It’s no secret that I’m a fan of clever skincare ingredients, so it’s thrilling to see active formulations crossing over into body care. While we’re religiously slathering retinoids on our faces, most of us are guilty of neglecting the rest of our skin. Something Naturium is here to change with their Retinol Body Lotion. Now available at SpaceNK and Boots for those of us in the UK, it’s a real game-changer.
What is it?
A body lotion with retinol in designed to tackle many skin concerns, from signs of ageing to pigmentation and breakouts.
What Do I Think?
Let’s dive in. This lotion works to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness, all while keeping irritation at bay. Formulated with a stabilised, encapsulated retinol complex and soothing allantoin, it softens and nourishes while helping to calm redness. It’s a godsend for anyone dealing with unevenness or rough patches.
First impressions? The texture is glorious. It’s creamy without being heavy, sinking in almost instantly with minimal effort. No endless rubbing, no greasy film, and – crucially – it’s unfragranced, so it won’t clash with your perfume or leave a medicinal smell behind. It delivers enough hydration to satisfy dry skin types without being cloying, making it equally appealing to those who hate the feel of traditional body creams. And for anyone rushing out the door, you’ll appreciate that it doesn’t stick to your clothes.
Now, the results. My skin hasn’t looked or felt this good in years. It’s visibly brighter and smoother, with a softness that feels almost impossible to achieve from a single product. Redness and patchiness have all but disappeared, and the pesky keratosis pilaris (those bumpy patches on my upper arms) has smoothed out beautifully. Even dry, itchy areas have become a thing of the past, thanks to its impressive hydration.
Would I recommend?
In short, Naturium Skin Renewing Retinol Body Lotion is a triumph. If you’re looking for firmer, brighter, and more even skin, this is well worth your money. My only gripe? SpaceNK, please bring over the jumbo size available in the US. This one’s a keeper, and I need more of it – immediately.
