"This is their [...] 0.25% Retinol Body Serum. It's a very lightweight serum. [...] I've been using it everywhere about three times a week. It says you can use it up to four times a week. I'm only using it three times a week. And I've been layering it with the ones body. So I'll put the ones body on as a little buffer to the retinol and then I'll put the Soft Services retinol on. [...] I have been really surprised about the number of dark spots on my body area that I've been able to get rid of just with over the counter sticking with a good skincare routine for the body."
