Which anti-cellulite cream is better: reviews

Victoria De, Deputy Chief Editor:

– There comes a time when everyone around here and there keeps repeating about diets and orange peel on the skin … Testing anti-cellulite products? It must be so!

I choose Vichy cream because I trust this cosmetic brand. Let’s see what he is capable of.

Expectations: Vichy Cellu Destock is positioned as a tool for modeling the figure. Lipocidin, which is part of the cream gel (an agent that stimulates the production of protein, which is responsible for burning lipids during the period of restricting the amount of calories consumed), optimizes the breakdown of fat deposits, caffeine has a drainage effect and helps to increase metabolism in adipose tissue. Cosmetologists assure that the effect of the product will be visible after 28 days of use.

Reality: apply to problem areas and rub the cream into the body with massaging movements. Did my thighs shrink after the first application? Of course not! But immediately after application, I felt a slight chill on my body, the skin began to look soft and moisturized.

The first results were visible within a week. The skin looks healthier, firmer and more elastic. In short, in my case, the tool fulfilled its task. I will continue to use it to improve the effect.

Evaluation: 10 out of 10. The cream did an excellent job.

Nastya Obukhova, editor of the Fashion and Shopping section:

– The Swedish brand Oriflame is probably familiar to everyone. I periodically use the brand’s products, although I do not consider myself a fan of it. On the other hand, my mom is absolutely crazy about this brand, especially moisturizers.

Expectations: Optimals Body anti-cellulite gel with caffeine and lotus leaf extract is designed to significantly reduce the appearance of “orange peel”, make the skin even and smooth, and improve microcirculation in tissues.

In all honesty, I do not believe in the instant effect of anti-cellulite products. It is simply impossible to get rid of cellulite by smearing some kind of cream on yourself. It is important to approach the problem in a comprehensive manner: do at least exercise in the morning, eat right, moisturize the skin in problem areas, go for a massage. So I didn’t expect a miracle from Optimals Body. I wanted an elementary effect: to tighten the skin a little and restore its minimal tone.

Reality: the gel smells unobtrusively fresh. Absolutely non-sticky, easy and pleasant to apply. At the same time, the massage roller, which the tube is equipped with, pleasantly kneads the skin during use. The main thing is not to press too hard, otherwise bruises and abrasions may appear (by the way, I had this from the Garnier massage roller). After two weeks of use, the skin became even smoother to the touch, slightly tightened. I would not say that I suffer from a pronounced manifestation of cellulite. I think, for people like me, the tool is perfect. For those who have a real “orange peel”, this gel will not be enough.

Rating: 10 out of 10. An excellent budget tool that can easily compete with more expensive counterparts.

I believe that by using slimming creams, you can count on your skin to be smooth and firm.

Expectations: The luxury brand L. Raphael is often used in spa treatment salons. The Perfect Body L. RAPHAEL line of body products is designed to effectively restore skin elasticity, tone and shape. The products contain a complex of effectively interacting components, including four plant extracts that stimulate the metabolism in cells, increasing the density and tone of the skin.

Reality: the fact that caffeine, menthol and green tea extract improve blood circulation, I felt immediately when the skin began to warm up pleasantly. The product is universal: despite the fact that the Perfect Body line also includes a cream and a toning oil, my gel did an excellent job on its own in restoring skin elasticity.

The volumes have not changed, for this there is proper nutrition and a gym, but the condition of the skin has noticeably improved.

Rating: 9 out of 10. I take off the point for an impressive price.

Victoria De, Deputy Chief Editor:

– Avon has millions of fans around the world and just as many opponents. The latter criticize the products of this cosmetic brand, primarily for its price … Like, a good cream cannot be so cheap. As for me, I have been convinced many times from personal experience that the cost of a product does not always indicate its quality. Therefore, I am pleased to take Avon body cream-gel and test it on myself.

Expectations: cosmetologists assure that the effect of toned thighs together with Avon cream-gel can be achieved in three days. This “magic” is possible thanks to the Lift & Tone complex in the product, which includes orange blossom extract and peptide. The product stimulates the production of elastin and collagen, which are responsible for the elasticity of the skin, and blocks the formation of fat.

Reality: the cream-gel perfectly moisturizes the skin, does not tighten it and does not leave a film-like feeling. I notice the first effect after a few days. The skin tightens, and the jeans gradually stop cracking … Am I satisfied with this effect? Yes. Will I continue to use it? Definitely.

Evaluation: 10 out of 10. For jeans that you can now fit without soap!

Olga Turbina, editor of the section “Sex and Relationships”:

– Slimming tool Сlarins Lift Minceur promotes weight loss and fights cellulite. I have never had the latter, but I wanted to add smoothness and elasticity to the skin. Recently, I have become a fan of Clarins facial treatments, so the body treatment has lived up to expectations.

Expectations: Clarins offers its solution – anti-cellulite modeling Lift Minceur Anti-Capitons, created on the basis of the latest scientific developments. Enriched with slimming botanical extracts, this highly effective formula is protected by 4 patents. My skin is not problematic, but prevention has not bothered anyone yet.

Reality: the product has a delicate texture, as well as a pleasant perfumery aroma. The cream is quite liquid, it is easily applied to the skin, leaving almost no sticky feeling. It is absorbed just fine (for anti-cellulite products), leaving the skin smooth and velvety.

In general, my skin was satisfied, but to be honest, I don’t believe in all these anti-cellulite products. I urge everyone to be realistic: sitting on the priest and eating rolls in the evenings, one cannot hope that super cream will fix everything. Only the gym and proper nutrition will give visible results. And Lift Minceur by Clarins will be a great addition!

Rating. I give a rating of 5 out of 10. Subtract 5 points for my own skepticism, may the manufacturers forgive me!

Yulia Gaponova, managing editor:

– Many of us are led on advertising and promises of everything and immediately in a short time. And I am no exception. Especially when manufacturers promise instant transformation and perfect body sculpting. I was not familiar with the ENVIRON ™ brand before, the more interesting it was for me to test the product of this particular brand.

Expectations: ENVIRON ™ Body Profile sculptural toning gel helps to even out the relief and leave the skin smooth and firm. Manufacturers also promise that with regular use, the product perfectly smoothes the surface, increases blood circulation, provides antioxidant protection and has a beneficial effect on the skin in general. The gel should be applied daily to clean skin with light massaging movements without rubbing. In case of severe cellulite (or flabbiness), it can be used in the morning and in the evening.

I will say right away that I was attracted to this product by the opportunity to restore skin elasticity and improve blood circulation. I will not say that I have problems with this, but for the purposes of prevention and to prevent wilting and stretch marks, why not try it. Moreover, the product is ideal for all skin types.

Reality: I will not say that the result was immediately noticeable, but the gel turned out to be quite pleasant. The product is easy to apply, does not stick and does not leave marks. The smell was also neutral, not intrusive. What else do you need for a sculpting cream? Only the result, of course. And only when I had already started testing, I immediately saw in the instructions in small print a reminder that the result becomes noticeable after 3-6 months of everyday use. Well, you have to wait for the allotted time to see the effect.

And another important point that you should pay attention to if you decide to try this remedy: this product cannot be used for the décolleté and face area, it cannot be used during pregnancy and the cream does not contain a sunscreen factor. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that direct sunlight does not fall on the skin.

Evaluation: 9 out of 10 for the fact that the result will be visible only after six months.

Yulia Gaponova, managing editor:

– I have known the Swedish company Oriflame for a long time, but I was able to try this brand’s body massager just recently. I will not say that I was delighted, but perhaps someone will like it.

Expectations: what can you expect from a hand held massager? The manufacturers promised that the use of this ergonomic massager with soft plastic elements will help relieve tension and relax after a hard day. It can also be used for vigorous massage of problem areas (for example, thighs, to prevent cellulite formation).

Reality: the plastic massager has a size of 13,5 x 8 x 3,5 cm, which is an undoubted plus, since you can easily take it with you on trips. I will not say that I received a good relaxing massage, but in general this thing coped with its task.

Evaluation: 8 out of 10, I just don’t really like this kind of massagers.
