This is an active ingredient. Anyone know how it should be translated? My best guess so far is "lipo-reverse" but I am far from sure.
Please only answer if you can provide some kind of evidence or learned opinion... ;)
Thanks in advance.

anti-cellulite
This is the type of claim that cosmetics companies use- the cream will remove /dissolve cellulite (despite the fact that there is no cream that will dissolve body fat!)
Example sentence:
So-called 'anti-cellulite' creams do not remove fat, they merely plump up the skin to make it look smoother.

adiporeverse
Hi,
Nothing particularly learned about my opinion, but I would say that 'adipo' is a prefix for adipocyte or adipose (fat) and that it should be the same in English. Looks like a reasonable name in both languages.

: yes it can be understood in both languages and I don't think, as it would seem to be a name originally proposed for a product, that it should be changed in the translation anyway

if you break it up into Adipo reverse you might be on the riught track here. in context of diet , braking down the fat cells, not sure how this fits with the cream, but maybe it gets you into the right direction.

-- Plasmid constructions
Complementary DNA was synthesized from the total
RNA in mouse adipose tissue (Biochain Institute, CA,USA). In the construction of pCMV-Ad, cDNA coding
for bp 1–744 of mouse Adipo was amplified
by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using the following
Adipo-specific primers: Adipo forward primer
(5-GAAAAGCTTaccATGCTACTGTTGCAAGCTCTC);
**Adipo reverse primer** (5-GAATCTAGATCAGTTGGTATCATGGTAGA).

-- Abstract
Background
Adiponectin (Adipo), an adipocyte hormone involved in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, has already been identified as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of diabetes. However, successful delivery of Adipo to the receptors is difficult due to their peptide characteristics. Receptors for Adipo are abundantly expressed in the liver and skeletal muscle.

Discussion
'Modifier le descriptif de certains actifs (ex : adiporeverse)'
You could be onto something here. Perhaps this is not in fact an ingredient, but rather a description of one.
