None of the 9 creams tested by the monthly issue of UFC Que To Choose is effective in the fight against cellulite. To remove cellulite, only natural methods work.
Notice to all those who are already preparing their “boddy summer” *: no need to run out and buy anti-cellulite creams at the pharmacy. According to the magazine What to choose, they are not effective.
Poor efficiency
The monthly tested 9 anti-cellulite creams produced by the brands Shiseido, Clarens, Nuxe body, Elancyl, Biotherm, Nivea, Lierac, Linéance and Somatoline cosmetics. For starters, none of them exceed the overall score of 9.4 out of 20. All of them are rated “poor” or “bad” by dermatologists, with the exception of Shiseido, which is moderately effective.
Regarding thermography (an infrared imaging process reflecting the temperature of the skin that cellulite makes heterogeneous) there is no evolution towards more homogeneity after long-lasting and repeated application of creams, except for Shiseido and Clarens , whose effectiveness is qualified as “average” in this area. When it comes to reducing the circumference of the thighs, the verdict is final: none of the creams tested are effective, all of them qualifying as “bad”.
It will be noted all the same that the use of anti-cellulite creams has a significant placebo effect, which will at least have the merit of making it possible to feel more comfortable in a bikini. In “perceived effectiveness”, the majority of creams obtain a good rating. Not sure that this justifies the exorbitant price of the 9 creams tested, which range from 14 to 59 euros.
Natural methods
To reduce cellulite, nothing beats natural methods, that is to say:
– Avoid staying too long standing or sitting too long during the day.
– Do not wear tight clothes.
– No smoking.
– Eat less salt.
– Eat less fat.
– Play sports, whatever it is, even if swimming and cycling are preferred.
Accepting your body as it is can also solve a lot of problems. Remember that cellulite is not a pathology but a simple aesthetic development of the human body, governed by hormonal factors. It affects four times more women than men, whether they are round or thin. Its primary function is very noble: to have sufficient fat reserves to ensure pregnancy and breastfeeding.
