NécessaireThe Body Retinol - Firming Repair Serum + Retinol Body Lotion For Women & Men. Wrinkle + Line Prevention. 0.1% Pure + 10% AHA Crepey Skin Treatment. 5.1 oz

I have purchased this lotion 3 times already. I didn’t really do a before and after, however, I can say that it does leave my skin very soft and feeling hydrated but not too oily either. I use it even on my neck (which is very thin and sensitive) sometimes and I haven’t had and irritation or pimples. It is a bit pricey but I think it is definitely worth it because it’s skincare and you definitely don’t want to go cheap on that. It has a very nice soft scent to it, which I barely even notice honestly. It will not fix crepey skin or stretch marks. You’re better off using pure trentonin (retinol). I recommend giving it a go if you’re undecided. It also contains very clean ingredients, which may be of importance to some.

Too soon to tell if it’s working but the cream is nice and easy to apply . Seems to moisturize well just hoping it works for the crepey upper arms

The Necessaire 0.1% retinol body lotion is the perfect formulation, absorbs within two minutes of application, and leaves the skin silky and hydrated.The scent is very faint, and dissipates within moments of application.It requires several weeks of consistent nightly use before yielding any visible reduction in skin crepiness. Perhaps a higher concentration of retinol would result in higher efficacy?Premium priced product that will most likely become a staple in my skincare regimen.

The influencer hype is true! I really didn't want to love this as much as I did but it's both a pleasure to use and really effective. A lot of body lotions make your skin smooth and supple but require a long dry down period so you can't get dressed for 15 minutes or longer after applying. This doesn't require a dry down period at all, you can get dressed and move with your day right away.

I was skeptical at first because I've tried everything to fade the age spots on my hands and forearms -- short of having laser done. It's been 3 weeks and my sun damage is almost completely faded and my age spots nearly gone. I'll be ordering this again and again. Don't forget to use SPF, even in winter, which is essential to maintaining results. Absolutely delighted with this product!

I’ve had this hand retinol “serum” formulation for a couple of months now. I’ve applied it sparingly, liberally, on completely dry hands, and on freshly washed hands. I’ve applied it to warm hands and cold hands. I’ve used it on its own in the evening, before bed, and I’ve applied it during the day, under sunscreen. I’ve tried to apply it as quickly as possible, and I’ve taken time to more thoroughly work it into my skin as effectively as possible. No matter what measures I’ve undertaken or how I’ve applied it, it pills and flakes all over the place.For years I’ve been a huge fan of Necessaire’s products. The original hand cream is still my all-time favorite for helping me really nourish and moisturize my hands, which have become drier with age and use. This new retinol “serum”, however, is a huge disappointing failure. I don’t understand why they’re calling it a serum because the texture is very much a white, whipped, creamy substance, like their hand cream, but that’s where the similarities end. The description states that it’s “Dermatologist-Tested”. It can’t have been tested under everyday, average use. Perhaps it’s okay as a spot treatment for someone who doesn’t need an application for their entire hands, but even with the slightest friction during a typical hand application, it ends up in messy, tiny pills/flakes all over your lap or on the floor instead of being absorbed into your skin.I noted in the title that there are over 60 ingredients in this 2.2 oz. tube that sells for $35.00. Retinol, one of THE weakest retinoids, is ingredient #12 on the full list. The #10 ingredient, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, is not allowed to be included in cosmetics that remain on the skin if it makes up more than 3% of the entire formula. That should tell you that, at its really low 0.25% strength, there is very little retinol (which is definitely not Tretinoin) in the tube. And there are many OTC products that contain retinol at levels nearly four times that strong, or 1.0%.I’ll try to use it as a spot treatment on some pigmented areas in an effort to get some value from it, but please, please don’t waste your money on this product if you want a weaker retinoid (retinol) that will truly be absorbed into your skin, as a real serum should.

Ordered June 28th and received product. The bottle felt empty the moment I opened it. I thought it was odd and just thought it may be a light airy product as this was my 1st purchase. As of July 26th approximately 1 month later it's completely empty. I see this is only contains 5.1 as other lotions i own thats are 8.4 still last longer than 3 months and are used multiple times through the day. The necessaire was used sparingly and didn't last at all. The product was great but felt like I received a used bottle.

Yes it works!
