Cellulite can be stubborn! Everyone knows that, but what people DON’T KNOW is that cellulitis is one of the most common skin conditions amongst women. According to self.com, up to 93% of women will experience it at some point in their lives.
There has been a lot of misinformation on the subject, so we decided to bust the most common myths about cellulitis!
It could be really frustrating to try to get rid of it by doing the wrong things over and over. Most people think that they can get rid of cellulite by working out. The truth is that cellulitis is a skin condition. By working out we are just strengthening the muscles and nothing is really changing in the skin, and this is where the problem is!
Myth #1 – You are stuck with cellulite and can’t get rid of it.
Wrong!
Myth #2 – It only happens because you are out of shape.
Wrong!
Women everywhere have gone through everything to diminish the dimples on their tights and legs.
Is it Possible to Get rid of Cellulite Without Surgery?
Well, it appears that the answer is YES!
Let’s get into a little detail on why everyone is affected by cellulite:
With the age and different lifestyle habits, we will see the connective tissue under the epidermis start breaking through. Once that happens, the normal appearance of the top layer of our skin will make it appear unsmooth.
So What can be done to straighten those fibers and tissues to make the skin smoother and tighter?
The more traditional approach would be to obviously start consuming those fibers by eating the right food such as watermelon, strawberries, carrots, zucchini, and more, but THAT WON’T BE ENOUGH.
Amazing ingredients such as Q10 and L-carnitine have been shown to be very effective in multiple studies. Working together, they are able to “shrink” the fat cells back to their normal size, allowing the skin to return to its normal appearance.

Which anti-cellulite creams really works?
Because it’s so hard to treat cellulite effectively, it can be difficult to choose the best cellulite cream to get rid of it. Many manufacturers make bold claims that they offer the best cellulite cream, but do they have the results to back up their claims?
Furthermore, it can take up to 60 days to see results with some products, so it’s hard to tell what works and what doesn’t to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Here, our professional team did extensive research on almost all of the best cellulite creams on the market and determined 5 of the best cellulite creams through extensive testing. We considered factors like cost, results, manufacturer ethics, and product efficacy to develop our reviews. We observed the users of each product for 60 days before weighing its advantages and disadvantages. Take a look at our picks.

I’ve been using the brush and the anti cellulite cream for a week now and I’m very impressed by the results. After brushing, my skin feels smooth, soft and visibly firmer. After brushing I apply the cream, which smells amazing and nothing like other creams I’ve used in the past. It has a perfect consistency and it’s easily applied. I brush both my legs and my arms. I would recommend it to anyone that would like to have better looking and healthier skin.
See moreI've been using the cream for a few weeks now and besides smelling amazing I can actually see firming in my skin. That really excites me. I have sensitive skin and was very excited that I didn't have any reaction. The cream is very smooth not too thick or oily. It has a smell that is really really pleasant. You will definitely see results if you stick to it in terms of using the brush to massage your skin and then applying the cream. Their brush is amazing! I was really impressed with the quality of the brush, it really makes a difference in smoothing the skin and exfoliating. I had legs that were riddled with cellulite and used this consistently. Now I see smoother firmer skin. I use the cream on my legs, arms and tummy. I'm telling you - consistent use with the brushing will get rid of your cellulite. After a few weeks, you will see results. Can't wait for my next shipment to arrive.
See moreI love life’s butter it makes a difference for anyone with cellulite. I was so pleased with the results! It comes beautifully packaged and smells good too! I highly recommend this product and can’t wait for my next order to arrive!
See moreIf you want to get rid of cellulite definitely try this product.
See moreThis actually seems to work! I do not have a lot of cellulite, just enough to drive me nuts! Maybe I can wear my short shorts next year!

(120ML 4 FL OZ)
(302 Reviews)
Our Rating: 8.5/10
Customer Rating: 8.68/10 (200 Votes)
Coming from the Beauxi house, this cream combines many exclusive ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and Chenopodium quinoa seed extract. This ensures that the product is high in vitamin B (mostly B12). This hydrates the skin while stimulating a natural “glow”. This product was produced in an FDA-regulated lab which makes us feel safe when using it. Our reviewers advised that in terms of overall quality and outcome this was a winner.
This cream is a bit pricier than the rest on this list, but can you put a price tag on the best quality ingredients for your body?

#3 Body Merry
(120ML 4 FL OZ)
(280 Reviews)
Our Rating: 7.5/10
Customer Rating: 7.68/10 (193 Votes)
Body Merry is a gel-cream and its full of natural ingredients. However, along with these natural ingredients we also found that this gel includes MSM, or Methylsulfonymethane. When applied on skin reviewers said that they felt a tingling feeling. This is a direct result of menthol and cayenne which are also ingredients in this product. This gel feels more like an oil and can be applied with a mitt, brush or massager.
This product is cruelty free and the company emphasizes their commitment to that cause. Body Merry also provides a 90-day money back guarantee. A 4 oz jar costs $20.99 and ranks the second most expensive cream that we reviewed.

#4 Instanatural

Our Rating: 6.8/10
Customer Rating: 6.95/10 (154 Votes)
This cream contains a mixture of retinol, caffeine, vitamin E. This cream also contains jojoba seed oil which is basically a plant wax that is commonly used to moisturize skin. The company claims that it “reverses the appearance of cellulite on the skin and defend against the formation of more cellulite on the legs, arms, or tummy areas”. Our research recorded differently. Jojoba oil is primarily used as a skin moisturizer and not to treat cellulite. So, this factor leads us to question the integrity of the product. An extensive ingredient list was not listed. Insta natural is used with no extra like brushes or mitts. Simply massage in skin twice daily with hands. This is a very budget friendly option.
