Are Revitol’s cellulite products really the best out there? Do their cellulite creams and medications work? I recently decided to play detective and research into what Revitol cellulite creams (“Cellulite Solution”) consists of ingredient wise.
(IMPORTANT NOTE: One thing to keep in mind when selecting a cellulite fighting product is to first know what causes the appearance of cellulite so you know which natural ingredients can work against those causes. (Don’t worry I do that here.)
So get this: Cellulite happens because the structural walls of the fat cells begin to weaken. When your 
cell walls weaken, they sag. And sagging causes you see that dreadful “orange peel” appearance.
Since we know that weak cells produce sagging and in turn cellulite, we need something on our skin that turns things around or strengthens our skins connective tissues so as to build up those sagging cell walls.
Personally, I’ve noticed the effects of this cell wall break down (unfortunately). And so I was quiet a motivated Revitol researcher. Still, I was pretty skeptical as to what I would find on Revitol creams ingredient list.
Officially Revitol Cellulite Creams discloses each of their product ingredients on their official site: Revitol Cellulite Creams.
Revitol’s “Cellulite Solution” Ingredients:
Algae Extract and Bladderwrack Extract
Yuck, seaweed! Well, algae has natural compounds that smooth your skin. Unfortunately it has little cellulite reduction properties. Green algae does stimulate your body to produce collagen which is important for keeping skin connective tissue tight. Which is why algae skin treatment is used by many spa’s.
Bladderwrack extract is a brown algae found in the Atlantic ocean. Because of its high concentration of iodine, minerals, polyphenols, and polysaccharides. Revitol care creams contain Bladderwrack which will absolutley help reduce cellulite because it acts as a diuretic and works to flush out the fluids trapped between fat cells that cause the dimpled effect.
Caffeine or Coffee Extract
This had me a bit confused since coffee and caffeine actually promote cellulite build up by impairing circulation. But as it turns out researchers say that cellulite creams using caffeine actually reduces fat content in skin cells by blocking enzymes from entering the cells that slow down fat breakdown. Revitol’s ingredients Green Tea and Kola Nut are also caffeine related.
Capsicum Extract
According to research capsicum increases blood flow and cleans out toxins and improve the bond between connecting tissue. Cellulite is a result of weak connections. Capsicum and caffeine combined work well to increase blood circulation and skin regeneration.
Green Tea Extract
Revitol uses green tea extract because of the theobromine which is one of its active compounds. It is an alkaloid that after being absorbed into the skin causes the release of stored fat. As previously mentioned it also contains caffeine, another cellulite reduction agent.
Retinol A
Sometimes referred to as retin-A this ingredient is a derivative of vitamin A and promotes skin elasticity and new prodution and repair of connective tissues. Weak connective skin tissue is a big part of why cellulite appears. When the skin absorbs Retinol A it stimulates the production of collagen (a protein responsible for building connective bonds within the skin). The result is stronger skin with less dimples.
Horsetail Extract
Inside of horsetail is a wonderful supplement called silica. It really makes improvements on connective tissues in terms of production and repair and also gives it more elasticity. Remember the older we get the less elastic our skin becomes. Horsetail keeps skin more elastic. Non-elastic, sagging skin needs this ingredient.
Shea Butter
Even though all the ingredients above already absorb into the skin, shea butter just makes it much easier. It allows the skin to absorb all the cellulite fighting ingredients above. Its a common skin softener as well.
So, Revitol cellulite creams have utilized natures best skin extracts. By the way an extract is produced by steaming and then collecting the raw active chemicals and reducing then solidifying them to increase their potency.
So, suffice it to say my research showed me why Revitol offers the best cellulite cream products on the market. Nivea or Trilastin creams don’t offer anything close to the cellulite destroying ingredients that Revitol includes.
