Advantages: I failed to discover any Disadvantages: nasty smell, nasty allergic reaction
...at just how awful this Clarins product was, not least because of the major plaudits it's received in the beauty magazines and press.
The first thing that's unpleasant about this is the smell, strongly medicinal, which isn't that uncommon in these products; but what is uncommon is that the whiff from this seems to last all day.
It then (according to the instructions) needs a fair bit of rubbing and massaging in. Then, for me, came the major unpleasantness ... ...after a few days, so it was pretty unpleasant as my skin had said this was 'OK' on a routine patch test.
Unfortunately that means I can't report whether it lifted, firmed and banished cellulite. I certainly lost a few layers of skin - but, presumably not in the way the manufacturers had in mind! ...

Advantages: Non-oily and smooths skin Disadvantages: does not work as advertised
I do not usually use Clarins products but was willing to give their body lift product, the Lift Mindeur 2000 a try after being recommended by their counter staff. According to the blurb, it is supposed to "firms, refines and tones" and help minimize the appearance of 'sponginess'. Now after using it for more than three months, I have found some difference but not significant enough for me to want to use it again or recommend it to anyone. I have ... ...after a couple of hours after application. Although I must say that it does make the skin smooth to touch. However, there has been no reduction in cellulite, and this is disappointing. It is as claimed, a non-oily gel and has a menthol like feel upon applying it but all this is not enough to make me use it again. ...

Advantages: I lose 1-2 cm of my fat Disadvantages: Effect only after long time of using
To my deep regret, I suffer from excessive completeness and from cellulite.
Therefore I tried very many means for treatment cellulite, in particular, cream Lift Minceur 2000 from Clarins. It was advice of my girlfriend, which managed to grow thin with the help of this cream on some centimeters in a waist. I used it within 3 weeks and I can not tell, that the results were obvious. Roughnesses of a skin on thighs have smoothed out a little. Skin has ... ...grown thin on 1 sm. On a abdomen growing thin on 1-2 centimeters also was planned. It is possible, if this cream to use very long - 3-4 months, - the results will appear. But I think, that is exact as it is possible to grow thin and simply from physical exercises and diet. I believe, that this cream should be bought, if you would not like to sit on a diet and jogging.3 stars. ...

...6 months. I have used the product daily and have found that it had little more effect than a normal moisturiser. I feel that Clarins are exploiting the huge market of women who are keen to reduce sponginess and cellulite and that the product has few real benefits. ...

Advantages: Smooths the skin Disadvantages: To strong smelling to wear
...lift cream free with two Clarins Products that I bought so I thought I would give it a try. Being a huge fan of Clarins I was quite dissapointed with this product, it was a pinky colour and did not smell very appealing. It went into the skin quite easy and felt cool, but I do not think it firmed my skin, at least I could not notice any difference although it did make my skin feel smooth and it absorbed into my skin very fast. You only need to use ...

The product is called Total Body Lift "Stubborn Cellulite Control" and the packaging says 'firms, refines, tones'. One can't help but think dubiously about these promises, and we've all been told time and time again that no products can cure cellulite -... more
I bought this product after reading the comments from the internet. Was not so convincing especially the price is not that cheap, around £24 to £28 per bottle for just 50ml. I gave it a try anyway. It is believed to be able to smoothen, for firming,... more
I was lucky enough to receive this product along with the Relaxing Body Polisher and Relax Bath and shower concentrate, from my long suffering other half, for my birthday last year. Bless him, how did he guess? OK, I admit, I attached a full page advert... more
