I Can Feel It!
-06.12.13
Quick Take: hydrating, creamy, smooth
I been using this for a week now and I can feel it work. In the morning I can feel the tightness of my tummy. So now I introduce this product to my aunt and now I am going to order one for her as well. Her first impression of this was she thought it made her tummy soft. So I hope the more I use this the better results I get.

I wanted to like this so much!
-06.10.13
I love the vegan, all natural aspects and I really, really wanted to love this product but it just doesn't work for cellulite--on me, anyway. I am 5'6" and 115 lbs and I am an athlete. I am in very good shape but, like most women I know, I have some cellulite on my thighs and I thought this might do the trick. Although it is moisturizing, it didn't diminish the cellulite as far as I can tell. I'm going to keep using it just as an experiment but, so far, nada. I do have a trick for the other girls who might be in the same boat as me: this is only temporary but if you just need to tighten and smooth everything up for a couple of hours for an event or something, you can use your used coffee grinds, put them in foil or saran wrap or a warm damp towel and wrap your problem area--try to make sure they're as warm as you can tolerate without burning yourself and don't leave it too long because you don't want to stain your skin. I do about 15-20 min. It works beautifully (if temporarily). The downside is it's messy but it's also very inexpensive! It's the caffeine that does it. Ok, over'n out!

-06.03.13
Quick Take: hydrating
This is the best product I've tried for cellulite. I've been using it for two weeks. I see a big difference in my tummy, thighs, and legs. I stil have enough product for another two weeks or more, but I'm reedy to repurchase. You will not be disappointed.

Does not work
-05.27.13
Quick Take: creamy
1. Tube was half empty- but is normal. All you buy is always in bigger container.
2. Does not work like promised to take inches . ONLY has a good feeling, skin is soft like I would use $10 moisturizer. Just wasted $58.

Does absolutely nothing. I used it every day for 45 days and didn't see the slightest hint of improvement. I returned it.

It works.
-05.13.13
I was very pleased with this product. While I think it is expensive, I found it worth every penny. It visibly reduced the appearance of my cellulite and firmed the skin on my thighs very nicely. It also appears that my thighs are slightly smaller.

Love this stuff!
-05.02.13
I honestly wasn't expecting much from this cream and yet I was pleasantly surprised! I work out and stay in very good shape, but there are problem areas that I can't ever seem to get rid of without loosing more weight than I would like. I have been using this on my thighs and love handles for about two weeks. WOW what a difference! Much firmer and more toned. Those areas are slimmer and there are much fewer dimples and bumps. My only two problems with this product is the price and the amount. They either need to give you more for that price because I really feel this wont last me a month, or they need to lower the price so I can purchase enough to last me a month. Otherwise this product is a winner for me! :)

Softer, smoother skin
-04.28.13
Quick Take: hydrating, creamy
I've been using this for about a month and I really like the feel of this cream. Have I lost an inch? I doubt it. Is my skin softer, smoother, and more toned looking? Absolutely! So, yes, it works for the firming and toning part - no inch loss so far for me. I will use it all up, and may even get it again.

In My Routine
-04.21.13
Quick Take: creamy
I haven't given it an entire month yet, but I am hopeful. I don't know if it is psychological but I feel like I am starting to tell a difference. I use it under my chin and while I am not entirely perfect, I feel that it is helping to firm up. My only issue is that it adds one more step to my nightly routine which is getting lengthy, but I suppose getting results and maintaining great skin is worth it.

An interesting product.
-04.17.13
When I heard about this, I thought it would be weird. But i decided to give it a try. I didn't really get to experience what this lotion does as I was also dieting and exercising when using it. So that was kind of a bust on my part.

Really works
-04.04.13
While this product won't magically make you skinny, it does really make you look more toned, reducing cellulite and firming your skin. If you want to start working out but find that the time it takes for the results to show is discouraging, I recommend this. When combined with exercise, it makes it look like you are losing weight faster. I also find this very effective for firming small areas like under the chin, you can really see the difference. The results aren't permanent however, you have to use it to maintain it. I wish it were a little less expensive.

It's Working
-03.29.13
Quick Take: creamy
I have been using this product for the past month and can definitely tell a difference. The tube is larger in person than it looks on the site and lasts longer than what the feedback is saying. I'm still on my first tube. I will be buying another one.

Doesn't do anything
-03.22.13
Quick Take: a waste of money
This product does not do anything more than if you rubbed hand lotion on. I am at my correct weight and wasn't looking for weight loss. I have a bit of loose skin from losing weight and I was hoping that this would firm it up at least a little. I almost never return a product, but I did return this. It was a big price to pay for something that does nothing.

Still Waiting
-03.20.13
Quick Take: creamy, non irritating
I ordered this product a few weeks ago. I must admit, I have not been using it on a consistent basis and I have not been working out because I have been recovering from surgery. However, I look forward to seeing some results when I get back into working out and apply the cream religiously. If it does not work, I will not buy again.

I am very disappointed with this product as it has not done anything that it claimed on the packaging. Would not recommend especially at this price.

Lobsters DO move out of their shells...molting!
-03.08.13
Ok, I haven't tried this cream but I just had to correct a previous reviewer who said this was a scam because everyone knows that lobsters don't change shells. Here's a fun fact, lobsters molt. Their shells are hard and do not grow with them so when they get too small, the lobster must move out of his old shell and then grow a new one. This process is called molting, look it up! I have a degree in Biology, but it's not necessary when you can just do a quick search online to tell you if these Dermadoctor people are trying to pull a quick one on you or not. :)
