Reviews

Amazing Product

"I use the product on my arms and legs , more emphasis on the top . The product leaves my skin looking firmer and you can feel it tightening slightly. It is expensive but so worth it , I look out for the offers ."

— Mrs J. (5/5)

I only used the product

"I only used the product for a week, but so far looks good, keeps my skin moist for long and added products for the face have very good effects on my skin. Difficult to say now long term effects."

— Ana K. (5/5)

This makes my skin look glowing

"This makes my skin look glowing . The only problem is that I get through a tub in a fortnight so it works out to be very expensive for me . However I would recommend it . My skin just absorbs it very quickly and it is not left oily or unpleasant ."

— Alison M. (5/5)

Unbelievable

"I couldn't believe i was spending this much on a jar of cream. But looking at my apron belly was depressing me so much i did. This cream is worth every penny. It works. My skin has never looked better. And I can see such a difference on my stomach. Time to take out a 2nd mortgage!"

— Karen (5/5)

— Vicki C. (4/5)

great cream, easy to use

"great cream, easy to use and with a good smell"

— ELISABETTA P. (5/5)

Not quite what I expected but results TBC

"I wanted to try something that had a good chance of firming up certain areas of my skin and reading the reviews and ingredients this one seemed like a good one to hedge bets on (I've worked in pharma science so always sceptical, but the ravages of age have pushed me to try new things ;D ) The product is much thicker than expected and needs a lot of work/massaging to be absorbed - perhaps a feature that contributes to results. It also stays tacky for awhile so find myself wandering about before bed while it dries. I am finding you need quite a lot of is as well so not sure how long it will last. It's only Week 1 so no results yet - if I do get some, will make all of the above worthwhile, TBC."

— Myriah L. (3/5)

A big letdown

"Having read such positive reviews from trusted Beauty Editors, I bought two jars. I reckoned that would be a fair length to use the cream on my arms and thighs. I applied it religiously every night for eight weeks and I can report absolutely no change! A very expensive product, with specific claims made for its efficacy. In my case…. A waste of money!"

— Chris R. (1/5)

Love it

"Works well smooths and gives skin it’s bounce back. Wish it wasn’t so $$$$"

— Dalit C. (5/5)

Q&A

Hi, Does this work for hyper pigmentation and stretch marks
Thank you for your question This product is formulated to support visible improvement in stretch mark appearance and overall skin tone, it isn’t a targeted hyperpigmentation treatment in the same way products designed specifically for dark spots are. What it does do well is encourage surface cell turnover and renewal thanks to the retinal technology, this can help reduce the look of old stretch marks and support a more even tone overall. One very important thing to note: because retinal increases cell turnover, it can also make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so it is essential to apply SPF to your body. Unprotected sun exposure can lead to more pigmentation and counteract the benefits of the treatment. I hope this answers your question!
Can this be used on breasts?
Hi, Thank you for your question! Yes, the Retinal ReSculpt Body Treatment can be used on the breast area, provided the skin is intact and not irritated. However, we recommend avoiding application to particularly delicate or sensitive areas of skin. As this product contains retinal, it's a good idea to introduce it gradually if you're new to vitamin A products and to perform a patch test before first use. If you experience any irritation, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Please note that the product has not been specifically tested on all areas of the body, so we can only recommend use as directed and on areas of skin similar to those for which it was designed. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under the care of a healthcare professional for a skin condition, we recommend avoiding use and seeking medical advice before introducing any retinoid-based product. For more details, please feel free to reach out to our customer care.
Does the cream have to be applied daily?
Hello, Thank you for your question! The Retinal ReSculpt Body Treatment is a high-strength retinal product, so we recommend introducing it gradually rather than using it every day straight away. You can start by applying it 1–2 times per week, allowing your skin time to adjust. If your skin tolerates it well over time, you may be able to increase frequency. However, daily use is not always necessary and may increase the risk of dryness or sensitivity, especially in the early stages. If you do experience sensitivity, you can reduce how often you use it or apply a moisturiser before or after (allowing each layer to fully absorb before applying the next) to help support your skin barrier. As with all retinal products, please ensure you are using SPF during the day to protect your skin. If you have any further questions, feel free to let us know, we’re happy to help!
Is it cruelty free and vegan?
Hello, Yes! The Retinal ReSculpt Body Treatment is both cruelty-free and vegan, so it’s formulated without any animal-derived ingredients and is not tested on animals. I hope this helps!
Been using for a week no noticeable difference. Do you need to use or after a dhower
Hi Susan, You don't have to shower before applying this product, but Dr Murad suggests that a warm bath or shower prior to application is helpful, and he also recommends body brushing with a soft bristle body brush before bathing to stimulate the skin and help remove toxins. These are optional steps you can include or simply apply to your skin at night time and shower the next morning.

    Yes, this formula has a light, subtle fragrance that many users find pleasant.

    This is formulated with encapsulated retinal to help minimise irritation while still being efficacious, but we recommend trying it on a small area as patch test. For those who may be prone to sensitivity, it's generally best to introduce retinal slowly. Using it just a few nights per week, on non-consecutive evenings, alternating with your preferred body moisturiser, to help support skin comfort as tolerance builds.

    It's best for signs of ageing including crepey or sagging skin, cellulite, stretch marks, and areas needing improved tone and elasticity.

Apply SPF 30 or higher in the morning as retinal increases sun sensitivity.

    Yes, retinal works well with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. If you're using vitamin C, we recommend using vitamin C in the morning and retinal at night. This approach allows both ingredients to work effectively while reducing potential irritation. Vitamin C provides antioxidant protection during the day, while retinal supports skin's natural repair overnight.
