Avon Re-Fine Stretch Mark Smoother

OK, but not as good as ....

I purchased this product after trying Avon's SuperShape cream ... Not as good. The creme is actually a little like a silicone layer ... slippery, doesn't seem to absorb that well. Give you soft skin, but doesn't firm up the hippie-hips or the tummy apron and the stretch marks just seemed to relax and enjoy the extra attention like they intended to stay. Not something I would recommend for reducing the appearance of stretchmarks.

The Body Shop Cellulite Massager

A nice applicator, but not a cellulite treatment

Good for trying to improve your circulation while applying your cellulite treatment, but other than that I didn't see any benefit of this massager. I don't think it's worth the money, expecially when you can go to a drugstore and get something similar for much less moeny.

Avon Super Shape Anti-Cellulite & Stretch Mark Cream

I actually liked this product

I had gotten a tube of this product from a friend, it sat on my shelf for a month before I decided to try it. It is not a cure all, however twice a day (I've tried once, twice and three ... twice is good) and there was after about two weeks an noticable difference in the appearance of my thighs. It leaves my skin soft and smooth, healthy feeling. The catch? ... I've gone off this product a few times in the past year, the stretch marks and dimples always come back. However, I've tried a few other items that don't seem to work as well and always seem to go back to this one. I am now including it in baby shower baskets for the mom's to be because I like it so much.

bliss Slimulator

Not quite a 'Bliss'ful slimmer

I am an avid skin brusher, so when I saw this item to be used in conjunction with the Bliss products I was gung-ho about how it would work in conjunction with the cremes. I was wrong. It's ok ... I suppose that it does help work the problem areas, but reminds me of the old scalp massager they used to sell way back when. After two weeks, I got better results brushing my skin first and appling creme by hand than using this item with the creme. Not a good investment in my opinion.

Bliss FatGirlSleep

Relaxing nighttime full body moisturizer, but ....

I am really impressed with this cream ... in the context that it has a very nice texture, smooths into your flesh easily, absorbs well and doesn't leave a greasy residue on skin. The scent is very nice and even my partner noticed after just two days that the skin on my hips, thighs and tushie were softer and more 'touchable'. However, that being said, I did NOT see a change in the breakdown or disappearance of cellulite. I would not recommend it for those who are looking to reduce the appearance of cottage cheese dimples. If Bliss would repackage this as a nightime body creme I would recommend it, but as a cellulite treament, thumbs down.
