What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently praise this retinol body treatment for effectively tackling discoloration, texture, and fine lines without causing irritation or excessive dryness. The formula's combination of retinol, vitamin C derivative, shea butter, and evening primrose is credited with delivering visible results while maintaining comfort and softness. The main practical note is that the 118ml size depletes quickly if applied to the entire body, so targeted use on problem areas is recommended.

"This is Paula's Choice, this is one of my favorite for the body. It's a skin smoothing retinol body treatment with antioxidants that diminishes appearance of uneven skin tone, helps provide firmer skin, hydrates and softens. Retinoids are the best ingredient because they hit all three different phases of hyperpigmentation: the production, the transfer to the skin, and then the treatment afterwards. You can use this for the whole body."

"This is fabulous for those that have uneven skin tone, so if you have a lot of discoloration on your chest, your hands, or anywhere else on your body, you have texture, or if you have fine lines, this is going to be a great product to treat all of these concerns. It contains retinol but it also has a vitamin C derivative, so I do feel like this is quite brightening as well when you're consistent with it. It contains shea butter and evening primrose, so it's also very moisturizing. I've never had an issue with irritation with this, I've never had an issue with dryness. It actually performs well and it just keeps my skin feeling nice and comfortable, but it's also treating my skin at the same time. I like to be consistent with this every night before I go to bed, and it does a very good job to keep everything super soft and texture free. The only thing I will say is that if you decide to use this all over your body, you will go through this pretty quickly since it contains 118 mils of product, so I would recommend just using this on your most troubled areas."
