    There are a lot of creams on the market that claim to reduce cellulite, but do they really work? We put bh’s Nat and bh’s Di on a one-month trial of Elixia® BodyShaper Cellulite Contour Crème to find out if it was really worth the beauty bucks. Here’s what they had to say…

    Nat’s review of Elixia® BodyShaper Cellulite Contour Crème  

    “I was a little skeptical about this product before I started using it as I had previously tried an anti-cellulite cream from a different brand and didn’t really see any results, but boy did Elixia proved me wrong!”¨I hate my legs, especially my thighs, as they are very bumpy and wobbly due to a lack of exercise and cellulite. I used this anti-cellulite cream every morning for about a month and noticed a difference after a week. After 2 – 3 weeks my boyfriend even commented on how smooth and toned they looked, I was amazed with the result!”¨The consistency of the cream is very light so a lot goes a long way and it rubs in really easily (even better than my usual moisturiser actually). It dries quite quickly and also smells light and fresh without being overpowering or unpleasant. ”¨This is possibly the best product I’ve ever used and even though it’s more than I would usually spend on a cream, the results spoke for themselves so I’d definitely purchase it again.”

    Di’s review of Elixia® BodyShaper Cellulite Contour Crème

    “I have always been skeptical about the benefits of cellulite creams. Hope in a jar is how I have always viewed them so I was a little surprised when bh’s Deb asked if I would take the 4-week Elixia challenge. But being the team player I am, I said yes of course! The first thing I did was to read the instructions, which advised me to apply the cream to cellulite-ridden areas (my words not actually on the instructions) twice a day after cleansing my skin. The second thing I did was to decide to only apply this once a day after my morning shower – otherwise it was going to be too hard and too time consuming and I would give up without finishing the tube. On day one, after showering, I applied this cream to the back of my upper thighs where all my cellulite likes to hang out. I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the scent of the cream, how quickly and easily it was absorbed, and that it left no greasy residue. After day two, I was a convert. I could actually, really, truly feel my skin tightening where I had applied the cream. After week one I noticed a difference in the appearance of my cellulite. There did not seem to be quite as much of it. I thought I must be convincing myself of this and that the cream could not really be making that much difference. Weeks two, three and four proved that THIS CREAM ACTUALLY WORKS. The skin on my thighs is much firmer and my cellulite seems to be less obvious to the eye and it seems as if there is less of it. I will admit that I have also been on a bit of a diet and exercise program, which may well be contributing to the appearance of my cellulite, but I really believe that the Elixia BodyShaper Cellulite Contour Crème has made a huge difference to the look and feel of my cellulite areas and I definitely plan to keep using it.”

    Do you have cellulite? Where are your worst cellulite-prone areas?

    Sounds great! But it's so expensive :S

    Gormanj01 3 Nov 2011 1:38 AM

    I got super excited about this and then saw the price... $99!! Not student budget friendly... But Christmas is coming up so maybe I'll get lucky with some gift vouchers and money and see what I can do.

    Yes I am prone to a bit of cellulite - I hate that stuff so that's one of my incentives of keeping fit, healthy and eating well - to try and ward it off as much as possible! If I pull my skin really tight on my upper legs I can see dimples. I find the more muscular I am the harder it is to find! Jogging really does it for me but I love attacking cellulite from all angles so I currently use Dr. Lewinn's Tone Up on my tum and thighs. I can only hope it does a little atleast toward keeping it to a minimum. I love the sound of the Elixia one mentioned in the article!

    my thighs have cellulite but it's not a really big deal so i haven't tried anything yet

    As with Di and Nat, my thighs have cellulite, and I am so skeptical about 'firming' creams. If it truly works, then I can't wait to try it!

    I was wondering when this was going to make it to BH to be trialled, it's been all over the home page for the past week! I've never tried a cream to treat cellulite before, always just relied on exercise and diet ... which obviously if you'd seen my thights is NOT working! I think it might be time to try this Elixir!!

    Edeline 3 Nov 2011 12:34 AM

    Wow. If this works...I NEED IT BADLY.

    aleksandra 3 Nov 2011 12:27 AM

    I have some on my upper thighs as well, it seems to be the most common place women get it from reading the above comments. I have tried dry body brushing before, but it can be really time consuming and it is one of those things where if you aren't doing it religiously every day, you aren't going to see long term results. Might have to give this cream a try to get ready for summer!

    Though I am quite petite, I do have some cellulite on my thighs due to my addiction to junk food, particularly fried chicken and my lack of exercise (I work in an office so sit all day). I don't use any cellulite creams but this one sounds amazing. Might add this to my wish list for now due to the high price tag.

    Dairy foods are suppose to be one of the worst offenders but everything in moderation I say unless your on a mission, I have a few strectch marks but cellulite I don't have a problem.

    SimSta 2 Nov 2011 11:14 PM

    Hey Grofton, I too just posted a comment but it didn't come up, so here it is again sorry if it comes up twice. I have horrendous cellulite, this product sounds too good to be true but the reviews prove otherwise! I'm such a sceptic when comes to cellulite, I don't think anything would work on my stubborn cottage cheese thighs! :(

    Jannz 2 Nov 2011 10:05 PM

    I have horrendous cellulite and I think it's genetic because my mum has always had it too. It's not a weight thing because when I as really skinny it actually looked worse. I've got it on the back of my thighs (upper and lower) and bum. Exercise does improve it but I don't do enough. I'm also doing dry body brushing to get the circulation going.

    Sparkles12 2 Nov 2011 9:22 PM

    i have cellulite ... full stop - if this works - i would be the best person to try it on hahaha - perhaps i will do one leg for a month and then see if i can see a difference .......

    Yummii 2 Nov 2011 9:05 PM

    Luckily for me I don't have cellutie - but that might be from me exercising over 10 hours a week :)

    Gofton 2 Nov 2011 8:26 PM

    Okay that was weird, my first comment didn't go through as their was a connection problem, I went back from the disconnection page and my comment wasn't there so I wrote another one, trying to remember what I wrote. That's just weird! Must have happened to MissBaz too! Sorry guys!

    Gofton 2 Nov 2011 8:24 PM

    I read about Elixia recently and if it does what is says, it seems amazing. I want to see a girl who doesn't have cellulite! Mine is at the back of my thighs but I find I can minimise it with lots of walking and lunges, eating no bread and pasta, detoxing and consuming heaps of water and using my Clarins Body Lift every morning. I don't believe one can ever be rid of cellulite and if there is a product that can I need to see it for myself.

    Gofton 2 Nov 2011 8:19 PM

    I read about Elixia recently and would love to try it, just sounds amazing and I want to see a girl who has no cellulite! Mine is just behind my thighs but I find I can minimise it with lots of walking and lunges, eating no bread and pasta and also in detoxing and consuming heaps of water. I don't believe we can get rid of cellulite but if there is a product that can I want to see it for myself that's for sure.

    MissBaz 2 Nov 2011 8:07 PM

    Like Di and Nat I am a little prone to cellulite on my thighs. Whenevee the weight goes on, it goes on my legs and the cellulite comes out. I've never believed in the miracle in a jar too, so the fact this has worked for two of you gives me some hope that miracle is out there. However at $99 a pop thata way too much for me, so I'll stick with what I already do and thats watch my diet and do plenty of walking to help tone the legs and to burn off any extra calories I consume.
