The active compounds in Gotu Kola, such as asiaticoside and madecassoside, have increased type I collagen production in the Skin. This contributes to greater firmness and elasticity, reducing the appearance of cellulite. (4)

2. Improves Microcirculation in the Skin

Studies have shown that Gotu Kola can enhance Microcirculation in the Skin. This improvement in circulation helps prevent excessive fat accumulation in cells, which is a key factor in cellulite formation. (1)

3. Anti-Inflammatory Properties That Reduce Cellulite-Related Inflammation

Gotu Kola extracts possess anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce inflammation in the Skin, contributing to a smoother and more even appearance. (1)

4. Effective Topical Application for Cellulite Reduction
