & MitoBurn®
We've loaded MELT with research-led, trademarked ingredients that work on the cellular level:
CaloriBurn® (Grains of Paradise), 50mg: Shown in human clinical trials to increase energy expenditure by activating Brown Adipose Tissue - the "good" fat that burns energy instead of storing it.
MitoBurn® (L-BAIBA), 500mg: An "exercise mimetic". It signals to your body that you're in a state of exercise when you're not, which means MELT is working on your rest days too - holding the fat-loss momentum while you recover.
And you won't have to take our word for it. Thermogenesis is the one mechanism you can actually feel, and it's the thing our reviewers mention more than anything else. Take MELT before cardio and about ten minutes in, you'll understand.
2. The Mental Advantage: Cravings, Clarity, & Clean Energy
The #1 reason people fail a cut isn't a lack of training or effort, it's a lack of adherence. MELT helps break past the mental barriers that stop you staying on track:
Appetite Support: 600mcg of chromium works on the glucose swings behind the 3pm slump and the sugar hit that follows it. Push through the day without raiding the cupboard or stopping past Maccas on the way home from work.
Clean All-Day Energy: 250mg of caffeine from two sources - anhydrous up front, Infinergy™ delayed-release behind it. Jitter-free energy that lasts, no matter how deep the deficit is.
Mental Clarity: 1,000mg of Acetyl L-Carnitine crosses the blood-brain barrier efficiently, helping to combat the dreaded "diet brain-fog" and keep you sharp and focussed all the way through your cut, as well as mobilising fat for use as energy.
3. The Absorption Advantage: AstraGin® & BioPerine®
A formula is only as good as what your body actually absorbs, so MELT uses two trademarked absorption enhancers rather than hoping for the best:
AstraGin® (50mg): Astragalus and panax notoginseng root extracts, which improve the uptake of what's alongside them - and supports the gut lining itself, which earns its place in a formula this potent.
BioPerine® (5mg): Standardised black pepper extract at 95% piperine. Five milligrams is all it takes to slow the enzymes that would otherwise clear the actives before they've finished their job.
4. The UGLYFACE® No-BS Approach
We believe in transparency, honesty, and education. There are no proprietary blends in MELT - just ten actives at doses printed on the tub, designed to:
Increase your daily calorie burn
Improve your ability to stick to your diet
Provide the energy and drive to crush every session
Train hard, eat right, and use MELT to make that hard work count.
Key Ingredients
PER SERVE (4 capsules)
CaloriBurn® GP (grains of paradise, std. 12.5% 6-paradol) — 50mg
GBB (gamma-butyrobetaine HCl) — 50mg
Synephrine (from bitter orange fruit extract) — 15mg
Other ingredients: HPMC vegetable capsule, flow agents (551, 460).
25 servings per tub. No proprietary blends.
How To Use
☀️ Every day - 4 capsules
One serving is 4 capsules. Take them earlier in the day, either first thing or mid-morning. Timing them around 30 minutes before cardio makes that session count for more, having them in the morning helps you get ahead of the energy and cravings. Pick what works best for you.
🎯 New to thermogenics? Start on 2
Two capsules is a half serving and plenty to find your feet with. After a few days, go to the full 4 - don't stop at 3 and decide it isn't working. Almost everyone who tells us they felt nothing never got to a full serving.
📈 Rest days too
MELT is built to be taken every day during your fat-loss phase, not just training days. MitoBurn® is an exercise mimetic - it tells your body you're exercising even when you're on the couch, so skipping days costs you.
⏰ Nothing after 5pm
There's 250mg of caffeine in a serving. Take it late and you'll pay for it at bedtime, and sleep is the last thing you want to compromise while you're in a deficit.
💧 Drink more than you think
You're going to sweat more than usual, especially around cardio. Keep your water up.
What's New In This Formula
Same MELT. Sharper formula. We didn't rebuild it - MELT already worked super well. We fixed the parts that could be better and left the rest alone.
Added
Chromium — 600mcg. It works on the glucose swings sitting behind the 3pm slump and the sugar hit that follows it.
AstraGin® — 50mg. A trademarked absorption enhancer, so more of what's printed on the label actually makes it into you.
Removed
Naringin — 600mg. It was doing a job other ingredients in here were already covering, while taking up 600mg of a capsule count that was already a tight fit - and adding to the active load your gut has to deal with. Dropping it freed the room for chromium and AstraGin®, which is a straight upgrade.
Changed
Caffeine: 280mg → 250mg. Still two sources, still anhydrous up front with Infinergy™ releasing behind it. A slightly smoother ceiling that carries the day rather than announcing itself.
Capsules: gelatin → HPMC. The capsule is plant-based now, so it's vegetarian and vegan friendly.
Servings: 30 → 25. Two new trademarked ingredients cost money, and we'd rather drop the serving count than raise the price or thin out the formula - MELT is still the same price it's always been. It also lands about how often most people use MELT each month.
That takes MELT from four trademarked ingredients to five: CaloriBurn™, MitoBurn™, Infinergy™, AstraGin® and BioPerine®.

FAT-LOSS CAN BE HARD...
A calorie deficit is the only thing that actually burns fat. The problem is it is slow, it is miserable to hold, and the longer you are in one the less your body wants to give up.
The constant background hum of thinking about food. You are not even hungry, you just cannot stop thinking about the next meal - and it gets louder the longer you have been in a deficit.
Blood sugar dips and suddenly a pack of cookie is the most reasonable idea you have ever had. It is the single most common place a good day of eating falls over.
You held it together all day, and then the maccas drive-thru happens. One decision at your lowest-willpower moment can undo the whole day.
Low calories hit your concentration well before they hit the scale. That "hold on, what was I saying?" feeling mid-afternoon is your brain running on less than it is used to.
30 minutes on the treadmill burns off roughly one chocolate bar. When the only two levers you have are eat less and move more, the maths sucks pretty quickly.
The day you don't train is the day your calorie burn drops back to baseline and you feel guilty for it. Recovery isn't optional - but in a deficit it can be hard to mentally accept.
The longer you hold a deficit, the harder it gets. Same food, same training, less burned - which is why what was working in week two has slowed down by week six.
Weeks of tracking, weighing and saying no to treats, for a number that shifts a few hundred grams. A deficit you can only build by eating less has a floor - and most people hit that floor long before they hit their goal. Sometimes you need a helping hand.
MELT doesn't replace the deficit, because nothing can. It works on both halves of the problem: it makes the deficit easier to stick to, and it increases what your body burns while you're in it - training day or not.

The difference was instant, not constantly thinking about food, and my appetite has greatly reduced. Absolute game changer while trying to lose weight.
Mel M.
Holy sweatballs Batman! This stuff is amazing! Don't think I have sweated so much during a cardio session as I have after popping 4 of these bad boys. Literally 10 minutes in and I was mopping the brow.
Aaron O.
I have to remember to eat sometimes because my body isn't feeling like it's starving even on less calories. Feels like I'm not even in a deficit, but I am.
Shannon
Does what it says it will - I'm now a sweaty mess in the gym in the best kind of way. The consistent energy boost makes it feel like a life hack, but no harsh come down like a lot of pre-workouts.
Tonii R.
I was looking for a thermogenic formula that was no nonsense, clean and effective without the crash or post workout jitters. After using Melt for a couple of weeks now I've found the product I was searching for!
Hollie H.
I was in the biggest training block of my life while being in a deficit for the yard 42 challenge. This was my secret weapon to help me with low energy and hungry cravings mid afternoon. What a life saver.

Survey of existing MELT users. Figures are customer-reported and compare MELT to other fat-loss products they had used - customer-reported results, not a clinical trial.
THEY'RE ALREADY MELTING, YOUR TURN?
TEN INGREDIENTS. FOUR JOBS.
Ten actives, working on four different parts of a fat-loss phase. Here is what each job actually feels like.
A bigger deficit, without eating less
CaloriBurn® · MitoBurn® · GBB
Your deficit has two sides, and cutting food is only one of them. These work on the other side - the calories burn rather than the ones you eat - and they keep doing it on the days you never make it out the door. You won't be left guessing whether it is working, either. Ten minutes into cardio you will be dripping, and that's MELT saying hello!
Quiet the food noise
Chromium · Caffeine · Synephrine
What ends most cuts is not the training, it is the 3pm cookies and the Maccas drive-thru on the way home. Chromium works on the glucose swings sitting behind both of those moments. Stimulants help blunt the general appetite. People tend to describe it the same way: they stop thinking about food constantly. That is the difference between a deficit you endure and one you barely notice.
Nothing to come down from
Caffeine anhydrous · Infinergy™
Deficits drain you. Less food means less to run on, and by mid-afternoon most people are reaching for something. This holds a level line from the morning through your session and out the other side - no jittery start, no flat patch at four o'clock, and training & cardio you can actually push through.
No diet brain
Acetyl L-Carnitine
Low calories hit your concentration long before they hit anything else - that "hold on, what was I saying?" feeling mid-afternoon. Acetyl L-Carnitine is the form of carnitine that crosses into the brain, so the same ingredient moving stored fat towards being used as fuel is also the one keeping you sharp while you are under-fed. It's a lil double-whammy ingredient.
ONLY A DEFICIT BURNS FAT
Most "fat burners" are caffeine with a label on the front. A calorie deficit is the thing that actually works - and it is also the thing that gets harder to stick to, and often less effective, the longer you are in one. MELT helps you adhere to your diet, and survive it.

What actually changes, and when?
Most fat burners ask you to take them on faith for a month. MELT is one of the few things in this category where the first session already tells you something.
FIRST SERVING
You'll know within the hour
Energy comes up, appetite goes quiet, and if you train that day you will notice the sweat a long way before you normally would. This is the rare supplement where day one tells you something - most people are dripping about ten minutes into cardio instead of twenty-five.
FIRST WEEK
Find your dose, and the noise drops
A full serving is 4 capsules. Start on 2 if you are unsure of your tolerance, then move up to 4 - do not stop at 3 and decide it is not working. This is also the week the food noise and the 3pm hole stop running your afternoons.
WEEKS 2-4
The part that compounds
Taken every day, rest days included. MitoBurn® is an exercise mimetic, so the days you do nothing are exactly the days it earns its place. A small daily lift to what you burn adds up across a month in a way one good session never does.
ONGOING
Where most people quit
Week six is usually where a deficit stalls and the motivation goes with it. If your tolerance to the stimulant side climbs, that's but the half of MELT that is not a stimulant carries on regardless. Feel free to take a day or two off to reset your stim tolerance.
Results vary from person to person. MELT supports a calorie deficit — it does not replace one.
QUESTIONS?
Do I still need to be in a calorie deficit?
Yes. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something.
A calorie deficit is the only thing that causes fat loss, and no capsule changes that. What MELT changes is how hard that deficit is to stick to and how much it gives you back - it raises what you burn across the day, takes the edge off cravings, and keeps your energy up while you are eating less. You still have to do the work. MELT makes the work do more.
Why does MELT make me sweat so much?
Because it is working. That is genuinely the honest answer.
MELT is a thermogenic - it raises your body temperature slightly - heat = energy used = calories burning - and sweating is how your body deals with that. GBB is the main culprit, and it is in there on purpose. It is the single most common thing customers mention, usually somewhere between amused and alarmed: most people are dripping about ten minutes into cardio instead of twenty-five.
It is not a side effect to push through, it is the formula announcing itself. Do keep your water up, especially around training.
When should I take it, and how many capsules?
A full serving is 4 capsules. Most people find the best results from taking MELT in the morning, but others choose to time it around their cardio/workouts.
If you are new to thermogenics, start on 2 capsules for a few days to find your tolerance - then move up to the full 4. Do not stop at 3 and decide it is not doing anything. Almost everyone who tells us they felt nothing never got to a full serving.
Nothing after 5pm. There is 250mg of caffeine in a serving, and sleep is the last thing you want to wreck while you are in a deficit.
Can I stack MELT with your other products?
Depends whether the other product has caffeine in it.
Stacks cleanly: CREATINE, HYDRATE, AMINOS+ and CARB-DEX have no stimulants in them at all, so they sit alongside MELT without any maths involved.
Do the maths first: MELT is 250mg of caffeine. STIM V2 is another 330mg, and PINGAS is 100mg a capsule. MELT plus a full STIM serving is 580mg in a day, which is past the 400mg figure usually quoted as a sensible ceiling for healthy adults. If you want both, run them on different days, or halve one of them. We would rather tell you that than let you find out the hard way.
Can I take MELT alongside a GLP-1?
That is a conversation for whoever prescribed it, not for us - we are a supplement company, not your doctor.
What we can tell you is the bit worth raising with them: GLP-1s work largely by suppressing appetite, and part of what MELT does is suppress appetite too. Plenty of people on a GLP-1 are already finding it hard to eat enough, particularly protein, and stacking two things that blunt hunger on top of each other can make that worse rather than better.
MELT is not a GLP-1 and does not work like one. It is a thermogenic - it raises what you burn rather than lowering what you want to eat. Take the label to your prescriber and ask.
At the end of the day, there's only so much we can say - the best info comes from the people just like you who are actually using MELT.
Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 209 reviews.
I normally struggle with food noise, especially on a cut but melt has made all of the food noise go away for me as well as the hunger queues I would get super bad! I have to remember to eat sometimes because my body isn’t feeling like it’s starving even on less calories, feels like I’m not even in a deficit but I am. Also helped a lot with cravings. Just ordered more, recommend this product for sure!
Turning 40 in a couple of weeks, I was looking for a thermogenic formula that was no nonsense, clean and effective without the crash or post workout jitters… After using Melt for a couple of weeks now I’ve found the product I was searching for! It’s a smooth transition from idle to furnace mode and it has helped me to achieve that pump in the gym. Cam and the team were extremely helpful and the customer service has been second to none. Melt is my new pre-workout go-to and I’ll be trying more ugly face products in future - Thank you!
Crazy good during my summer shred. Took it daily about mid morning and kept me high energy and reduced my appetite. Super helpful considering I was on about 1500 cals a day 💀
With my experience using Melt it’s been pretty great, a bit after taking it I notice a decent suppression in my appetite and also an uplift in my energy which is perfect when in my calorie deficit since I tend to be quite drained when in one
This is a great product - it definitely increases the sweat if I take it just before training, but more than that it makes me feel good for the day. No palpitations or wired feeling that some thermogenics cause, just steady energy. As someone with young kids, a full time job and 2 x daily training sessions it really helps to not have the afternoon crash!
I was in the biggest training block of my life while being in a deficit for the yard 42 challenge. this was my secret weapon to help me with low energy and hungry cravings mid afternoon. what a life saver. it actually made the challenge bareable
I've been taking them for a couple of weeks - and I've just ordered more! I get terrible food noise which makes me eat for the sake of eating whether i'm in a deficit or not. Read some reviews and figured I'd give them a go. The difference was instant, not constantly thinking about food, and my appetite has greatly reduced. Absolute game changer while trying to lose weight
Really great product!!!! Use it before my fasted cardio while on prep, really gets the body heat up 🔥🔥 am sweeting for hours even after cardio is finished 💪🏻💪🏻
I had to cut back the dosage for the first week or so as this is stroooong and it does exactly what it says it does. First “fat burner” product I’ve taken that actually feels like it has an effect
Great product just a shame the serving size is quite large, taking 4 tablets isn’t the most ideal at times. Would be great if there was a powder alternative
Pop a couple of these first thing in the morning before a zone 2 cardio session & you'll be warm and sweating for hours.
Maybe not the most suitable before heading to the office though.
Been consistently using melt as a pre workout now for 2-3 months and I won’t use anything else… mixed with creatine it makes for a bulletproof pump and a superman effort in my lifts. Highly recommend this product!
Melt has definitely added the heat to my morning workouts!
Loving the steady energy it gives me through the day. I no longer have to run for a coffee & sweet treat pick me up when 3pm hits.
It's also helping with my peri-menopause brain fog, & the stubborn belly pooch that appeared is finally flattening out! Very excited to be able to see my lower abs again!
This product really makes you sweat!
The first week made me a bit nauseous but I think I might be handling it better now?
I take 2 capsules, for reference.
I started off with two but felt it wasn’t enough so increased to three and have noticed a difference! I will eventually add an additional to the suggested dose of 4 but so far so good, it does feel like my deficit hunger feeling has reduced a bit!
Love the supps and being able to control the amount of caffeine through either a 2 or 4 pill drop.
I feel the energy boost much more than the sweat especially if I skip cardio.
Great product.
Makes you SWEAT! Literally every part of you will be sweating! Arms, legs - dripping with sweat. I took 2 initially and still got a sweat, but 4 tablets is definitely sauna inducing material!!
I did find that the pills felt like they got stuck in my throat a bit. Recommend taking one at a time with plenty of water in-between.
During a cut, your going to want whatever little edge you can get to help curb hunger cravings etc, Melt has been a staple during my cut, also really gets the body temp up, especially during cardio 🥵
Love it! I've had great results with Ugly Face Melt, and honestly, I love all of the Ugly Face products. They're some of the few supplements where you can genuinely see and feel a noticeable difference.
It's refreshing to support a genuine New Zealand company that's focused on creating products that actually work, rather than just making big promises. They're doing a lot of good for the supplement industry, and it shows in the quality of their products. Highly recommend!
Give such a good energy boost in the morning - I am pumped on my way to work! Even after being up and down with a teething toddler! Sweated quite a bit at the gym but its also really hot at the moment. Haven't noticed a lot of fat loss per say however the energy and motivation these give me are AMAZING!
Holly molly this sup certainly does what it says it will. Every morning before I do my Zumba I take my melt and then start my workout building up a big sweat and im able to work out longer now because of melt it gives me so much energy highly recommend this product.
