"This topicals exfoliating body serum is here. It has retinol. It has lactic acid and urea. It also has ubiquinone which is an antioxidant that has decent penetration in the skin. It can help improve ubiquinone or Q10 levels in your own skin. This is on offer here for $12.99, which I think is a pretty good deal. However, urea, lactic acid, hello intensive."

"This is the one by Topicals, it's called Slather. I've been using it for years. It has urea, it has lactic, it has squalene, and it has retinol. It is a beautiful exfoliating body lotion for after the shower. I also use it on a daily basis if my legs are just looking a little creepy. I love the serum. It's a repeat since it launched, I think two, almost maybe three years ago. I love it."

"It's also got urea for moisturizing the skin, as well as encapsulated retinol [...] so it stays stable and doesn't get compromised before it reaches the areas it's targeting, the dark spots. [...] I think this is a really great product, [...] really amazing [...] if you have oily skin because it doesn't have all those thick butters and waxes that could potentially make you feel congested. [...] I'm currently using it and I'm loving every minute of it."

"Topicals Slather has an exfoliating body serum which has retinol, lactic acid, and urea. Just beware going to the beach you do not want to burn if you are using retinol on your body you really do have to protect your skin with a UV visor, a UPF rash guard, you name it."

"I love how they have this kind of dichotomy of ingredients right, you've got this good nourishing and loving ingredients but you've got the heavy hitters that can help with exfoliating the skin and you can also bring in the hydration properties of the skin. If you want buttery, soft, smooth skin you definitely should be exfoliating maybe two times a week or so on the body and this is a great product to do it."
