What you should know about this product
CelluTone claims their wondrous cellulite cream works with their patented Ovasome Technology. It turns out, this is just a fancy way of saying CelluTone contains whole eggs in the formula. Since we had never heard of eggs being the main ingredient of an effective cellulite treatment we decided to test and investigate even further. CelluTone maintains that a combination of over 70 minerals and vitamins contained in eggs some how gets rid of cellulite. Even more curious is the fact that CelluTone cries out against ingredients that have long been known to fight cellulite such as: Caffeine, L-Carnitine, Vitamin A & E and Gotu Kola. WebMD goes on to say that while eating eggs may contribute to cellulite loss, including eggs as an ingredient in a cellulite cream is not effective and in fact borderline quackery.

Conclusion:
Based on our extensive testing, we rated CelluTone as a do not buy. It does not contain any pharmaceutical grade ingredients. While it might be reassuring to think that ingredients in an egg can exterminate cellulite, we would have liked to see this claim being backed by clinical studies and no clinical studies have been done. Despite CelluTone having some natural ingredients, it also has parabens which safety has come under fire recently. Our advice is to continue to look for a product that will produce longer lasting, if not permanent, results and is truly all natural.
