Clarins has come out with a new product:
High Definition Body Lift Cellulite Control, Smoothes & Firms

Here at Whom You Know, we had our panel of experts evaluate this innovation!

Overview:

Cellulite Control, Smoothes & Firms
A patented, innovative and intensive cellulite control treatment that helps optimize the release of excess fat, even from the most stubborn places.
- Contains active microspheres that melt into skin to increase absorption of ingredients upon application.
- Minimizes the appearance of cellulite, helps redefine hips and thighs by providing skin with a gentle lifting effect.
- Visibly enhances skin with dual-toning and smoothing action.
- Restores balance by moisturizing and nourishing skin.
- Refreshing and cooling cream-gel texture helps tighten tissue for toned and firmed skin.

To apply:
Apply morning or evening with an upward sweeping movement working from ankles to the waist, and concentrating on the thighs, hips and buttocks. The lightweight, non-oily, non-sticky texture is quickly absorbed, so no need to wait before dressing.

Active Ingredients:
- Blue Button Flower- optimizes the release of localized fatty deposits.
- Baccharis- helps inhibit development of fatty tissue and strenghtens collagen fibers.
- Extract of Maritime Pine- boosts skin’s microcirculation.
- Sunflower extract and Horse Chestnut- increases penetration of caffeine, well known for its fluid-reducing action.

Our panel commented:

"I tried this cream as recommended massaging it on my legs from the ankles up all the way up the waist. The cream is light and coupled with the massage conveys a pleasant experience of airiness. I found that my legs felt and looked smoother almost immediately. The secret according to the literature is 'tiny microspheres that melt into the skin on contact' attacking cellulite. After several days use, my sensation of smoothness increased. I intend to use this product on a daily basis and look forward to long term positive results."

"It's been said that cellulite is something that every woman has, no matter her size and weight. A great tool that us women can add to the regular arsenal of diet and exercise is the Clarins High Definition Body Lift. The botanical and plant extracts bring on a lifting effect that I could feel on my legs. Upon application, the formula melted into my skin smoothly and quickly, the toning sensation is immediate and the effects can still be felt hours afterwards. This is a helpful product to keep at hand during the warmer weather and occasions that call for bare legs."

"This product perfects skin tone and leaves my skin feeling pampered. It has remarkable results in a short time. Also, it has a nice, gentle, refreshing scent that is non-greasy and easy to apply. I'm not afraid to wear my shorts & shirts this summer - visible and satisfying results have produced smoother more toned thighs."

"In order to determine if I could see a difference, I only applied the gel to the right thigh and buttocks. I put the gel on morning & night for 3 days. The gel is very light, has a nice fragrance, and did not leave a sticky feeling at all. Although it is difficult to see in the mirror, I could tell the difference in the smoothness of the skin. Now that the research is over, I need to work on the left side!"

"I was a little unsure when I first opened the package, thought maybe it was a scrub due to the little red particles inside the cream....rest assured they dissolve on your skin, leaving a slight tingling cool feeling...amazing! After just two applications I felt that my thighs were noticeably smoother. It left my skin feeling soft and silky all day. There was no scent that was going to fight with any other product/perfume I use."

The bottom line from Peachy Deegan:
This is a product that is helpful to all of us during the summer months of maximum skin exposure. There is no such thing as skin that is too smooth and even if your cellulite is minimal (like mine is!) I feel that skincare, both preventative, corrective and at the maintenance level is so helpful. I loved the scent of this and the texture and as you see it tested quite positively on our panel!
