How can i get rid of this awful cellulite on my thighs?

Since I dont do cheerleading anymore and ive been out of high school, I have noticed im getting cellulite on the backs of my thighs. I know exercise to target that area will help, so I am doing that. But how soon will I see results? I am also wondering if the creams really work and how long it will take for the cellulite to go away if i apply it as directed, like 2 times a day? Tell me about your nasty cellulite experiences please!
just an fyi to sweet sensimilla-i weigh 140 lbs and im 5'7"., and I work out 5 days a week.
