No, it’s much looser.

So welcome – yes good idea – please do let me know how you get on. Retinol body products aren’t yet mainstream and if it’s cheaper to customise your own then I want to write about it. x

Thank you- as always such a helpful and considered response. I have gone for the most entry level product I could find, the Versed body retinol and first impressions, as a body lotion, are that I really like it. Has squalane so feels juicy. I look forward to seeing if results are noticeable. Thank you again

Funnily enough, I’ve been testing retinol on my legs where I have bumpy skin (KP) and have to say it’s working. I’m using a face retinol (Cerave) because that’s what I have here, so I think, depending upon your requirements, I’d advocate for retinol in body cream. That said, we are coming into summer, it’s not a great time to do it because more of you is exposed and if it’s for just smaller areas, I’d probably just get the cheapest retinol face cream I could find and patch test that. I think I’d prefer to refer you to AHA body cream – Gatineau AHA or Ameliorate. If you decide to go retinol, Paula’s Choice gets the best ratings.
