You already know (or should know) the importance of utilizing retinol in your facial skin care routine: it's one of the best ingredients you can keep in your anti-aging arsenal thanks to its ability to improve texture, accelerate skin cell turnover and boost collagen production. But can retinol offer the same benefits for your body?
The answer is yes, and because nobody wants to spend their time and money lathering on multiple tubes of facial retinol head-to-toe, Nécessaire has done the hard work for you by dedicating the essential ingredient to skin below the neck with The Body Retinol. This bestselling body treatment is designed as a repair serum for areas including the neck, chest, décolleté, stomach, butt, arms and legs—areas that deserve
the same love you're giving to the skin on your face.
Suited for nighttime use, the fast-drying and hypoallergenic formula combines 0.1% pure encapsulated retinol with glycerin and vitamin B3 to address and minimize the look of crepiness, fine lines, uneven skin tone, loss of firmness, spots and sun damage.

While incorporating a retinol may invoke a bit of anxiety for anyone with sensitive skin, rest assured that Necessaire's formula contains happy-skin ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, rosewater and glycerin to support your skin's barrier. Start out by using The Body Retinol once or twice a week, and follow up with a lotion or moisturizer to reduce potential irritation. You only need 1–2 pumps for targeted areas, and 4–6 pumps for your entire body. When it comes to retinol, slow and steady wins the race.
If you're a first-time shopper at Necessaire, you can save $10 off an order of $80 or more—incentive to stock up on multiple products or to combine The Body Retinol with a top-rated complement like The Body Wash or The Body Lotion.
