Most brands of lotion make skin firming lotions for this problem. I have no idea if they work or not.

Unfortunately, cellulite is genetic and there really isn't a good home remedy to get rid of it. One of my friends did have a procedure done at a doctor's office that got rid of her cellulite. You have to get it redone every 6 months, but it definately works! I forgot what it was called though.

No, it isn't lipo. I think it was Mesotherapy. Here is a site on it:

I agree with Rebecca cellulite is definetly inherited. I see avon carries a cellulite cream but I don't know how good it is... Rebecca mentioned some sort of procedure, you are thin I thought people who have cellulite were heavy, obsviously I am wrong.. Learn something new..

Nope, anyone can have cellulite. I have several friends who are thin as bones, no meat on their body, yet have cellulite from the top of their knees up to their butt. It's definately inherited.

Even with your cellulite, I'm still jealous! If I lost enough weight to only weigh 108 lbs they'd have to pull my bottom half up and staple it to my shoulders!

i use an avon cellulite/stretch mark cream which works for me.
heres the link to it:
http://shop.avon.com/shop/product.as...d=&pf_id=10146

if the link doesn't work you can go to www.youravon.com/jalzamora and then go to skincare then problem solvers and it's the SUPER SHAPE Anti-Cellulite & Stretch Mark Cream

I agree, it's definitely inherited. (geez, thanks Mom, NOT!!) I have it too. Always have, even when I was younger, thinner, and better in shape. It's all on my lower half and I hate it!!! I don't hate it enough to have a doctor try to get rid of it though...I guess I just try to hide it with clothes and stuff. Cheaper too, LOL.
