the jergans stuff works for me. $5 bottle lasts me about a month. i recommend trying it, but you will only notice a big difference if your cellulite is minimal in the first place.
it tightens up my arms and my legs, for sure.

also, best sunless tanner is neutrogena spray foam. i use it every morning on my legs and i love it.

Avon has a product called cellu-sculpt i guess it has great results the district manager told me she lost one inch on each thigh and a flight attendant emailed avon saying that it also got rid of her spider veins..
:roll:

That stuff did not work for me and infact made me break out in a horrible rash. I don't have a problem with cellulite but I just wanted my skin to look nice....never again!

less expensive than a "firming" lotion....
 
It is my underestanding that the "active" ingrediant in firming lotions are AHA's (exfoliants like alphahydroxy acids, betahydroxy acids, etc.) AHA's will get you smoother, softer skin that (I thing) looks nicer.

So, personally, I wouldn't spend money on a firming lotion. You can get a nice AHA lotion without spending a lot. Curell has one, Suave has one, etc. My favorite -- because it is almost completely scentless, is Alphahydrox brand body lotion. It has 7% AHA and makes my skin wonderfully smooth.

** I wouldn't recommend AHA lotions to anyone with sensitive skin because AHA's could irritate it. **

I am using it religiously post-shower in hopes that it will minimize any saggy skin as I lose weight.
