What the gurus are saying

Gurus praise the lotion as a hydrating, non-greasy retinol option that avoids the dryness common in other retinol body products. The encapsulated retinol is noted for gentler, more stable penetration, making it suitable for sensitive skin or retinol newcomers. The main hesitation centers on price point relative to alternatives like Gold Bond, and one reviewer wishes the retinol percentage were disclosed.

"It has encapsulated retinol, allantoin, shea butter, and sodium PCA. I do wish they said what percentage of retinol was in it, because they don't, and that's annoying because they do for your face. It's nice. It's very moisturizing. It's definitely more expensive than the Gold Bond one. It absorbed nicely, felt very buttery and moisturizing without feeling heavy, but it feels a little bit heavier and kind of sits on the top layer of the skin. If you are someone whose skin on your body is just too sensitive or it has been very sensitive to retinol and you want to use a retinol lotion, this is nice because it combats that dryness with the amount of hydration. If you're someone who's sensitive or have dry skin, you would probably like this a little bit better. I've used other retinol body lotions before and I find those very drying, so if you've used those and you don't like them, this is a good option. I just don't know if it's my favorite for the price."

"I go through one tube at least a month. I love retinoids, I love a retinoid, and Retinol for your body I mean I think that only makes sense if you're going to be using a retinoid and preaching to use a retinoid, which is like that gold standard ingredient for not just anti-aging but also for just any skin issue that you might be dealing with. I feel like a retinoid is great for that, so why wouldn't you use it on your body? This lotion is fragrance free, it feels super nice, it's creamy, it's nourishing, it's not greasy but it feels like it gives you that perfect amount of moisture while also giving you that really beautiful smooth skin that you want from a retinoid. This has encapsulated retinol in here, meaning that it's going to help keep the retinol more stable, it's going to penetrate your skin better, you'll have less chances of irritation. It doesn't remove the chances of irritation but it does give you more even slower penetration from the ingredients, so if you tend to have sensitive skin or you're new to retinoid, this is a good one to introduce. It also has shea butter in here and sodium PCA."
