Cellulite creams are one of the most safe, easy and cheap options for treating cellulite. There are both expensive and cheap brands that can be found in every form of cream, gel and lotion. With this plethora of options it is difficult to decide which product to buy.
Common ingredients in anti-cellulite creams:
- Aminophylline – a muscle relaxant used in the treatment of asthma to help relax the lungs. It primrily has a diuretic effect when used topically on the skin.
- Caffeine – helps to drain fluids from the spaces between cells and stimulates lipolysis, the breakdown of fat stored in the cells.
- L-Carnitine – an amino acid involved in the metabolism of fat, which speeds fat oxidation.
- Retinoids – Vitamin A derivatives that help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and roughness of the skin by improving circulation.
- Alpha hydroxy acids – mainly found in plants and certain foods such as citrus fruits, apples, grapes, tomatoes and apricots. These can act of exfoliators which help with the elimination of superficial dead cells and thus increase the turnover rate of cells.
