Just open a women’s magazine to find plenty of advertisements for creams and lotions that “model” the body and eliminate cellulite, promising tempting results. And that’s when the inevitable question arises: should I buy one?

While there is an option of every budget, some reducing creams can be really expensive. This leads to another question: what if I spend all that money and then don’t see any results?

The Perfect Ingredient Virtually all recognized laboratorios have a line or product to treat cellulite and reduce fat. That’s why it is so difficult to choose, since they all offer the same: eliminate fatty deposits, stimulate circulation, and dissolve cellulite.

According to some specialists in dermatology, creams that may have some effect are those with methylxanthine, a chemical found in some plants and used in medicines, although also present in several drinks like chocolate, coffee, and cola drinks. It is also used in medications for asthma and bronchial affections, since it helps dilate contracted airways.

The study “Modification of subcutaneous adipose tissue by a methylxanthine formulation: a double-blind controlled study,” published in PubMed.gov, showed that creams with caffeine, and alkaloid belonging to the group of methylxanthines, significantly reduce the thickness of the adipose tissue around the body within two monts. More concentrated creams produce better results in areas like the hips and triceps.
