Ladies And Cellulite - Are Cellulite Reduction Gels The Answer?

By Sean T Saunders


About 90 percent of all of the women in the world are plagued by the unsightly skin condition called cellulite. As a result of this a whole industry has been created with a view to offer treatments and therapies for cellulite. A range of products which are currently popular for the treatment of the skin problem are many different anti cellulite gels, lotions and creams that are intended to be applied topically to the surface of the skin in problem areas. Anti cellulite gel can be temporarily effectual at reducing the cottage cheese and orange peel look of cellulite.

There are many different types of materials that are used in topical anti cellulite treatments, with the three major ones being lotions, anti-cellulite creams and gels. They most often have the same type of ingredients in them so it is up to you which sort of topical agent you prefer to use. Many women have a preference for anti cellulite gel because it massages into the skin without difficulty and it does not have a greasy or oily texture. These anti-cellulite skin products will only have temporary effects but it can come in useful to make your skin look better when attending a social event or beach party.

Anti cellulite gels can act in a couple of different ways. Some of them include ingredients like the natural body protein collagen which can fill in cellulite dimples and make them less obvious. Other anti cellulite gels make use of ingredients that when absorbed into the subcutaneous layers of skin help metabolize the surplus fats that have accumulated there and are causing the cellulite problem. Any effective topical substance that will work efficiently to improve cellulites appearance must include components to aid blood circulation, anti-inflammatory agents and antioxidants. Substances used in anti cellulite gels are alpha hydroxy acids, aminophylline, Retinol, herbal acids and caffeine.

Caffeine is thought to enhance the blood circulation in the body when applied topically to the skin and this helps your body to eliminate toxic impurities that may cause cellulite build up. Herbal acids like phytic, citric and tartaric acids are obtained from various plants and fruits and are used to improve the texture and tone of cellulite affected skin. Alpha hydroxy acids like glycolic acid and lactic acid can be useful in the treatment of cellulite because they work as an exfoliating agent and eliminate dead cells and detritus from the surface of the skin.

Other potent ingredients that you need to look for in an anti cellulite gel are Retinol and retinoids which are vitamin A derivatives. Retinol is a brand name that is usually seen in the ingredient list for topical cellulite treatments. Retinol can increase the skin's thickness besides enhancing blood flow and circulation within the inner layers of the skin, thus assisting your body to get rid of the fats that are creating cellulite build up. Another powerful substance that is often present in anti cellulite gels is aminophylline. This substance can help to break up accumulated pockets of fat so that they could be flushed out from your body.
