Spalon tech's founder is a licensed esthetician and nail tech who decided it was time to create her own cellulite treatment product. I have to say that, after seeing another cellulite treatment was headed my way, I wasn't too, too excited. Being that I do have a problem with cellulite, I would love to get rid of it! However, as of yet, most of the products I've used are smelly, sticky, thick, and/or just plain don't work. Sad, I know.
Spalon Tech's treatment includes some pretty cool ingredients, as have the other treatments I have tried. Most notably, these ingredients include a mixture of hydrating ingredients(coconut oil, palm oil, aloe) and "stimulating" ingredients (gotu kola, citrus extracts, peppermint, caffeine). This product, in particular, actually has garcinia cambogia in it, which is interesting, as garcinia is a pretty new ingredient, even in the diet industry. I had never heard of using it to help cellulite. Maybe this stuff really would work!
Here's the Full Ingredients List:
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Extract (organic), Carnitine Hydroxycitrate (Garcinia Cambogia), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Superior Esterfication of Pure Coconut Oil), Emulsifying Wax, Octyl Palmitate (Palm Oil), Algae(Seaweed) Extract, Caffeine, Centella Asiatica (Organic Gotu Kola) Extract, (Vitamin E) Tocopheryl Acetate, Allantoin, Paullinia Cupana Seed (Guarana-natural Caffeine) Extract, Citrus Paradisi Oil (Ruby Red Grapefruit), Citrus Sinensis Oil (Sweet Orange) , Lippia Citriodora Oil (Lemon Verbena), Rosa Damascena Oil, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Ginkgo Biloba Extract, Allantoin, Dimethicone, Caprylic Acid (and) Propanediol (and) Lauric Acid (and) Potassium Sorbate.
Unlike other cellullite treatments I have tried, which typically come in a pot or airless pump container, this one actually comes in a large pump bottle. It is a pretty good size, too- 12 oz. Bigger than the others.
The directions say to apply the cream twice daily in circular and upward strokes, paying special attention to cellulite-prone areas (buttocks, thighs). It also suggests to drink 8 oz of water after applying- another key point that makes this product stand out from the rest. Do we have hope!? By the way, the reason for the water, I'm guessing, is because this product supposedly has a detoxifying effect on the body, pulling stuff out- so you wanna drink more water to rehydrate and get things moving along.
The Nitty Gritty:
I followed the directions- I swear. I was so excited to try this product! I opened the pump. And pumped. And pumped. Nothing ever came out. To this day, a few weeks later, every time I use this stuff I need to unscrew the entire top and bang it on the palm of my hand until the cream comes out- which is super thick, by the way. Which is probably why the pump didn't work in the first place- because the cream was too thick for it. ::sigh. Don't people test these things beforehand??
The smell... ugh, was just like the others! That weird, citrus, sort-of-like-cleaner-kind-of smell. Yuck. But, I could bear it, if it was going to fix my cellulite.
Unfortunately, it hasn't. My cellulite looks exactly the same as it did before I started using this product. Such a bummer.
Maybe you'd have better luck? Get this 12 oz unworkable pump bottle for $29.77 on amazon. They say they have a 100% money back guarantee, so I guess its kind-of worth it?
