Do Anti Cellulite Creams REALLY Work?

Ok, we have all seen them, in every grocery store in the country, magazines and online. Anti Cellulite creams are sweeping the nation and everybody is wondering if they work, and many are giving them a try to no avail. So what is the real deal with them? And how do they work?

Well every company from Mary Kay and Avon, to Nivea and Store brands as some form of Anti Cellulite cream on the market. They are all made the same way just marketed differently and displayed differently. They come in creams, gels and for the newest one, patches! You rub or place these on you legs and the cellulite should disappear, is the claim.

These creams claim to either get rid of cellulite completely, or reduce it by whatever percentage. In all the advertisements you see women with beautiful legs and you are thinking "I want her legs and they say if I use this cream I will get them". So when we use the cream and those legs don't magically appear we get frustrated and say it doesn't work.

What these creams do is use L-Carnitine which is your skins natural cellulite-fighting ingredient to reduce the appearance of cellulite. What many of us don't read is that you will start to see results in 4 weeks. That is when you will start to see results not when you legs will be perfect. For these cream to fully work it could take up to 6 months.

That is what the marketing people don't tell you. Now think about it. You are supposed to put this cream on twice a day all over both legs. That means you will go through about 2 bottles a month or so. For six months! That's 12 bottles at about $7 - $12 a bottle that means you will have spent $84 -$144 just on this cream to get your legs to look good.

Now here is what the marketers really don't want you to know. If you stop using the cream your legs will go back to the way they were in the beginning in just a month or maybe two if your lucky! Which means to keep your legs looking like the models in the ads you must continue to buy the 2 bottles of cream each moth continuing to spend $14 -$24 a month on this cream.

Now that you know the facts it's really up to you to decide if this cream is right for you to use! If money isn't an issue and you can remember to put this cream on twice a day for however long you want, then go for it. If not, this new product may not be for you!
