What the gurus are saying

This serum wins praise for being remarkably light and non-sticky, so clothes don't cling after application and you can layer it under a heavier lotion without feeling weighed down. Gurus highlight that having a dedicated body serum (rather than repurposing face products) makes the step feel intentional and reminds people to care for body skin as seriously as facial skin, and the fragrance-free formula suits those with sensitivities; it also carries an eczema seal of acceptance. The lightweight texture means you'll get through a bottle more slowly than you would a face serum applied to a larger area.

"Necessary Body Serum. It's quite light, very light, very airy. There's nothing I hate more than putting on a body cream and then your clothes feel sticky. I don't have that problem with this."
Approved
"Their Body Serum I very much enjoy. It's a light Body Serum and I apply this right when I get out of the shower, then I can finish up getting ready, and then by the time I'm ready to put my thick body lotion on I put it on over this."

"The Necessaire Body Serum, this is a nice lightweight quick product and no scent to it."
Approved
"Necessaire have a body specific serum that can help to target skin texture and skin tone on the body. When it's formulated for the body it's going to be way more appropriate, and body care products are definitely going to be more economical and intended for widespread use so you're definitely going to get something that you won't run out in just like a week or two when you're using facial care products on body."

"The Body Serum is fabulous and has a lot of hydrating ingredients in it. For me personally, I've learned that if I have products that are dedicated to my body, I'm more likely to use them because it reminds me to be like, oh yeah, I should take care of the skin on my body, not just my face. It's nice to have a dedicated serum for the body since I always like to do treatments on my face and I don't want to neglect my body. It's fragrance-free, which is so great."
Approved
"I loved adding this into my routine so after I dry off in the shower I spray my little spray to get my back and then I apply the serum and then I apply a lotion on top. Yes it made a difference to my skin. It's empty and I haven't been able to replace it because my space and K does not carry this or they were just out of it so I am without the serum right now and I'm a little bummed. I think we all need a serum step. I think if you're my age a serum step is gold dust so I'll be repurchasing that."
