Even though creams and lotions won’t make your cellulite disappear, they can help temporarily smooth and tighten your skin—especially if you pick a formula that’s spiked with caffeine, which slightly “dehydrates fat cells, making them less visible,” says Dr. King.

So if you can’t swing a professional treatment, try massaging this cream wherever you have cellulite. Just note: “It needs to be applied daily, and the effect will be modest at best,” says Dr. King. Basically, don’t expect miracles, but you may see a temporary, more-even look on your skin. FWIW, I massage this cream all over my thighs and arms every morning, and I've noticed my skin is so much firmer, which has helped my dimpling look less prominent.

Cosmo review: "I use this cream all over my legs just before special events. It makes my skin look smoother and firmer as soon as I massage it on, but it doesn’t feel sticky when I’m ready to get dressed. This was so great before beach and pool days when I wanted a little boost to feel more confident." — Beth Gillette, beauty editor
