I bought this oil because I started to see some cellulite on my thighs and buttocks, and because I am pregnant I should avoid most of the ordinary cellulite-treatments, I was told (because of caffein and some other ingrediens commonly used). This oil was safe, however.
At first I was a bit disappointed in it, because I was looking for an oil that was smooth enough to be massaged in to the skin for a while (I use an electrical massager with heat, at home every morning). This oil goes into the skin quite fast, so there is not a lot of massaging required (I do it for 3-5 minutes on each leg). After about two weeks of doing this, I saw amazing improvements on my thighs especially, not so much on my buttocks yet (maybe because I massage the thighs more because it is easier). I have actually reduced the size of my thighs, and that is amazing because I am pregnant and gaining weight. I am also amazed how the oil/massaging has firmed/toned my skin. I use two "pumps" of the oil on each leg (from the knee to the belly), so the oil seems to last a long time. It works as a slimming and firming treatment for me, as well as "toxin relief" I suppose (I don't notice the toxin-thing, but the slimming and firming effects are GREAT!)
A really good buy!
When I have had my baby I will try the Decleor Slendisium range and give you my opinion about them as well. |

Oooo! I got a sample of that with my last EDS order and it smells beautiful! I used it the other night after I had a bath and it was lovely. I find the smell quite strong and herbal especially if you put it all over yourself like I did (NICE herbal not bad herbal though). It's something I'd put on after a bath to help me sleep.
Can't comment on the effectiveness of it myself after using it from a sample just once but I love the texture and the smell. |

Yes, it is definitely a strong herbal smell -but I don't think the scent lingers for long on the skin. I use it in the morning, and apply a bodylotion (a cheap but good one) over it after massaging the oil, and the herb-scent is completely gone after that, so it is safe to wear a fragrance/perfume after using the oil if I feel like it 
I am sure it is lovely to use the oil at night as well, it definitely has some calming effect to it, but for me it is just more practical to use it in the morning, and that works well, too, because the oil penetrates the skin fast.
It has been a few days since I wrote this review, and the results I get with this oil just keep on amazing me. The skin on my thighs is more or less cellulite-free now, but I still have some on the buttocks. Because I am pregnant and cannot move very much these days, it must be the oil/massaging every morning that has done this! How wonderful -don't believe those people who say that nothing works for cellulite  |

| Glad it's working so well for you Siri. And you are right, the smell is strong but it does fade quickly. I think I might buy this as well, I just love the smell of it.... |
