I'm pretty new to Soap & Glory. I only heard about it through Zoella. Was at Myer one day and came across the brand in the kit cosmetics stands and oh my lawd, I completely fell in love with their Breakfast Scrub (review mad rave to come later). Also noticed their body toning products and thought I'd give them a try.

Now we all need a little help in cellulite department, y'know what I'm sayin'? Slimwear is "an amazing puff-draining peptide balm that firms, contours, smoothes and reduces the appearance of cellulite". Instructions at the back says to massage vigorously every morning using circular motions from the knees to the inner thigh, twice a day if you're keen.

I've been using Slimwear for about 2 weeks now and I'm surprised to say that it really does reduce the appearance of cellulite. But I will have to say that I'm at the end of my 30 day squat challenge plus have been cutting fast food from my diet for the past month so I'm not sure if the improved appearance of my legs is due to that or the product. There is a section on the back of the bottle though that says, "Slimwear users who control their diets and get regular exercise will undoubtedly see the combined consequences more quickly." As for firming and contouring, the verdict is still out on that.

This is the first product cellulite-appearance-reducing product I've purchased so I can't really compare how it is to other brands. It seems to work pretty well for me with my lifestyle changes I've got going on. I would recommend it as a little extra help or a boost for people who are exercising and wanting to tone up but it definitely ain't no miracle worker. At $22.95 a bottle, I'll probably rebuy this when I run out! :) let me know if there are other products like this you'd recommend!

P.S. also bought Soap & Glory's Sit Tight, will do a first impression on that soon.
