As soon as those notorious “orange peel” dimples appear on your thighs and buttocks, the search begins for methods of fighting this nemesis. There are great amounts of funds spent on various procedures and anti-cellulite products, which are now quite plentiful on the beauty market.
Not all of them live up to the money spent and the hopes placed on them. Several useful tips and a review of the top and most effective options will help avoid disappointment and make the right choice.
How to Choose
Everyone wants to find the best anti-cellulite product that will help get rid of this affliction quickly and harmlessly. The problem is that there are way too many of them on the modern market. On the one hand, such a wide range of products offers freedom of choice. On the other, it complicates the search, but there are ways to make it easier.
This disease has four stages, each of which requires specific anti-cellulite products.
- Stage 1
The skin loses its elasticity, the “orange peel” is only visible when pressing on the problem area, and body volume gradually begins increasing. At this stage, the use of topical cosmetic anti-cellulite products will suffice: use creams, gels, scrubs, and wraps.
- Stage 2
Fat deposits form pronounced tubercles on the skin. This is when you need to start thinking about additional procedures such as massage. You can start looking for folk remedies for cellulite.
- Stage 3
The “orange peel” is already impossible to miss. Growing subcutaneous fat nodules pinch the nerves, and the skin loses sensitivity. Furthermore, muscle tissue stops contracting properly and becomes coarser. At this stage, you should look at the rankings of the best anti-cellulite salon procedures, switch to a diet, and start exercising. You can start taking dietary supplements.
- Stage 4
Only pharmaceutical products can tackle advanced cellulite, and even then, they have to be potent enough to start the healing process from within. Topical cosmetics are useless here. The skin becomes like a thick sponge, very cold to the touch, and acquires a bluish hue. Blood circulation disorders become pathological, nerve endings are affected, and muscle tissue atrophies.
It is best to consult a specialist when choosing a method to combat cellulite. But if you have to do it yourself, a small ranking of the best anti-cellulite products and a brief review of them will help with this difficult task:
- Guam is a line of products from the Italian company Lacote. These include various day and night creams and gels, wraps, pencils, masks, and scrubs, separate for the abdomen and separate for the hips and buttocks.
- Kelp wraps have long been recognized as the best in the fight against cellulite. Wraps with these can be made at home with powdered brown algae from the pharmacy. However, salons use a ready-made special formula with an enhanced effect.
- Floresan Fitness Body is another line of cosmetics developed for fighting the “orange peel.” Domestic brands offer a wide range of warming and cooling gels and creams.
- Essential oils of citrus fruits (grapefruit, sweet and bitter orange, mandarin, lemon) are added to all anti-cellulite wraps, as well as homemade creams and baths.
- Eufillin is a pharmaceutical ointment that dilates blood vessels. It is actively used by many to improve subcutaneous blood circulation.
- Propolis is a natural product that can be used to combat cellulite both topically (as the base for creams and wraps) and internally, with a course of general recovery, which is also beneficial.
- Honey is another beekeeping product that is actively used in the topical fight against this scourge. It is the main component in massages and wraps.
- Inneov Cellulite from the laboratories of L’Oréal and Nestle is a dietary supplement in capsules for fighting cellulite.
- Thyroidine is a very popular and effective hormonal drug which should only be prescribed by a specialist.
- Thermogenic wraps with mustard or red pepper: despite the unpleasant sensations during the procedure, these wraps treat the deepest layers of the skin.
Use this universal top, which compiles the most effective anti-cellulite products, as you try out new products and cosmetics for the good of your body.

Professional anti-cellulite cosmetics are expensive but effective. You can always choose more budget-friendly options, but do not expect miracles from them.
Scrubs
Anti-cellulite scrubs are also cosmetics, like creams and gels. However, they cannot be classified as superficial, because they are able to penetrate the deeper layers of the epidermis. Therefore, their effects will be more pronounced and noticeable. They exfoliate dead skin particles from the body’s surface, which has a very positive effect on the condition of problem areas.
