I did NOT know that there are retinol body creams these days — and whatever article I read discussing them actually recommended this inexpensive Gold Bond lotion.
(I think it was this WSJ article — here’s a gift link.)
I’ve had the lotion for a few weeks now and like it on my legs and arms at night. I still use my prescription tretinoin on my face, as well as my neck (but I use it less often on my neck and mix it with CeraVe PM).
Like I said, I like it. It doesn’t have a scent and spreads easily. And for the price I don’t really worry about it too much.
You can find it at Amazon (where they have a S&S coupon as well as a promotion to save 15% when you spend $35 on select items), Target, Walmart, and other drug stores. When comparing prices do note that there’s a 13-oz option as well as a 7-oz option.
Psst: Here’s my latest skincare routine! I use a peptide serum, then Vitamin C, then my moisturizer, then sunscreen. (I save my prescription tretinoin for before bed.) I also occasionally use this BHA, this overnight mask, this 20-minute mask, and this 1-5 minute mask. (Never all at once!) When my skin is feeling especially dry I do like this snail essence paired with this crazy rich cream.
