Gold Bond Age Renew Retinol Overnight Body & Face Lotion, With Retinol & Peptide Complex, 13 oz.

Personally I love it. My skin leans dry, which is mostly taken care of with good serums and moisturizers, and consistent use of sunscreen. Overall my skin looks good. I'm knocking on 50's door with no wrinkles, nearly no lines or sagging.That being said, I can see little skin bits on my face when I look up close. I hate the way make up looks because of it, and pretty much gave up make up 10+ years ago. I have tried retinol products, most very high end, and most are too much for my skin even at low levels. "Retinol uglies" is a thing I cant avoid no matter what routine/advice I follow. Gentler acids are nice for upkeep of rest of face but nothing touching those weird little bits of what I assume are dry skin.There are very few drugstore products I like, but there are a few. I never would have considered trying this Gold Bond retinol product, but I kept seeing it recommended in a Gen X group I am in. Since it wasn't too pricy, and I figured if anything I can use it on body and feet if I dont like it for my face, I decided to try it.I have been using it for a FULL month, EVERY single night. I happened to be someone who noticed a difference with first use, with cumulative benefit seen and felt. My skin does feel softer, smoother, and the weird little bits arent as noticeable. I have even decided to start dabbling in make up again. I still prefer to use some spackle primer, but for once I have not washed my face off right after putting on make up.No noticeable scent. Not perfumed. If there is a scent it is very very mild. I get scent nausea easily and I dont have any issues with this at all.Unlike some reviewers, I DO NOT find it greasy, at all. Nor does it sit heavy despite slathering it on. It is THICK, but it massages in easily, and doesnt make me feel slick. In fact, I would prefer it to be more moisturizing. Yet it does not leave my skin looking or feeling dry. Just not as moist. Does make the next days skin care seem to work better!Because it has retinol (albeit probably a very low amount), I only use it at night. I also use it on the back of my hands, forearms, neck, and chest. If I used it during the day, I would need an added layer of moisture, and my sunscreen of course.With Urea being at top of ingredient list, I half wonder if that is doing the heavy lifting so to speak. I am fine with whatever is in here as it just seems to be working. I already plan to buy another bottle (so I dont run out) and maybe a smaller tube for use on the go.I'm really pleased with the changes in my skin since using this. It has been great for back of my hands which are exposed to light all the time. Even with diligent use of sunscreen, it is hard to maintain that (hand washing, etc). I a glad I decided to try it out on a whim.One added note, TO BE FAIR, I found the bottle a little cumbersome to initially get to open and to get primed to dispense product. I thought I had a faulty bottle, but with patience and effort I got it going. It has a THICK CONSISTENCY, so I can see why it was hard to get going, and why the bottle needs to have added air inside (hence why it feels "empty"--and why the need to remind people that product sold based on weight not volume).---------------------------------------------------------------------------------INGREDIENTS:Water, Hydroxyethyl Urea, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter Extract, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Stearyl Alcohol, Niacinamide, Selaginella Lepidophylla Extract, Steareth-21, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Jojoba Esters, Jojoba Oil/Macadamia Seed Oil Esters, Squalene, Phytosteryl Macadamiate, Phytosterols, Tocopherol, Retinol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sodium Ascorbate, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12, Polysorbate 60, Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Lens Esculenta (Lentil) Fruit Extract, Sodium Lactate, Sodium PCA, Propylene Glycol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Stearamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate, Butylene Glycol, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Ethylhexylglycerin, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Panthenol, Disodium EDTA, Citric Acid, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Tribehenin, Ceramide Ng, PEG-10 Phytosterol, Caramel

I've been playing around with different products for my dry and flaky skin especially in the colder months. I've bought the serums and the night creams . I've slathered on the 40-50$ creams and the " just for men designed" products but I was using gold bond for my hands during the coldest part of the year to help with the cracked bleeding knuckles that happen from working in the cold and decided to try it on my face. ... WOW. immediately relieved my dry skin, gave me life and plumped my dehydrated cells. After a few weeks of using it I see fewer deep lines and my skin feels soft and supple and the flakey painful dryness has given way to a rich moist glowing complexion. It has a very pleasing and non offensive scent that is light enough to slather all over and the moisturizing effects last from shower to shower.!

It's typical for Gold Bond in that it moisturizes and improves skin quality. I'm not using it regularly yet so can't give it 5 stars but think the value for the cost is excellent and a retinol product is wonderful.

I’ve tried so many lotions over the years, but Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Lotion is hands down one of the best. It absorbs quickly without feeling greasy and provides long-lasting moisture that actually heals dry, cracked skin. After just a few days of use, my skin felt noticeably softer and healthier. I especially love that it contains aloe and vitamins. Perfect for daily use, especially during colder months or for people who wash their hands often. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable, effective lotion! Nice scent!

This Gold Bond cream is a miracle! Last month when I was on a family vacation at the Jersey Shore, I took several pics and selfies of my family and me. I could not believe how crepey my neck and chest looked. Terrible in pictures! When I came home from the trip, I ordered this creme. I used it 2Xs/day for two weeks. The crepey look is gone, it is! I am going to keep using it AND the amazing low price is unbeatable. This is a must have!

After using this lotion every night for a few weeks, the results are noticeable. In the mornings, skin feels softer, smoother, and hydrated. Skin texture has visibly improved after a few days, and fine lines appear diminished. Its lightweight formula absorbs quickly, leaving no greasy residue.Being fragrance-free is an advantage, particularly for those sensitive to scents. Skin feels plump, hydrated, and healthy.

I have used every single expensive body, face moisturizer on the market. As a licensed esthetician and barber I normally don’t buy grocery store brands either, BUT that about to change with this product. This is the most moisturizer body lotion I’ve ever used that doesn’t feel like it either sits on top my skin or absorbs to nothing and only lasting 5 hours. I’m very picky on chemicals in these products these days and I’m happy to read on my Yuka app how good this product is without all the endocrine disrupters that’s in all of our products.I’ve mixed it out of the shower with some castor oil drops too after a good exfoliation and that’s a game changer also. I was in a hurry the other day and ended up slapping some on my face to speed up the “shower routine and skin ritual”.I usually can’t do this or I’m breaking out the next day. Well, just WOW. No breakouts, skin is so soft and while it won’t necessarily replace my face routine, I’m thinking I can just bring the smaller size of this with me when traveling to avoid packing so many products. I’m just thrilled I can save money using this price tier of product as it’s so affordable for everyone.
