Active Low-Carber Forums - Cellulite Cream

I wanted to share this information with all of those people that struggle to get rid of cellulite as I do.

I have been using CelluSculpt cream an avon product for a little over a week. I have to say that I am seeing the dimples smooth out considerably.

I also happen to see on our local news channel a piece on cellulite and creams and I was amazed at what a dermatologist said about it. I have taken before pictures and will take the after pictures in a month, the time alloted for improvement.

Here is the transcript.

<b>Dermatologist recommends anti-cellulite cream

(KMOV) -- You've probably seen TV ads promising thinner, smoother thighs with cellulite creams. Avon is the latest to put out a fat-fighting product. Claims of better looking legs might not be too far fetched.

The new Avon Solutions Cellu-Sculpt Anti-Cellulite Slimming Treatment claims you'll lose an inch in just a month. That's good news if it works because 90 percent of women will develop cellulite.

"The way this one works is it actually has caffeine, gingko biloba. They're claiming it will tighten up the fat, tighten up the skin, give it a smoother look," says News 4 Dermatologist Dr. Madhavi Kandula.

Kandula says claims of losing an inch in a month are far-fetched and nearly impossible with a cream, but she's using Avon's anti-cellulite cream and loves it enough that she's already ordered another $15 tube.

"You can actually feel it's almost tingling and tightening your skin when you use it. So, I'm a consumer, first and foremost, and I love to try new products. I'm very excited about this one," she says.

There are also firming lotions on the market. They don't claim to get rid of cellulite, but instead say they'll tone and smooth out dimpling skin. Dr. Kandula says she's not a big fan of the brands she has tried. Firming lotions target sagging skin, not fat.

"The firming creams are more for that. It's not for true cellulite, but the skin is losing its elasticity and tone," she says.
Kandula points out that Avon's slimming cream will only work in mild to moderate cellulite, don't expect the flab to just melt away. Also, for any of these creams that tighten the skin, you can put them on any of your dimply regions, but avoid your face to tighten up wrinkles. The creams could be irritating on delicate skin. </b>
