Nivea My Silhouette

I was wondering if anyone has used this product yet and what they thought of it. I heard about it from a friend, and am in the first week of trying it. Not seeing much of a difference yet, but hearing good things about it.

Honestly, I don't believe in these products. I don't believe there is a magic formula for anything, from cellulite, strech marks or weight loss. I think massage makes the most difference with these products, so massage them in with long, sweeping motions in direction towards your heart.  Good luck.

I've almost finished with my bottle. I have noticed a bit of cellulite reduction. (But, that could have simply been due to doing more yoga.) I don't think there's any magic cellulite-away cream, pill, or whatever out there. If anything's going to make a difference, like vesnaneresa said, it's going to be the massaging action.

Most of these products contain caffiene and polyphenols, such as seaweed, and what they do is they dehydrate your skin so that it looks more tightened up and firm. As soon as you put on a regular moisturizer, however,  whatever minimal 'slimming' effect they had, the skin will plump right back up.

To be honest, your regular moisturizers, especially ones with cocoa butter, are a much better investment. They'll improve your skin's elasticity in the long run, so as you gradually lose weight, you're less likely to develop saggy skin and super visible stretch-marks. But there's no topical product that can make you look slimmer for longer than temporary.

Cellulite is fat, plain and simple, and no product penetrates deeply enough to change its composition. After all, these products are meant to reduce the appearance of cellulite, not get rid of it. And the minimal stuff they do for cellulite's appearance... well,  its incredibly minimal and temporary. You'll get more of an effect from sitting in a sauna 10 minutes every day than using these products.

You can't get rid of cellulite until you lose weight and even then, avoid 'white' carbs. Potatoes, bread, sugars and fatty foods affect the chemical composition of the way the body stores their excesses. 

If you eat more water-rich food, cut the fat, and tone up (not just lose weight), regardless of your age and body-type, I guarantee the cellulite will start to disappear within a month... and for good.

I agree. But like exercising you still have to do it even after you lost the desired weight.  So you must also buy the product over again.

I tried it......it smells good and made my skin real soft.... but that's about it.

A friend is using it for stretch marks (she is thin, no cellulitis) and it doesn't work, looks like just another overpriced body lotion.

I also noticed that some slimming lotions and gels give a heating sensation when rubbed on the skin but that's not the fat going away it's just the camphor in the formula.

I tried it and it smells awesome and makes you skin feel cool and fresh.  It made my skin feel a little tighter while usinging it but as soon as I stoped it went back to normal.
