Cellulite is the bain of many women’s lives. It’s as irritating as that piece of hair that just won’t stay straight (despite the hours you spend ironing it), and is incredibly difficult to get rid of - until now.

I always thought cellulite occurred from either losing or gaining a large amount of weight, but having maintained a healthy weight for years, I was irritated when I found out I had it a few years ago.
You can imagine my delight on hearing Nivea had a new product that targeted cellulite with results in just 10 days. Despite being rather sceptical at first – after various oils and creams in the past failed to get rid of my silvery-grey lines – I used the product religiously.

The result? Let’s just say, Nivea is my knight in shining armour. After just 3 days of using the cream, I could see results. The scars I thought I was stuck with for life started to become thinner and shallower in days.

After the sixth day of using the serum, my cellulite had darkened, and the almost shiny element of the lines had disappeared. They sank-in to the colour of my skin, and now appear as slight imperfections as opposed to dark lines.

The serum is made with natural lotus extract and L-Carnitine – a naturally occurring amino acid that breaks-down fat. The idea behind it is to stop new fat cells from forming and to break-down existing ones.

Dewy on application, the serum takes a while to sink-in, but works wonders. The instructions say to apply for an intensive treatment when needed. This is one product that will definitely be added to my beauty regime.
