Clarins High Definition Body Lift

Clarins High Definition Body Lift
What does it promise to do?: 

Leaves an instant feeling of lightness and well-being on application. This patented formula with 8 plant extracts help to streamline hips and thighs and reduces the appearance of cellulite, ensuring smoother, more toned skin with 'high definition' results.

Do we like?: 

Not sure about the instant feeling of well-being part but this product from Clarins is pretty darn good. For those of you cynical or unconvinced by cellulite products, then we say try this. A grainy consistency that tingles on application - sure that's a sign it's working - it quickly soaks in. Skin noticeably smoother on first use. And together with regular excerise and massage as instructed by packet, we found this worked. Silhouette more defined and cellulite reduced. Hurrah!

Estee Lauder Body Performance ANTI-CELLULITE/ANTI-FLUID Advanced Visible Contouring Serum

Estee Lauder Body Performance ANTI-CELLULITE/ANTI-FLUID Advanced Visible Contour
What does it promise to do?: 

Within hours of application, skin is invigorated with our exclusive thermogenic complex. Encourages skin's natural peak performance as it works with a natural skin enzyme for a slimmer, more sculpted-looking surface. With continued use, it helps skin reinforce its natural support to help keep the look of cellulite from resurfacing.

Do we like?: 

Smells fresh and almost medicinal. Skin tingles when first applied which MUST mean it's working (skin certainly feels and looks noticeably firmer and tighter immediately after use). Sustained the firmer look and cellulite less noticeable after just one week. No greasy residue which meant dressing can be done immediately. Brilliant and highly recommended for anyone looking to tackle cellulite.

What does it promise to do?: 

NIVEA has discovered a new concentrated formula which combines the powerful active ingredients Lotus Extract and L-Carnitine. Proven results in just 10 days.

Do we like?: 

It's got a lovely smell thanks to the Lotus extract and feels cooling on skin. It's a gel so not as oily as some cellulite products and quicky soaks into skin. However, effects on dimpled skin? Barely noticeable improvement in skin tone and dimples after the promised ten days.

Liz Earle Energising Hip and Thigh Gel
What does it promise to do?: 

Massage daily with our unique blend of naturally active ingredients to help improve appearance of hips and thighs. This deliciously scented body gel also helps relieve puffy, swollen areas prone to fluid retention.

Do we like?: 

This is completely non-sticky. Great natural ingredients give a fresh, zesty smell.  This light gel does improve appearance of cellulite but it does take a few months and isn't immediate.
