Conclusion:
Nivea cellulite cream has L-Carnitine an ingredient that has been proven to effectively reduce the build-up of fat in the subcutaneous layer. However, other than this ingredient, Nivea Good-Bye Cellulite Gel-Cream does not contain any other natural active ingredient to facilitate the reduction of cellulite. Cellulite is not just a problem about fat build-up. It is also greatly contributed by poor blood circulation, poor hydration, poor collagen production, toxin build-up and rough and uneven textured skin. These other problem areas can be resolved by active ingredients such as Caffeine, Gotu Kola, Retinol, Green Tea and Shea Butter.
