Creams for Cellulite Treatment

Cellulite creams designed to be rubbed into the areas of cellulite on a daily basis. Cellulite creams contain a variety of ingredients which are supposed to stimulate fat metabolism - for instance xanthines - in laboratory conditions, but recent studies have not shown them to be effective with cellulite. They may also cause an allergic reaction.

Are creams an effective treatment for cellulite? No. Cellulite creams were tested in a double-blind study published in the British Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 1999 and, after 12 weeks, only 3 of 17 women reported even slight improvements. So they are not recommended for cellulite reduction.

What cellulite creams can do, when used with massage, is help to improve the texture of the skin and therefore the appearance.
