As per recent research, caffeine can be a potential ally for women in their combat against cellulite. A team of Brazilian researchers experimented with the application of a cream that contained 7% caffeine on a sample of 99 women. The outcome of this trial demonstrated encouraging results, where the application of the cream on a daily basis for a period of one month led to the reduction of hip circumference in over 80% of women. Moreover, 68% of the sample size showed a decrease in hip circumference as well.

However, the true impact of caffeine on cellulite remains to be fully understood, as no noticeable effects were observed on cellulite itself following the conclusion of the one-month cream application trial. The researchers hypothesized that the duration of the experiment may have been too brief to garner any significant results on cellulite reduction.

Omar Lupi, the lead researcher of the study, is quick to caution that while there may not be a definitive cure for cellulite, women can still pursue means to look slimmer. Physical activity remains a critical element in the fight against cellulite, and it is imperative that women incorporate it into their lifestyle.
