Cottage cheese, dimply skin, cellulite. No matter what you call it, up to 80 percent of women struggle with it every day. Dozens of creams promise a quick fix, bud do they work?

Paula Begoun, comsetics expert says, "It's a bit of a fool's game to believe those creams labeled as cellulite creams are really doing anything for your thigh."

Begoun chose five of the most popular creams to test: Avon Cellu-Sculpt, L'Oreal Body Expertise, Shiseido Body Creator, Clarins Body Lift, and Cellulite Attack. All promise to improve the appearance of the skin in just four weeks. Plastic surgeon Thomas Zaydon agreed to oversee the test in five women. He rated their cellulite from one to five, five being the worst. Each woman was assigned a product.

Four weeks later Zaydon says the woman using the Claring Body Lift dropped her cellulite rating from a two to a one. Three of the other creams also made the skin feel smoother, but the women's cellulite ratings all stayed the same.

Shiseido, Cellulite Attack and Clarins chose not to comment on the results of this test. Avon and L'Oreal Paris stand behind their products.
