Thank you Chickadvisor for allowing me to review this product. I used this product for 4 weeks as instructed, applying it in the morning and evening. I have always been very skeptical about cellulite creams (how can a cream get rid of the way that the fat lies underneath the skin?) however, I have heard reports that they can help reduce the appearance of cellulite.
First of all, I liked the way that the product felt when I applied it (it's a gel and goes on very smooth) and didn't find the smell to be too strong. However, the price of this product is quite steep (around $70) and apparantly there is also a scrub and night cream that is part of this product family that you can also buy. This one is the day cream (which I applied twice daily and found this to already be a lot of work). I can't imagine having to add a scrub to the process although this is supposed to help "break down" the fat deposits and improve the results even more.
I have to report that I did notice a *slight* improvement as my skin did appear *slightly* smoother with not as much dimpling but can't say that it was all that significant. I don't think paying $70 for a product is worth it if the results are barely noticeable.
However, I only have a little bit of cellulite. The results might be more significant on someone who has more cellulite because the amount of improvement may be more obvious. But it's still a lot of money to invest in something that only seems to slightly reduce the appearance of cellulite and does not get rid of it entirely.
I was very exciting when the tube of Biotherm Celluli Laser D.Code arrived in the mail, but was completely disappointed on first use. First of all, they claim that the product has no residue once applied, but I found the back of my legs and rear sticky after repeatedly rubbing the product in thoroughly. I wasn't too pleased about repeating this process twice a day for four weeks, but I did. The smell of the lotion is pleasant enough, but I could not get over the texture. After four weeks of using this product, which is the recommended time for seeing results, I saw very little improvement. I am a very active person and my cellulite is very much genetically related and unfortunately this product, despite its claims to fight genetics, did little to improve my cellulite. I say fugheddaboutit!
First of all kudos to Chick Advisor for allowing me to test this product – it definitely eased the pain when after a dedicated four-week application, the results were not completely as promised.
That said, I have minimal cellulite and had high hopes to get rid of that little bit which, I feel has to some degree disappeared, I still see traces of it. Regardless, I must admit that those areas where I applied (while wishing and hoping) do seem a little more taut.
Also, the product has a wonderful smell that I loved – but had to wonder what it was masking as the ingredients list many products, none of which seem natural.
All in all, I will continue using this product as I’m not completely done with the formula but don't think I'll run out for a refill. For those with minimal cellulite, you may notice some results but don’t expect a magical potion. Perhaps some things are too good to be true?
