Many cellulite treatment creams have been manufactured and touted to change your life. But this cannot happen through magic. In fact, it is science at work, pure and simple. Let’s get started with the active ingredients which after all are the core of any cellulite treatment cream.

1. Aminophylline: Amoniphylline is one of the ingredients for creams. It is a descendant of theophylline which is basically a dilator of the bronchioles in the lungs. After being tested with a sample consisting of 35 women, only three reported any change in the way they looked after a two times a day application routine.
2. Caffeine: This one is said to help in the firming of skin. When it is ingested right through the skin rather than taken in drinks, caffeine is said to produce healthier skin. After tests though, it appears that no one knows for certain whether it effects any change in the look of user’s body.
3. Lemon oil- lemon essential oils have for a long time been used to fight cellulite. It is chemically comprised of citronella, limonene, citral and phellandrene. It ia natural antibiotic, anti-sclerotic among other non-skin benefiting agents.
4. Aloe Vera: this is a common skin conditioner.
5. Retinol: this is a kind of Vitamin A that is believed to be able to penetrate the skin and do repair work beneath the top skin layer. This ability comes from its rare molecular structure that is small enough for that penetration. It is known to cause some irritation to the skin once applied, something manufacturers of creams do not tell you. In some approved formulas, the irritation causing retinoid acid is not produced until the skin metabolises retinol. That way, there is little worry over irritation.
6. L-Carnitine: this active ingredient is said to help up the body’s metabolic rate as well as reduce the capacity for cells to store fats.
7. Herbal extracts: most herbal extracts help in detoxification.
8. Vitamin E and C: Vitamin E dissolves in fats and is a detoxifier and protects blood vessels, guaranteeing circulation. Vitamin C is a superb motivator of the body in collagen synthesis.
9. Algae: extracts from algae assist in collagen production.
10. Silicon resin: it allows for ease of application of creams and little else.
11. Seaweed: this is good for absorbing fats on the skin but not under the skin.
12. Kukui nut oil: used with moisturisers as well as cellulite reduction creams, Kukui nut oil originates in Hawaii and boosts the body ability to produce collagen. It is good with dry skin

The one important thing in the consideration for what ingredients you should hunt for in a cream is the combination. It is best to keep yourself abreast with information on these matters. Cellulite is not a new thing and it draws a lot of attention. This way, you get to hear what is said about the ingredient that you have always used. You can even get information on an active ingredient that will make you ditch that old formula for a new one.
