Ivatherm Resveratrox anti-cellulite cream review

Hello ladies!

Little introduction:
This was the second product I chose for the Trender WOM campaign and I already told you here why. Again I won't be rambling like I usually do, just a quick and simple review.
Product description:
Action
The anti-cellulite cream is effective in reducing the lipidic layer on thighs, buttocks and abdomen. It significantly reduces the "orange peel" on thighs, buttocks and abdomen and remodels the figure.
 
Result
The skin becomes noticeably more smooth, firm and elastic.


Active Ingredient

Resveratrox® activates lipolysis (breakdown of fats stored in fat cells). The mechanism of actrion is complex: Resveratrox inhibits the phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) activity.

Resveratrox® has been proven to be thirty times more active than caffeine (in vitro testing).

Scopariane decreases lipogenesis, preventis the build up of new fat layers.

The olive oil helps reduce pregnancy stretch marks and protects against UV radiations.

Centella Asiatica stimulates the synthesis of the collagen and glycosaminoglycanes, It has a restoriative effect, and improves skin firmness. It normalizes the conjunctive perivascular tissue thus improving vascular tone and elasticity.

Karité butter (Butirospermum parkii) contributes to the skin’s health due to its vitamin and essential fatty acid content, which increases the flexibility of the cell tissues.

Herculane thermal spring water diminishes the rash and softens the skin due to its calming and anti-rash properties. The product may be used by pregnant women and people with capillary fragility. It is not photosensitive.

Texture: (will come back with pictures as soon as I recover my sweet little loved camera)

Quick pros and cons:       
+ smooth skin check
+ firm skin check
+ elastic skin check
- the price


Detailing:
  • Again thumbs up for packaging, and thumbs down for no ingredients on the tube.
  • I have used the cream daily for about 2 weeks twice a day.
  • I like that it is quickly absorbed since I'm not the type that hates to massage the area for n minutes until the cream gets absorbed
  • Yes my skin does look better, hydrated, smooth and firm
  • It is silly to go on and state that using the cream only, you will lose x inches around your thighs and so on. IT'S RUBBISH, NO CREAM DOES THAT WITHOUT THE PROPER DIET AND EXERCISE!
  • It's not any different than other anti-cellulite creams I had in the past (Nivea Goodbye Cellulite, Supliform by Hofigal) but it is more expensive than the ones mentioned
  • I usually don't complain about parabens, but maaan, after writing the ingredients and seeing the whole range (meta. eta, propyl, butyl + isobutyl). Sigina, who also had the cream for testing, said it best: "If the main ingredient is such a great anti-oxidant, then why do you need all those parabens, since anti-oxidants act like preservatives"
Conclusion:
I generally was very pleased with the cream. It did exactly what I was expecting of it! But since there are cheaper anti-cellulite creams that do exactly the same thing, I don't think i will buy it, except maybe if there's some kind of promotion.
Tomorrow i will wrap up this campaign with a post reuniting all my conclusions!
