Alva Naturkosmetik Intensive Refining Cream for Cellulite Alva's Intensive Refining Cream for Cellulite has succeeded in dealing with cellulite by combining three highly effective active ingredients, all of which have been tested and proven in clinical studies. The three-way complex smoothes the "orange peel" appearance of cellulite whilst tightening and regenerating loose skin. Alva tell us the cream works like this: 



1) Caffeine from organic coffee purifies the tissues, at the same time activating the enzyme triacylglycerol lipase, helping to break down and metabolise fat. It also acts as an antioxidant, a diuretic and a vaso-constrictor. Caffeine helps to dehydrate fat cells. 



2) L-arginine tightens muscles and problem areas. The metabolism of L-arginine leads to the formation of nitric oxide, an important catalyst for the healthy dilation of blood vessels, circulation and blood flow. Other research indicates that L-arginine may support healthy lipid metabolism. 



3) Wellmune builds up the skin's immune system, regenerates the cells by activating fibroblasts, and optimises long-term skin elasticity. The action of the fibroblasts gradually overhaul the skin, giving it a 'spring clean' from the inside and renewing the extra-cellular matrix. 



GMTV's Dr Anu Bhatia says: “I’m a huge fan of Alva Intensive Refining Cream. Within two to three days I noticed my cellulite had improved and my skin felt softer and rejuvenated. It was so good I went back after a week for another bottle - I have never had that experience with a cellulite cream before and I have used many.”

"I use this product both morning and night to the exclusion of most other face creams. I love its rich creamy feel which absorbs without leaving my skin greasy or clammy. The perfume is lovely and even my husband said how nice it was. I would recommend this product to anyone who likes to look after their skin.
