Caffeine has been a popular Anti-Cellulite weapon for a few years. Whilst there is no non-surgical proven method that gets rid of cellulite, there are products and treatments like some from InstaNatural, which can visibly effect the way the skin feels and helps it to look better. The effectiveness on these products have to do with the activity the caffeine has on our skin.  In laymen’s terms, some of these products can improve the overall appearance of the skin by evening out the skin tone and texture.  Caffeine, depending on the percentage in the products, can affect the swelling that we get around the fat, hence making the skin appear smoother. 

While, I don’t have a bunch of cellulite or stretch marks, I am a big fan of the InstaNatural line, and was curious when I was given the opportunity to test out their cellulite cream along with the stretch mark product.  Plus, with their lifetime satisfaction guarantee, what did I have to lose? Before I get into the details on the products, I would like to let you know about the brand.

Caffeine tones and tightens, while Retinol repairs and restores, so you can obtain long-lasting results for a firm and supple appearance.

InstaNatural Stretch Mark Cream: Stretch marks are born when skin is stretched beyond its limit and the collagen is weakened, transforming into unsightly stripes on the body. InstaNatural’s Stretch Mark & Scar Cream is a unique blend of key ingredients designed to increase elasticity of the skin and diminish the appearance of these marks to restore a youthful look. Cocoa Butter, Rosehip Oil and Mango Butter deliver extraordinary nourishment and antioxidants, while Vitamin C revises your skin tone and texture for an improved look and feel.

Final Thoughts: Because I am not a pro in this, I consulted with an esthetician friend of mine. According to her, products with  caffeine dilate the blood vessels, which temporarily tones and tightens tissue.  It also increases the circulation, which can help with water retention.  Ultimately helping the skin to appear smoother. Combine that with the retinoid that helps to promote skin turn over, you can most certainly see some changes in the skins appearance, when using these types of products.

While in the short time I've been using these creams, I was able to see a visible difference in texture of my skin. It was smoother and evened out, which was a pleasant surprise! A cellulite cure? Not sure about the long term effects.  But in the short term it most certainly helped to release toxins that helped my skin become more healthier in general.
