VLCC SHAPE UP Anti-Cellulite Gel Shape Up in 14 days
Well I am feeling funny that I am writing about shape up because there was a time I used to laugh at such products. I always believed and still believe so that only excercise and well balanced diet can help you keep in good shape…
But one of those days I was really depressed due to some reasons and even though I love clothes a lot, my feel good shopping comprises of makeup/skincare stuff:P
So there I was one day shopping uselessly and I found this product lying on the shelf. I read anti-cellulite written across it and Bam!! I bought it, I knew it wasn’t going to make me slim and toned ( as per how Malaika Arora used to describe it when she endorsed it :P) but I thought it would tighten/firm my skin as I had flabby upper arms.Although I don’t have a major cellulite problem there were just like abt one – two short lines of stretchmark on both my upper thighs which i never used to mind, but I thought oh well let me try it and I bought it.
Let see what it claims :
- Shape up in 14 days* ( results may vary person to person)
- Naturotherapy
- Helps in tightening of slack tissues, detoxifies and shapes your body
- Unique anti cellulite gel makes you look beautiful, giving your skin an even and smooth appearance
Directions for use:-
Massage everyday on affected cellulite or fat areas for 15-20 minutes
An ayurvedic product. For external use only.
Shelf life:3 years
Price Rs. 325 for 100 gms
Ingredients:-
I had got this product about 1 and a half year ago.I started using it on my upper arms and massged over the area for about two to thre minutes. It is realy impossible to massage for 15 to 20 mins as instructed on the tube. Because it gets absorbed pretty soon and I would have to keep taking more and more from the tube to be able to keep uptil 15 to 20 mins! But nearly after 1 week or so, after not seeing any results, I thought oh what the heck let’s try more product and massage for so long. I finished my tube to about half.
NO RESULT. Absolutely not even teeny tiny diffrnce. I stashed it away.
CUT to near present: A month ago I saw this tucked away in the cabinet and I have been worrying about my recently growing double chin.I thought I’ll give it another chance.There is nothing to lose.
No results obviously in 14 days.I continued to use it for a month or so after a month I saw very teeny tiny diffrnce but I cant attribute it to this gel because i had already started doing some cardio and double chin excercises and continued regularly. But i would rather believe its either a combined result or the excercise regimen alone.
Lets see what it looks like:
Its packed in a plastic tube,with a flip cap .
It is a pretty thick lemon yellow colored gel. But its spreads very easily and evenly and hence its easy to massage. But gets absorbed not too soon i would say but soon enough. It disappears into invisible colour but leaves a very thin film on the applied area.
Its smell more Unani than Ayurvedic. hence its not bad. Its pretty nice actually. Its smells more like saunf and ajwain..
Pros of VLCC Anti Cellulite Gel
- It is ayurvedic . so no side effects. Seriously. No suspicious darkening/whitening/drying/itching .Nothing.
- Smell is calming
- Soothing on application
Cons of VLCC Anti Cellulite Gel
Doesn’t live upto its 14 days claim. On a further note- doesn’t live upto its claim at all..!!
The “ massage for 15-20mins” part is quite misleading… ummm.. maybe so that the product is finished up fast and bought again and again by the user. Never mind.It still doesn’t work that way too. Wastage of time with all that massaging. 325 bucks go down the drain
Product rating
I gave it :-* just because even though it wasn’t usefull atleast it was harmless. Otherwise such slimming products/capsules etc super freaky.
Would I buy it again? Hell no!!! But I will finish this tube up though.
Hope this review helped u guys. Plz don’t be silly like me and go for it if ur just shopping to lift ur spirits :/
And serious weight problems can be solved only with good diet, cardio and weight training (for toning) as clichéd as it may sound!!!

hehe for similar reasons like you…i bought this and some oil 2 when i went to vlcc with ma mom and i used it for a long time…but what a waste of time n money 🙁
yeah they ahve oil too.. actualy now they have removed evn more variants… for different parts of the body i gues.. wonder why ..and wonder how many ppl use… iv never heard anything good/bad abt it ever… 😐 😐 😐
thats right…for the tummy…for the thighs…etc…i think its called shape up or summin like that…they recommend it to all people following their weight loss treatment ..i know few people who have used the products but it made no difference … 🙁 🙁
I have always been sooper tempted to buy it but then I resisted . Now I am so glad I never picked it up. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Thanks for the review, I almost picked it up off the shelf yesterday but then resisted it to get a lil update from the reviews. The entire product range appears so inviting on the shelf, but now I am never going to buy it. I too am a believer of balanced diet and excercise. So lets keep it that way.
do these vlcc shape up gels really work on the body? 😐
i tried diet, cardio, walking, everythin but nothin is workin out….tot these shape-up gels may help…. donno wat 2 do….
I also bought n tried alll of vlcc anti cellulite creams n gels but not an iota of diff won’t recommend.thanks for the article.
losing weight has always been a primary concern for indian women….but one thing has to be understood by all those who wish to lose weight n b slim….n that is being slim not necessarily being fit n healthy….so its more important to eat healthy and follow a strict exercise regime….
I was just going through reviews and stumbled up here. I am sorry to go against it but it helped me a bit. Not that it makes you lose weight but if you have bloating or sagging tummy like me then it helps. I could see the difference as before usage I could not get into a dress and after a week I could. Off course, there is exercise and diet etc but for tightening purpose I liked it. I used Vlcc tummy slimming oil. It says massage and put a hot towel on that area or massage and exercise for ten minutes. :/ This gel, I don’t know.. but oil works!
omg…..i wos just about to buy this one…. *waaa* *headbang*
tthanxxx neha u saved my money *thankyou* *oye balle*
I had no idea about this as i didnt check reviews about this brand earlier. I have already enrolled for a treatment for post pregnancy tummy at vlcc. I donno how well it’s going to work. After each session they ask me if am using the shape up. But I haven’t bought it so far thinking it would be further waste of money. Now I have got few burn marks on my tummy after the second session. And have some pain too… Pls don’t go to vlcc. It’s waste of money and time..
