The 13 Best Cellulite Creams, According to Dermatologists

You know that phrase about the only things certain about life are death and taxes? I have a lot of additions to add to the list for the 21st century, but they mostly revolve around social media and dating apps. Oh, and stretch marks and cellulite. Listen—pretty much everyone has got 'em.

I remember the angry stretch marks I got during puberty. They started off as brown and lined the middle of my stomach. (At 13 years old, it was a big bummer for me, as I wanted to wear a bikini to a boy-girl pool party) As for cellulite, I got that around high school on my thighs and butt. Again, not so great for beach days and those usual teenage self-esteem issues.

These days at age 31, I'm feeling pretty ambivalent towards both of them—and not that this matters really, but I've never had a guy I was dating complain about them, so truly who cares? But like the amateur beauty detective I consider myself to be (see what I learned about sunscreen here and exfoliation here), I wanted to figure out what the deal with cellulite was. Stretch marks, I'll get to you another time. So, I reached out to two dermatologists to get the scoop.
