Products for the Treatment of Cellulite

Cellulite refers to fat deposits that appear beneath the surface of the skin. Common ingredients found in cellulite treatment products include caffeine, theobromine, pentoxifylline, beta-agonists, adrenaline, amino acids, ginkgo biloba, rutin and Indian chestnut, according to Medical News Today. Although cellulite treatment products are available over-the-counter, the effects have not been evaluated by the FDA for validity.

This product uses seaweed extracts and caffeine to reduce the appearance of cellulite on the body. After application, your skin is intended to look tighter with fewer dimples. The retinol formula is included as a way to improve skin elasticity. Rub on the oil-free cream gel twice a day. Allow the gel to dry before putting on any clothing or other skin care products. You are expected to see results after eight weeks of daily application.

Instead of a treatment gel or lotion, you can use a massage oil to combat cellulite. This product contains a blend of essential oils and herbal extracts to help break down fat deposits beneath the surface of the skin. As you rub the oil into the skin, the manufacturer claims you are helping improve circulation and promote the drainage of toxins. Ingredients found in the massage oil include lemon oil, cypress oil, green tea, red pepper extract, sweet almond oil and seaweed extract.
