Cellulite: What Works, What Doesn’t Work And What Surprised Me. Some Thing I’ve Tried…

1. ACCENT: Tried it several times and the results were great at first but not really amazing and for the price and pain (did I mention PAIN?), it’s not the panacea promised in the ads. If you’ve got a mild case, it would probably be good, but for moderate or severe, it helps, but does not eliminate.

2. Bliss Fat Girl Slim: So wanted this to work. I’d read some good reviews, but for me it was just a nice moisturizer. I didn’t really see anything happening (used it for 3 straight weeks).

3. Oligo DX Cellulite Reducing Gel: One item on my line-up that works. I wasn’t expecting much when I started using it (my hopes have been dashed too many times!), but I really see results when I use it. I’m firmer, more toned and even (dare I say) a bit thinner? I will definitely re-purchase (for a third time!)

4. Celluthin: In the pink bottle. Wanted it to work and all the reviews on amazon.com promised it would. But alas, it just doesn’t seem to do the trick with me (used for 3 straight weeks). I don’t get it?

5. Bliss stimilator: Cheap, easy to use and it works. Lather up and then swirl this thing around on your thigh, arms, wherever you see the bumps. It will stimulate circulation and you’ll see smoother skin (at least temporarily!)

6. Pycnogenol: My new secret weapon. Dr. Murad and others tout antioxidants as the enemy of cellulite. I tried this one and for me, it really helps. I eat a pretty high antiox diet, but adding this supplement a few times a week seems to really work.

7. 30 Day Shred (Jillian Michaels): God, I hate to admit it, but this thing works. She is no sweet little thing: She’ll bust your butt! It’s only 20 minutes but you’ll sweat. I actually enjoy it and really enjoy the results (when I do it consistently). Why does everything have to come down to diet and exercise? Oh well…
