What the gurus are saying

Gurus agree the formula itself is genuinely moisturizing and effective, but the scent is a consistent sticking point, described as funky and off-putting enough that one reviewer resorted to cologne to mask it. The product appears practical for those already using retinol on the face and want complementary body coverage, though the smell may be a dealbreaker for fragrance-sensitive users.

"I hated the smell so I had to spray my entire body with cologne because I didn't want to have to hop back in the shower and restart the process again. Besides the scent of this, I think the formula is really nice and moisturizing, but yeah I just can't with the scent."

"I got this from Josie Maran, the pink algae Pro retinol body butter. I do use tretinoin on my face, so this is the kind of thing I'll use on my hands whenever a brand sends me a retinol serum. I just ran out of all of my retinol body cream, so this is perfect. It does have kind of a funky smell and it's a little bit of a pinkish color. I'm interested and I'll keep you posted."
