Amazing
-05.11.13
Quick Take: hydrating, creamy
The cellulite on my thighs is hereditary, same as mom and grandma. I exercise a lot and am not overweight. I have tried all the cellulite creams out there and they did nothing. I tried this after reading the reviews but expected nothing. I have been using for 5 days and when I woke up this morning I couldn't believe how smooth my thighs looked. The cellulite isn't gone but I'm hoping within a couple weeks I will see even more difference. I apply twice a day. Maybe with a spray tan I will actually be able to wear above the knee shorts again!

Noticeable results
-05.07.13
Quick Take: hydrating, scented
I am almost 34 and am thin but have hereditary cellulite and have hit the point where I am developing loose skin in areas (gravity is no longer my friend). I have used other creams for cellulite which would tighten the skin for the short term but not really do much for the actual problem, I work out, eat clean most of the time and have even consulted my dermatologist about what can be done for the cellulite so when I tried this cream my level of expectation was not that high.
I initially recieved a sample of this with one of my orders and took it on vacation with me where I tried it, under the glaring and unflattering lights of a hotel bathroom. I have to say that I was very, very impressed. My loose skin was tighter, and even under those horrible lights, my rippling thigh skin appeared much smoother. I bought a full sized bottle and have nothing but great things to say about this product. I have been applying it as suggested and I do so twice a day and I have noticed pretty great results. I have even been applying it on my upper arms, chest and stomach. I have stretch marks on the front of my thighs and have been mixing it with Bio Oil there and that has been working very well for me.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who just needs a little tighter skin and doesn't have a ton of cellulite. I would go so far as to call this my HG in terms of skin care products.

I"ve been using it for 3 weeks and have not seen any change or reduction. My skin does not feel firmer.
I know that most products take a month to begin seeing results, but so far it's been nothing. I am going to wait another two weeks before I give my final verdict.

Good but not miraculous
-04.13.13
Quick Take: scented
I 've been using a deluxe sample that I received from Sephora. After a few days, I have noticed a diminishment of the appearance of cellulite--but it's a diminshment, not a complete eradication. That said, I'm happy with that. I exercise for 60 minutes 5x a week, eat reasonably well, but have always had visible cellulite, even as a teen. The cream doesn't smell very good, but the smell does dissipate. A few minutes after I put it on, my legs feel funny, as if I've put icy hot on my legs. That too goes away after a few minutes.

does nothing for me + bruised inner thighs
-04.12.13
Quick Take: tingling, cooling
I have fairly normal skin and now i am using deluxe sample of this since i don't want to invest big money in...
I use it once a night every night for fives days so far... I don't see anything noticeable yet but my thighs become extra vulnerable... and start bruising...
i usually exercise every day and just want to use body lift as an add on...
i guess if i m exercising pretty high cardio and weight lifting, i shouldn't use this... because my inner thighs are bruised as a peach at this moment :(

Perfect butt and thighs

Well I workout everyday so I am toned, but I had a little stubborn cellulite under my butt cheeks and literally after using this after 3 days it went away. Keep in mind that I exercise and eat healthy.

Great skin toning product
-01.02.13
Quick Take: skin toning, firming
I am a yoga instructor does yoga every day, runs a few times a week and eats right (I eat meat though). And I have been very careful about my skin since I was younger. But now I am 36 years old and it seems like I can no longer fight against skin's aging with natural remedies and exercise, and cheap skincare products. So I decided to buy Clarins.
I have been using this product for about 3~4 months now and I am satisfied with what I have been seeing so far. One big no-no sign for me was skin on my knees. When I bent over and looked at my knees closely during yoga practice, I started noticing the skin right above my knees was getting saggier and saggier. But now it's definitely looking better and improved.
I am not sure about cellulite though. I don't have much cellulite yet, but my butt is of course looser and softer than I want it to be. And I am not seeing big difference on that. However, the area between thighs and butt is definitely smoother. Maybe I should continue using since butt has more fat than other areas therefore it needs more time and effort....?
One thing: If you decide to buy this product, I would say follow the instruction. I don't lie down, but I massage the gel into my legs well and upward like the instruction says until the small particles disappear. I think many people don't take it as a big deal, but I think it makes difference.

anticipating some result..
-12.11.12
Quick Take: scented
I have been using this for two weeks. I use it after showering everyday. It smells like raw mint, a bit weird. I use it on my arm and leg. Feels very cool after applying and massaging the gel cream on my body. I like the feeling. It absorbs very well, but it's a little bit dry to use it in winter.

Does not Do as Promised
-11.09.12
I think the cream was ok... however, i did not see any results at all. I am an exercise geek, i workout like crazy and i don't eat junk food all the time and i still did not see any results on my cellulite after a month of using it everyday. Will not be re-purchasing.

Very Strong Smell
-10.09.12
Quick Take: very perfume-y
I had to return this product because the smell was so strong it triggered my asthma. It smelled like being smothered in roses. I was hoping the smell would settle down after a while but it never did. I used this only on my thighs and could smell it at night through the sheets and blankets on my bed! Such a shame since I was looking forward to the fabulous results I'd read about in other reviews.
Also, the texture of this stuff is weird. It is not lotion. It is like a goo with beads in it, kind of like a body scrub.

It is the final touch for your skin
-08.22.12
Quick Take: hydrating, firming, organic
After 3 years using this product, I have to say it is an expensive gift for your skin but I believe my body deserves it, it contains 8 plants extracts and the Dr. Oz (That show was about to reduce or eliminate cellulite) with a dermatologist approved it like a good organic body cream, obviously is not a miracle bottle, you have to combine with balance diet + exercise+ drink water, no soda etc, and you feel the difference between a cheap product and this one by far. at least it is made 100% in France.

Visible Results, Very Smooth Skin
-08.06.12
Quick Take: scented, creamy
Of course, this is not a magic product.
However, I must say paired with diet and exercise, I have noticed some significant improvement on my cellulite. I do take the time to massage morning and night- and I think it's absolutely worth the 3 minutes you put aside to do it right. My skin is dramatically smoother on my upper thighs.
I would recommend it.

Been using this product on and off for years. I can certainly tell when I am not using it! It really controls the ripples, but it doesn't eliminate them entirely.

tingly
-04.03.12
Quick Take: scented, tingly, textured
I purchased this product based on a recommendation form a freind. It is tingly and textured, with an odd scent, not unpleasant. The instructions are crazy detailed, depending upon what results your want. I do not have the time to go through all the weird positions and contortions they recommend you doing while straegically applying the cream. (literally, get down on the floor, bend your leg , etc etc) I will continue to use product, simply applying in a circular motion, and hope =for hte best. Ive only been using it a couple of weeks, so it hasnt really had a good chance. Also, the container is not that big, and if you have several locations like I do in which you want to apply it - and you like it, be ready for a big investment. Unless a miracle happens, I will not purchase again. If it sounds too good to be true....
