There are many different varieties of cellulite creams on the market today. Choosing one that will be effective for you can be difficult, especially with such a large range. Probably the best way to determine whether a particular lotion will be effective is to take a close look at the ingredients.

Creams can be divided into three types based on their main ingredients. Lotions containing caffeine utilize this ingredient to burn fat and eliminate built up fluid in the skin and fat cells. Creams containing Retinol are designed to target cellulite by stimulating the production of collagen in the skin. This makes the skin thicker and less prone to dimples. Finally, Aminophylline creams burn away the cellulite fat.

When examining the cellulite cream ingredients take note of the levels of each active ingredient. It goes without saying that a cream containing high levels of Retinol will be more effective than a lotion with a lesser amount. You may need to try each of the three types of lotions before you find one that is effective on your cellulite.
