RE: Wanna Join Me in the Nivea 30 Days to NO CELLULITE Challenge?

Dumb questions.....can you use the patch more than once? Or after one application do you throw it away?

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

OMG I'm buying a bottle tomorrow. How is this formula different than any of the others we've seen before? I thought no cellulite creams are proven to work.

subwolley · Kate Spade

So has anyone had results yet? I still don't believe it works, but I would like to hear everyone's experiences.

FashionPrincess · Hermes

Ok, I'm going to do this after baby comes, so you all have to report back with results/reviews.

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

I went to 2 stores and it was sold out so I got the Loreal Sublime Night Gel.. we'll see.

Kitty · Hermes

I did the patches last night..it felt REALLY weird.

carmenb513 · Coach

I was just able to score some gel at Target!

travelgirl · Kate Spade

I think I saw this stuff at Costco today. It was a value pack of the gel (no wraps) and it was $12.99 for a couple bottles. Just FYI...

Are you guys applying it twice a day? I've been applying it in the morning and night. It seems as though my legs feel sticky and my pants are literally stuck to my skin. This is after standing around in my undies for at least a half hour and in front of the fan at times. Maybe I'll just do it at night.

I feel the same way. I put the gel on three hours ago, and my skirt still sticks to my ass. I don't mind the sticking so much as I'm worried about my clothes being ruined.

I bought 1 pack of the wraps, but I don't think I'm going to stick with those. It isn't worth the cost to me.

Grrr. So I got the patches from planetrx but no gel. They didn't charge me for it, but they also didn't tell me that they weren't going to send them. I don't want to do one without the other. Customer Service was nice, but at this point they don't know why the gel was cancelled.

Please don't hate me... but I have 6 boxes of patches and 6 bottles of gel. I bought out 2 stores... I guess all of the old people in Florida have other worries than cellulite. There's a good chance this stuff won't work and I wasted my money but only time will tell.

I like the lotion. I've been using that for 2 days and while I don't notice any major changes yet, I like it's texture, how it feels cool and makes my skin soft. I have the patches on now for the first time. I couldn't get them to stick to me so I put them on and then put a pair of Spanx Assets on over them and now they stay put perfectly.

I'll report any more progress as it happens.

I just used the gel last night for the first time. I might be imagining things- but my thighs look much much smoother. I'm gonna keep doing it!

I'm almost a week into it and I can't tell anything yet. At least not super noticeable. I'm flying this weekend and not checking bags so I won't be using it. I'm hoping I will start seeing results in the 2nd week.

ha! I have been doing this too! I'm glad I am not the only one, but I agree it is much easier for them to stay on that way biggrin

Kitty · Hermes

Ugh, the gel is really sticky and yucky!!!

How much are y'all using? I don't use a ton and haven't found it to be too sticky. It is a little sticky on my hands, but I just wash them right away.

Either this stuff is working or my cellulite wasn't as bad as I thought. I guess I should have taken a before pic. . .

NCshopper · Hermes

I'm seeing results. Nothing super noticeable yet, but I feel like my skin is much firmer and smoother. I'm using a generous amount and massaging it in like my directions say. But I'm using the L'Oreal product, so maybe it's a little different or something.

Escrime · Kate Spade

I've started seeing results to, mainly on my stomach because I can look at it without effort, but my thighs also seem to look smoother.

I agree. At first I think I wasn't massaging it in all the way and that's why it felt so sticky. I've been rubbing it in a whole lot more so my butt doesn't stick to my clothes as much as it had been.
