    That's where I collect fat, too. There are no creams or anything to get rid of cellulite except building muscle and losing fat. I think this will be the last place my fat hangs onto so it may be a long process for me (maybe you too) but that's the only way. I've seen success stories of people who have gone from saggy butts to beautiful muscular legs and backsides and that's my goal. I'm starting the Strong Curves program after I have this baby and I am expecting good results from that.

    Even skinny people get cellulite! Ensuring you are adequately hydrated can help with the appearance, as can deep tissue massage.

    Cellulite is a part of life. Some women are blessed with more, some with less. Losing fat will reduce the appearance some, but it's one of those things that is largely out of your control.

    I'm below goal weight, and I still have it.

    My cellulite definitely got better with weight training and lowering my BF%, but it is still there.

    I have super dry skin, so if anyone does have an excellent cream that did moisturize the skin enough to help with cellulite I would love to know. My skin needs help.

    Moisturizer won't help the cellulite. Keeping hydrated (by drinking enough water) can have some effect.

    For dry skin I've found Aveeno helps. They have 3 formulas. I use the daily all over and the eczema formula during harsh winter on elbows that crack.
    As for cellulite there's nothing that fixes that. I've had cellulite since my 20's. Losing weight and weight training has helped but it's still there just not as much.
    Some people just get the short end of the stick genetics wise.

    Anyone selling you any product, topical or otherwise, who says it will treat cellulite is ripping you off.

    Cellulite happens when subcutaneous fat herniates through a layer of connective tissue near the bottom layer of your skin, and something like 90% of all post-pubescent women have at least some.

    Weight loss might help, but there's no guarantee since we all have to carry at least some subcutaneous fat, and if the connective tissue has relaxed enough it simply won't be possible to eliminate enough of it to make the cellulite go away.
