I have always been skeptical of slimming lotions and potions so I hardly spent money on them. To me, diet and exercise are the perfect combination to achieving a svelte body though I am far from that.
However, after reaching the big 3, maintaining my present weight is getting increasingly difficult. After hearing raves from a good friend of mine, who credited this cream for getting her back to her pre-prenancy weight and losing all cellulite gained from her pregnancy, I decided to pay $130 for 2 bottles at DFS airport and started applying it on alternate nights.
Some ugly truths about my body for a better reference. I am petite with an inclination towards a pear-shaped figure. I exercise moderately, once or twice a week. Currently, I am into running and yogalates (fusion of yoga and pilates). I have cellulite on the back of my thighs and hips.
This slimming potion has been raved since it was first launched many years ago. I am not sure if the formula has been changed but the name does sound more fanciful than before.
Recently, this product has also received the Reader's Choice and Editor's Choice under the Body Toning/ anti-cellulite category in the annual Her World awards. You can see the list of winners here.
Pink in colour with tiny beads in it, this refreshing cream-gel texture smells minty. After application, there is a cooling and tingling sensation on the area. However, I do find my hands very dry after using it, most probably by the high alcohol content.
For maximum effectiveness, its recommended to follow their massage steps enclosed in a booklet which comes together with the product. However, my friend did not follow those steps and is still able to achieve the figure she wanted.
I managed to find an excellent video on the Clarins massaging steps
It seems easy enough which is good as the likelihood of people following through the steps would be higher.
In my case, I followed through the massage steps for the first week ( based on my own interpretation, to the best of my knowledge from the pictures and description ) and saw results after 5 applications. I used it on alternate nights and on my exercise days.
My jeans become looser on my thighs and hips! Its been about 1.5 months since my first application and my jeans is still loose, but not anything further than that "after 5 days" effect.
However, I failed to see any toned or vanishing cellulite on my thighs. Note that, I did not follow their massage methods every time but I will try to, if I am not tired or lazy. lol.
Still, I am happy that it did work partially. Read all about the product here.
It retails for $82 at Clarins counters, however you can easily ask for a sample to try out the texture first.
