We spend so much time treating our faces while completely forgetting that the skin on our neck, chest, arms, hands and legs ages too. But seeing “retinol” on a huge bottle of body lotion doesn’t automatically make it a good retinol treatment. I looked at the type and concentration of retinol when disclosed, stabilization and delivery systems, supporting ingredients, packaging, formulation and value.

One of the strongest dedicated body-retinol formulas on this list. Nécessaire — 0.1% encapsulated pure retinol. Elegant and well formulated. Paula’s Choice — 0.1% retinol and a straightforward, proven formula. Gold Bond — my budget pick. Alpha-H — the powerhouse: 1% encapsulated retinol plus glycolic and lactic acids. ‼️This is a treatment, not an everyday body lotion, so start slowly‼️ And remember: PASS doesn’t necessarily mean a bad moisturizer. It means that if my goal is specifically to invest in a RETINOL body treatment, I think there are better choices. Start slowly, moisturize if needed, and use sunscreen on exposed areas during the day. ‼️And no retinoids during pregnancy‼️ #retinolbodylotion #bodyretinol #retinolbodyserum #retinollotion #bodylotions - @yestojules
