don't think it is working... - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

I bought the L'Oreal skin firming anti-cellulite cream and have been using it every day and am not seeing much of anything. It has been 9 days and I should see SOME improvement by now (especially with all the working out I am doing). So now I wonder, does it only work well if you buy the night time cream too? OR, would a more expensive brand like AVON be better than the drug store stuff (this was 12.00) I will keep using it til it is gone, so I'll let ya know, but I don't expect anything.

I have been informed that there is really nothing significant in these creams to get rid of cellulite. It is the actual motion of rubbing ithe lotion in, which over time breaks it up and changes the appearabce of it.

I know ya can't ever get rid of the fat you have, but you can shrink it. The creams have caffeine which is supposed to tighten the skin. It claims it can slim the thigh area-well, can't say it is slimming anything. Oh well, I kinda thought it might not. I just wanted to share.

It's really bunk, using any Baby oil or any massage oil will do the same thing, it is all in the massaging the area alot! Topical caffiene doesn't penetrate and the amount is very insignificant, it's another way to get their hand in your pocket book by claiming all sorts of stuff when the technique of massaging is what does it, not their cream.

ah, that does make sense!!! Someone did tell me they are having some luck with the Avon version. But, I think I will just do my work outs. Thanks for that little tidbit of info
