This method can be effective, but there are two downsides.  The first is that the cellulite treatment is not permanent (you will have to continue applying anti cellulite lotion to your skin or your results will not last).  The second is that you are really only improving the top layer of your skin, and the appearance of cellulite is caused by your lower layers of skin as well.  This is why it is important to attack your cellulite using a number of different methods (i.e. – combining the cellulite cream with a diet and cellulite exercises).

So we know that there are cellulite creams that can temporarily improve the condition of cellulite on the skin.  However, there are literally hundreds of lotions, creams, and potions that claim that they will eliminate 100% of your cellulite forever!  Is this true for all of them?  Most likely not!  However, there are obviously some that work better than others.  What are some good ways to figure out which ones are better before spending any money?

The first method is to look on the ingredients and see if most of the ingredients in the lotion are natural.  Good cellulite lotions are composed of antioxidants, natural herbs, vitamins, and minerals, all of which help in cellulite reduction.  These are powerful ingredients that help stimulate and renew the skin.  Also look for a powerful stimulant, such as caffeine, seaweed, or green tea, which is very important because it will help reduce the amount of cellulite visible on your skin quickly.  Retinol-A (the purest form of Vitamin A) is another powerful ingredient to look for in the ingredients.  This vitamin helps improve the overall texture and condition of the skin, giving it a more radiant and healthy look.

* Look for powerful stimulants in the ingredients, such as caffeine, seaweed, or green tea.

It is also important to remember that while a cellulite lotion may be effective because of the ingredients inside, another reason that it is effective is because of the massaging of the skin that goes with the application.  The physical action of rubbing these lotions into the skin is helping with circulation, which in turn improves the condition.  While there is not any overwhelming scientific evidence to confirm that lotions work because of the ingredients or because of the massaging that goes with the application, consumer reports show that the application of specialized creams applied in a massaging form can be effective in cellulite removal.

NOTE:  Be wary of any product that claims it can eliminate fat purely through topical application.  Either the company is trying to scam you by promising on results it can’t achieve, or it is unhealthy and dangerous in some way.  I would at least request more specific information before ordering any cellulite firming lotion.

Those are some of the things to look for when debating which is the best cellulite lotion to buy.  At the very least, be sure to go for a major brand such as Revitol, Cellulean, or Neutrogena when making your selection.

These are the best cellulite lotions available on the market today.  How were they selected?  Through a lot of research on several consumer-reports websites.  In other words, these are the most highly recommended products based on reviews from people who have actually used the products themselves.

Murad Body Care Firm and Tone Serum

This product is a top seller on Amazon’s cellulite treatment lotions.  It uses cayenne pepper to help with circulation underneath the skin, helping improve the overall appearance.  Another positive attribute is that people seem to have longer lasting results with this cream than others after discontinued use.

In independent studies, over half of the participants reported an improvement in skin appearance after using consistently for 8 weeks.  This product also helps with stretch marks.  According to some reviews, however, the product does have a strong odor to it that will last for roughly an hour after application.

Note:  This is one of the few cellulite creams that does not contain any caffeine.

Revitol Cellulite Lotion

Revitol cellulite cream is one of the biggest names in the cellulite elimination industry.  So how does it size up?  People love it!  Many independent review websites rank it as their number one product, and it’s also a top seller on Amazon.  The solution is extremely highly concentrated so people don’t have to use a lot to get the desired results.  The main ingredients are caffeine and algae (both very important ingredients in cellulite lotions).  One key fact about this particular product that makes it stand out from the rest is that it detoxifies the fat cells on the top layer of the skin, giving it a smoother appearance – something no other cellulite product does!  It is also nearly entirely scentless.

Note:  This is different from a product that claims it dissolves fat.  If you come across a product that claims to do that, don’t buy it!  It is most likely a scam, or might even be harmful.

Nivea Body Reshaping Treatment

Of all the cellulite reducing creams, this lotion has gotten the highest number of individual positive reviews I have seen on the Internet.  The main ingredient found in this product is a coenzyme Q10 that decreases in the body over time (which this product helps replenish).  It is also high in soy protein.  The combination of these two products has been shown to improve the appearance of skin in two to four weeks, assuming regular daily application.  It also reportedly smells great, and also serves as a great regular moisturizer.

Another positive about this product is that it is relatively cheaper than other cellulite creams on the market.  Nivea is a well-known beauty company.  If you like this product, Nivea Goodbye Cellulite is another anti-cellulite product that has received positive reviews from people who have used it.

Neutrogena Anti-Cellulite Treatment with Retinol

Another popular cellulite removal cream from a major beauty company, this product is also relatively cheap.  This product contains the two very important ingredients caffeine and seaweed extracts, as well as Retinol (which is the purest form of vitamin A).  This product does take a bit longer than other products listed here (roughly 12 weeks), however, a lot of people are very pleased with the results.  Not only that, some reviewers mentioned they got positive results in as little as four weeks.

RevitaShape

This product was the editor’s choice of a cellulite magazine for the top cellulite lotion available.  It contains both caffeine and seaweed extract, as well as l-carnitine.  L-carnitine is an amino acid that helps speed the process of metabolizing of fat.  While that last statement strikes me as a little fishy (since it came directly from the manufacturer), it has gotten a lot of positive reviews from independent review sites and individual customers as well.  They also have a guarantee that you will noticeably improve your cellulite within 6 weeks.

CelluliteRX 3-step process LipoKit by DERMed

Last on my list but certainly not the least!  This cellulite treatment cream can cause significant cellulite reduction in as little as four weeks with daily application.  It is meant to be used in a sequence, as the kit comes with three separate products.   This kit also got extremely high results in independent studies, where EVERY participant noticed at least a 50% improvement in their condition.  Be forewarned, one of the side effects of this product is a redness of the skin for roughly half an hour after application.

Conclusion:
Remember, all of these are the top lotions I could find based on overall customer reviews, as well as customer satisfaction with these different companies.  They are also all from top name-brand institutions in beauty.  We also have a specific post dedicated to reviewing Cellulean.

Like anything in life (and in beauty), some products work better for some people than for others (just like medicine).  That is why these are not ranked in numerical order; this is just a list of the top quality cellulite products on the market that have been shown to be generally effective for most people.  It is very difficult to determine if there actually is a best lotion for cellulite.  Hopefully this list will help you find a product that is effective in your own fight against cellulite.  Also, don’t forget that these will work more effectively if you combine them with a healthy diet and cellulite exercises.  Good luck!
