Time tested: 30 days

MIXED REVIEWS

Nancy Sica

Age: 58

Residence: Miami

Opinion: Hate it!

Why: It is very sticky and heavy upon application -- certainly not very appealing in our humid Miami climate. It would be worth it if I had noticed any cellulite reduction. But, unfortunately, I did not.

Dawne Richards

Age: 47

Residence: Pompano Beach

Opinion: It's OK

Why: While the cream has a great, almost soufflé-like texture and feels good on my skin (cool and tingly and warm at the same time), it does nothing to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Judy Genao

Age: 37

Residence: North Miami Beach

Opinion: Love it!

Why: I used this product twice a day for four weeks and do notice that the cellulite lines in the inner part of my arm are smoother in look and feel. The appearance of the lines are also diminished -- not gone -- but you can see a difference. I love the citrus scent of this product and it has a fresh, tingling feeling.

Lori Helitzer

Age: 51

Residence: Plantation

Opinion: Love it!

Why: I love the feeling after I put this on -- it's like a rich moisturizer -- but I have not seen any cellulite reduction.

Mariauxy Castillo-Vitale

Age: 42

Residence: Miami

Opinion: It's OK

Why: My skin on my thighs did feel more soft and supple and I loved the tingly sensation when applied. But there was no effect whatsoever on cellulite, firming or toning.
