Most of us know what cellulite is, but let me assure you that it is NOT a disease. Still, I managed to find a review on cellulite published in a relatively obscure medical journal (European journal of dermatology and venereology, 2000) 14: 251–262). Despite the lack of recognition of cellulite in the medical field, this “condition” managed to gather a few medical-sounding names, like gynoid lipodystrophy, nodular liposclerosis, oedemato-fibrosclerotic panniculopathy and panniculosis. It has also been called “mattress skin” and orange peel to describe the superficial undulations of the skin.

Cellulite will happen to most women, so it is not an abnormal condition. As we age, our skin is no longer able to stretch smoothly over subcutaneous fat deposits, and that is NOT a disease. But just as we don’t like wrinkles, we don’t like cellulite, a non-medical condition that will affect most of us sooner or later. Is there anything that can be done? Cosmetic surgery can alleviate the problem by either injecting fat in the “valleys” or doing liposuction in the “hills”. Surgery may help, or not, but any effect islikely to be temporary, and the risks of surgery are unavoidable.

There is something else that can be done without the risk and expense of cosmetic surgery. You can try to get that dormant, subcutaneous fat back into your body metabolism. You can also increase the elasticity of your skin so that it will be able to cope better with the increased fat volume. SAS cellulite control cream targets both structural problems.

What is so special about SAS cellulite control cream 2.0?

The actives!

Dermal respiratory factor (see above): wake up those sleepy fat cells!

Forskolin: activates a lipase, a hormone that breaks down fats (hormone sensitive lipase, activated via cyclic AMP).

Sea kelp bioferment: full of minerals and nutrients to help rekindle skin elasticity

Caffeine: get rid of some water and wake up sleepy cells, acts directly on fat cells by interacting with receptors and breaking down fats for local respiration or to be exported for use by the muscles.

Retinyl acetate: accelerate skin renewal.

Acetyl carnitine: mobilize the fat by increasing its use by mitochondria.

Hyaluronic Acid: keep your skin young and elastic. The saikosaponin and other saponins present in Bupleurum falcatum seem to benefit cell metabolism and increase synthesis of matrix proteins. The extract also has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Coenzyme Q10: enhances respiration

Liquorice extract: anti-inflammatory and lots more The glycosides of saponins in horse chestnut extract have strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. They also act on connective tissue, so important in cellulite, and they strengthen fragile capilliary blood vessels (helping to prevent edema).

Penetration of cellulite control cream: Because the target of the actives is subcutaneous fat, it is a good idea to increase penetration of the actives. I suggest that you apply the cream after a shower or bath, because hydrated skin will be more permeable to water-soluble actives. Also, wrap the treated area with some kitchen plastic film, and you can even use a hand massager.

Massage Cellulite Control Cream into problem areas twice a day. Effect will not be immediate and may take as many as six weeks to appear.

Notes: Use our Pumpkin Enzyme Peel on affected areas prior to use of Cellulite Control Cream for added effect. This cream is not suitable for people diagnosed with hyperthyroidism; please talk to your doctor if you have any doubts. We do not recommend use of Cellulite Control Cream during pregnancy as it contains Caffeine.
