Gernetic Vasco Artera is a cellulite-reduction cream that is recommended for daily application for the first few weeks, then every second or third day. It's used in conjunction with Lympho tonic, which is splashed on first. Price is approximately $150 AUSD for a 200ml jar. Tonic is around $40 for a 200ml splash bottle.
Have been using this product for around 5 months and in this time, I've noticed about a 50 - 60% reduction in my cellulite. It has also dramatically reduced the appearance of a few spider veins I had going there, which are now barely visible.
I'd give this product a 3.5/5 rating on the basis of effectiveness. I haven't witnessed an elimination of cellulite, but a reduction, in spite of concurrent slight weight gain. I haven't bothered too much with the recommended massage, but have still found the product effective. (In fact, I think it was the reduction in my cellulite that made me think it might be ok to have a bit more chocolate - hence the weight gain!) Is not mentholated, so doesn't have the chilling effect of many cellulite preparations. Fragrance is pretty minimal, but pleasant enough. Disadvantages are the cost (I'm going through about a tub every six weeks) and that damned mind-tricking cellulite-reduction effect that makes you think you're lighter than you actually are 'til you get on the scales! Another disadvantage is the lack of ingredient labelling. I do like to know what's in the stuff I use. |

I like the review.
The comment about the chocolate made me  .
It sounds like you are good at applying the stuff & getting good results.
My problem is I do these things for a couple of days. Then only sporadically. |

loopylori, I'm the same with most body products and tend to lose interest after a few days - my version of skin care ADD. For some reason, the Gernetic tonic + cream technique makes the application a much more pleasant one than the 'smear and pummel' techniques recommended for some other products - ouch  ! |

| Very interesting review ejthomas. Thank you for posting it. I've always found this line somewhat intriguing but have never found anyone who actually uses it! |
