Nivea Good-Bye Cellulite Review

Price: $13.00

Consumer Rating:

Nivea Good-bye Cellulite Cream claims to deliver a smoother and more toned skin after 2 weeks, and to visibly reduce the signs of cellulite after 4 weeks. Manufactured by the Nivea company which has been in existence since 1911, it carries the prestige of being in one of the world's most popular and trusted skin care lines. When used in conjunction with Nivea Good-bye Cellulite Capsules in what has been named the Good-bye Cellulite Program, it promises to get rid of cellulite by providing a two-fold action which works both inside and out.

Product Details

The Good-bye Cellulite Cream is formulated with L-Carnitine, a naturally occurring substance in the body that is involved in fat metabolism. Massaged once or twice daily into the problem areas, Good-bye Cellulite Cream's cooling effect claims to help reduce the appearance of cellulite by increasing blood circulation to the thighs, buttocks, and belly. L-Carnitine, when taken orally as a dietary supplement, has been known to promote weight reduction by aiding the body's fat burning process. However, Nivea fails to provide substantial information as to its effects when applied topically. Moreover, no other ingredients can be found on the product website.

Our thoughts on Nivea Good-Bye Cellulite Cream

Nivea Good-bye Cellulite Cream has enjoyed popularity all over the world as a solution to the perennial problem of cellulite, mainly because of its brand and the company's rigorous advertisement campaign. However, when it comes right down to the facts, this product fails to prove its worth. Aside from L-Carnitine, the other ingredients that comprise Good-bye Cellulite Cream are unknown. In addition, the mechanism of L-Carnitine when applied topically to cellulite areas is not explained on the Nivea website. We deem this very important to at least give consumers a glimpse of how the product works. Also, the website doesn't make mention of any clinical studies done on the product, or even feature user testimonials to substantiate the product's claims.

Positives

• Manufactured by Nivea, a trusted and well-established company in skin care
• Makes use of the natural fat burning properties of L-Carnitine
• Has a relaxing, cooling effect on the skin
  

Negatives

• Other product ingredients are not presented
• Mechanism of L-Carnitine when applied directly to the skin is not explained
• No documented clinical studies to back up product claims
  

Conclusion

Nivea's line of products consistently dominates the skin care market in its 98 years of existence. However, in this day and age wherein science continues to exceed its boundaries, the mere branding of a product is not enough to prove its worth. The lack of substantial information as to how Good-bye Cellulite Cream actually works makes us doubt this product's effectiveness. We believe it is wiser to invest on something that has been tested and proven scientifically to deliver results, rather than gamble on a product that may or may not work.
