Cellulite
How Peptides Reduced the Look of My Cellulite
If you've just come from my video, this is everything I couldn't fit into it. What's actually making the dimples on the backs of your thighs. Why every cream I bought was beaten before I opened the jar. And the one thing that finally made a difference, after years of buying the next promising bottle.
- Why a cream can sit on your legs for a year and change nothing
- What peptides actually do to the skin over cellulite
- The unfiltered comments under our own ads, good and bad
I'd stopped believing anything would work on it, and I'd stopped saying so out loud because it sounded so vain.
That's the bit nobody talks about. It isn't the dimples. It's how small it makes you feel to still care about them, after everything else you've sorted out in your life.
So I'm not going to promise you a miracle here. I'm going to explain the thing every one of those creams got wrong, which took me an embarrassingly long time to find out. Then you can read what happened to other women who tried this, in their own words.
Some of them loved it. Some of them didn't. Both are on this page.
I'd Already Done The Hard Version
I trained. I walked. I cut the sugar. I bought the dry brush and I actually used it, every morning, for months. And it all worked, on everything except this.
So I moved on to creams. The firming one. Then the expensive one, because obviously the cheap one was the problem. Then the one with collagen on the front in big letters.
Six weeks later I was standing in a fitting room under that particular overhead light, and nothing had changed at all.
And here's what I did next, which I think most women do.
I didn't blame the cream. I blamed myself.
I decided it was genetic. I decided it was just what happens now. I put the shorts back on the rail and told myself I was being ridiculous for minding.
What I never once did was ask why none of it worked. Not one bottle. Not a single time. That should have been the obvious question, and it took me years to get to it.
What's Actually Making The Dimples
Under the skin on your thighs, strands of connective tissue run downward like cords, anchoring your skin to the muscle underneath. Fat sits in pockets in between them.
The cords pull down. The fat presses up. That's the dimple.
And the skin stretched over the top is what decides how much of it you actually see. Firm, thick skin holds its shape and evens it out. Thin skin doesn't, which is why this gets more obvious in your fifties even if your weight hasn't moved an inch.
So there are three things to work on. The cords. The fluid around them. And the skin on top.
Why the creams couldn't touch any of it
This is the part that made me genuinely cross, because it has nothing to do with how much I paid.
The outer layer of your skin is oil. Its whole job is to keep water out, and it is very good at it, because otherwise you'd swell up in the bath.
Almost every cellulite cream is water-based.
So it never got in. Whatever was in that jar sat on the surface, felt lovely for ten minutes, and rinsed off in the shower the next morning.
What the oil does instead
It's an oil, not a cream. Your skin lets oil through, so the actives actually reach the layer where the cords and the fat are. And once they're down there, all three jobs get done:
-
The skin on top gets firmer.
Three peptides tell your own skin to make more collagen and elastin. That's the part deciding how much shows through, and it's the part every cream I owned left completely alone. -
The cords get fed.
Caffeine, grapefruit and eucalyptus improve circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to that tissue. Cords stiffen when circulation drops, and stiff cords pull harder. -
The fluid moves out.
The five minutes of massage stimulates lymphatic drainage, which shifts trapped fluid and takes some of the pressure off from underneath.
Which is why it's a massage oil. Rubbing it in isn't a nice ritual bolted on the end. It's doing two of those three jobs while you do it.
And the collagen jars, since they're everywhere
They can't work either, for a similarly daft reason. The collagen molecule is far too big to pass through skin. It sits on top and rinses away, exactly like the rest.
Peptides are tiny next to it, and they don't try to be collagen. They're a message. They tell your skin to build its own.
"Does This Actually Work?"
That question comes up under these ads more than anything else, usually with a fair amount of scepticism attached. Which, after everything above, seems entirely reasonable to me.
These are real comments, copied exactly as they were written:

How does this work from the outside when cellulite begins internally??
Facebook user
Cellulite is deep inside the skin...nothing you put on it will take away cellulite.
Facebook user
Does it really work? I have tried so many different oils and creams that say they work but they never do.
Facebook user
Who has tried this? Do you have before and after pictures? We can't trust FB anymore, too many scams.
The first two have an answer, and it's the section you just read. It works from the outside because it gets in from the outside, which is the one thing the creams never managed.
The other two aren't mine to answer. So here are the replies that came from women who had actually bought it:

What I Use: The NØRD BODY Anti-Cellulite Massage Oil
It isn't a moisturiser and it isn't a lotion. It's three peptides in an absorbing oil base, built for one job: working on the structure underneath rather than shining up the surface.
The whole routine
It sinks in within a couple of minutes, which matters more than it sounds. Nothing on your clothes, no all-day film. That's the only reason I've actually kept doing it every day, and daily is the whole game with this.

This is my first time using any product for cellulite, i used it after my shower with a scala massager and the results are amazing just 1 time use! I can't wait to see the result after a few weeks!!!

I bought this oil after seeing the testimonies on Instagram and needing help with crepey skin on my upper arms and loose, cellulite dimples on my thighs. After a week of using I can already see improvements to my skin, both look and feel. The oil is easy to apply and does not leave your skin greasy it smells delicious too.

Nisreen A. · VerifiedLet's Be Straight About The Timeline
Some women see something in the first week. Plenty don't, and you should know that before you buy rather than after.
You're rebuilding skin, and skin is built slowly, by your own cells. That's also the reason it doesn't rinse off again.
Which is exactly why the guarantee runs 60 days. It's long enough to actually find out.
Picture the fitting room in eight weeks. Same overhead light, the one that has never done you any favours. Same shorts. You look, and you're thinking about the shorts instead of your legs.
That's the whole thing. Not a different body. Just not having to think about it.
What You're Actually Deciding
Not whether an oil can work miracles. You've read the good comments and the doubtful ones, and 297 women have landed on 4.4.
What you're deciding is whether eight weeks and one bottle is worth finding out, on the first thing that fixes what all the others got wrong.
And the skin carries on thinning a little each year either way. Starting sooner is simply easier than starting later.

Before You Decide
How can it work from the outside if cellulite starts underneath?
Because it gets in from the outside. Your skin's outer layer is oil-based and blocks water, which is why water-based creams stay on the surface. An oil passes straight through it, so the peptides reach the layer where the cords and the fat actually are.
I've tried creams before and none worked. Why is this different?
Oil instead of water, so it isn't fighting your skin to get in. And peptides instead of collagen, so it tells your skin to build rather than sitting on top of it.
Isn't cellulite genetic?
Genetics affect how thick your skin is and how your connective tissue is arranged. Those are exactly the things this works on, so it isn't arguing with your genes. It's working on what they affect.
If years of training didn't fix it, how can an oil?
Training changes muscle and fat. It doesn't thicken skin and it doesn't change what the cords are doing. That isn't a criticism of the training. It's a different job.
Will it leave me greasy?
No. It's light and fast-absorbing. A couple of minutes of massage and it's gone in, which is the point, since the massage is part of how it works.
How long before I see results?
Around four weeks for most women, with optimal results at six to eight weeks of daily use. Give it two months before you judge it.
Where can I use it?
Thighs, glutes, hips, stomach and arms. Anywhere you see the texture. Avoid broken skin.
Does it work at 60, or 70?
The mechanism doesn't change with age, and several of the reviews above are from women in their sixties and seventies. Skin thins as you get older, and that's the driver this works on most directly.
What if it doesn't work for me?
You have a full 60 days to request a refund. No questions asked. If it does nothing for you, we'd rather refund you than have you feel you wasted money again.
How quickly does it ship?
Processed within 1 to 2 business days, delivered within 4 to 7 business days.
