Write A ReviewDermaDoctor Shrinking Beauty Overview
DermaDoctor Shrinking Beauty is a topical cream that supposedly follows the same modus operandi that lobsters use in order to shrink enough to shed their shells. The company hails a “lobster weight loss inspired strategy” that includes “the perfect balance” of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids that, when applied to cellulite-plagued areas such as the buttocks, abdomen and thighs, could decrease dimples and make skin look and feel smoother.
The product website does not make any explanations as to how their product actually works. This would lead one to believe that it is basically similar to many other cellulite “reduction” products: it moisturizes skin intensely, makes it look shinier, and this improved surface texture gives the impression that there are less ripple.
It should be used twice a day and massaged in for 20-30 seconds. No minimum time before results can be expected was mentioned on the product website, although some reviewers and the test results undertaken by the company suggest that two weeks might be enough to see some improvement.

What Else You Need to Know?
The DermaDoctor Shrinking Beauty cream has no known side effects. The product has been allergy tested satisfactorily and is proven to be non-irritating to skin, although no distinctions were made between different skin types.
Additional positives include the fact that this cream is non-comedogenic, is fragrance free and contains no dyes, shellfish, gluten or parabens. It does, however, contain disodium EDTA, which is used as a sneaky substitute for parabens and is becoming nearly as controversial.
Final Verdict
At about $58 for just under 5.6 fluid ounces, this product is just slightly on the expensive side. Its list of ingredients and the promises that the company makes differ little from those of other products. Despite the quirky, “luxury” sounding lobster theme, it could be considered as a standard topical anti cellulite cream with nothing spectacular about it at all. You will end up with the same “shell” that you had before, only a great deal smoother and, with a little luck, possibly less dimpled.
Cellulite refers to fat deposits under the surface of the skin giving it a dimpled, irregular appearance. The vast majority of women have cellulite, some estimates are as high as 90 percent. Cellulite is routinely found in the thighs, hips, buttocks, and stomach. Unfortunately, maintaining an optimal body weight, eating healthy, staying active, and even regular exercise may not be enough to combat cellulite.
