Lierac, France
Building on the colossus that is the French beauty industry, Lierac has
continued to develop non-evasive skincare solutions since it launched in
1977. With clinical studies on over 500 women proving their products
actually do work, everyday concerns such as stretch marks, cellulite and a
sagging bust are problems of the past.
The Lierac Morphoslim works to combat
unsightly ‘orange peel’ and improve the smoothness of the hips and thighs.
The very first body-contouring formula with the ability to transform
cellulite into firmness, this non-sticky gel does produce noticeably
smoother and firmer skin in just two weeks. If teamed with regularly
brushing, the combination of active caffeine and glaucine considerably
reduces the appearance of unwanted dimples.
