Nivea Goodbye Cellulite Challenge!!


About a month ago I got the opportunity to try out Nivea’s One Month Goodbye Cellulite Program and I am here to tell you all about the results. When I received the program I was a little nervous about it. I have tried firming creams, and cellulite reducers and I have had minimal to no luck with them. Wishful thinking does not produce results, so I went in to this test full of both hope and skepticism.

The program consists of three separate but conjoined products that work together to reduce the appearance of cellulite in 4 weeks. It includes the Good-bye Cellulite Gel cream, and the NIVEA body Good-bye Cellulite Capsules. I wanted to attempt to take the capsules, but honestly, I just can’t take any old pill because my skin is hyper-sensitive and anything is liable to set it off. So I left that part of the program to my dear friend Erica. I decided to go straight for the NIVEA body Good-bye Cellulite Patches. This is something that I can totally handle. They instructed that 2 to 3 times a week I should adhere the patches to the portions of my skin that had cellulite. I admit that after a winter of pretty much not working out at all, I went a little overboard. I had those patches everywhere. I looked like a big band-aid but I happily went to bed with my cellulite patches on hoping for the best.

Here is a breakdown of the progress:

Patches - Me


Week 1

No change

Week 2

Small difference

Got stuck to bedsheets

Reduced the amount of patches

Week 3

Smoother Appearance

Brave enough to entertain wearing shorts

Week 4

Dramatic difference

Bought shorts for the first time in 5 years and didn’t cry

Wore them last weekend

Cream & Pills - Erica

Week 1

No change

Week 2

Small change stopped taking pills, felt they upset her stomach

Week 3

Smoother Appearance

Not dramatic though

Week 4

Liked the firmness

Thought perhaps the pills & cream worked harder together.

Overall Results For Both Products

The results are overall very positive for something that can be purchased over the counter. We would both recommend giving them a shot as we would definitely use them again.

    Hi,

    I did not have any results with Nivea products, though..
    I find massages, scrubs and healthy lifestyle, plus exercising, work much better for cellulite.

  2. Wow! I reported on this a month ago when it came out.

    Just imagine what would have happened if you used everything together!

  3. I think I would try the topical. taking something to swallow for cellulite makes me a bit nervous. I am a young 40 something, I work out and eat almost right, but still have that nasty stuff on the back of my thighs. I laughed when I read about sticking to the bed sheets. My husband would never let me hear the end of it!
