Hands up if you sometimes put retinoids on your body.
I do, and the only thing preventing me from doing it more is that the tube of retinol is SO SMALL.
Well, now there’s Retinol body cream from Naturewell Beauty and you can find it at Walmart. When I posted about this body cream on my Insta, everyone was excited about it – turns out that retinol on our bodies is the one thing that’s been missing from our routines, and we want to add it back in. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one excited about this!
This cream actually has Retinol and Retinyl Palmitate in the ingredient list, and no, they’re not listed right at the bottom either (swipe to see). While these forms of retinol are not as strong as prescription, they’re still effective, they’re just more gentle and take more time to act on your skin.
The cream is creamy and moisturizing but not greasy. It absorbs fairly quickly. It is more of a lotion than a body butter. I love that this tub is so large and I believe it comes in a larger size as well. There is also a pump available but reviews suggest that it is not the most effective and getting lotion out of the jar. Someone asked my if it made my skin the way that retinol on your face can, and I’d have to say that even after using it every day, I haven’t noticed that. This is not very moisturizing, but it didn’t make my skin more dry than usual. If you have very dry skin or your skin is prone to dryness, then use an oil on top of this and see if it helps!
Have you used retinol on your body? Did it work?
Between $18-$20 and available at Walmart.
