A test done on ccellulite soliutions- interesting results!

Nine out of ten women have cellulite, and nearly as many want to get rid of it.
Willing to try just about anything, it seems, we pummel it, suction it, cream it
and occasionally even exercise it. Recently, more and more of us have been
taking supplements, hoping they'll do the trick.
But does anything really
help? To find out, we spoke to nutritionists, doctors, trainers -- and even the
former longtime makeup artist on Baywatch. Along the way, we came up with the
best up-to-the-minute plan for getting a slinkier silhouette by summer.


These are their results:

Yves Saint Laurent Absolus Contours Body Slimming Creme-Gel
Cost: $45 for 6.8 ounces; at department and specialty storesClaim: "From
the first week you will begin to see improvement in skin's texture and
elasticity. With continued use ... your body seems resculpted."Panelists with
Positive Results: 0 Quotable: "It was really greasy. And though it did
moisturize, it took several minutes to absorb."

Biotherm Celluli-Zone
Cost: $45 for 6.7 ounces; (888) BIOTHERMClaim: "This gel cream works
instantly and over time to smooth skin's surface and minimize the appearance of
unsightly, dimpled skin. With continued use you'll see significant results on
targeted problem areas."Panelists with Positive Results: 1Quotable: The tester
lost two centimeters on her thigh, but her cellulite looked the same. "Not
enough change to be scientifically significant," said Dr. Bank.

Guinot Contouring Complex
Cost: $36 for 6.7 ounces; (800) 444-6621Claim: "Right from the first few
days the silhouette looks more slender, more svelte. After fifteen days of use,
unsightly bulges have progressively diminished."Panelists with Positive Results:
0Quotable: "It felt nice going on, but had no effect."

Dior Svelte Perfec
Cost: $45 for 6.7 ounces; at fine department storesClaim: "Visible results
begin to occur after the first week ... within a short period of time, the
silhouette looks sleek. The appearance of cellulite is lessened."Panelists with
Positive Results: 1Quotable: "The skin seemed smoother," one tester said. Dr.
Bank was skeptical: "The improvement was slight. Less salt or more exercise
could have done it."
