I tried 7 different body creams. Only 1 made my arms look younger.
Let me save you the time and money I wasted.
Over the past 4 years I’ve tried a £45 Clarins firming cream, Nivea Q10 by the tubful, the Bio-Oil my sister swore by, £35-a-month collagen sachets, a Crepe Erase kit I ordered off the telly, six months of arm workouts with a personal trainer, and finally, the waterless body oil every woman in my Pilates class kept talking about.
Six failures. One winner. Here’s the difference:
1. It feels like skin, not oil
The first thing I noticed was what wasn’t there. No greasy film. No tacky feeling. No standing around in my dressing gown waiting for it to dry. I smoothed it onto damp skin after my shower and within a minute it had disappeared into my skin, leaving my arms soft in a way no cream ever had.
2. My arms looked younger in four weeks
Something about it smoothed everything out. The crinkly skin above my elbows, the bit I’ve hidden for ten years, looked noticeably smoother by week four. Less pleated, and fresher. Not “filtered” younger. Just smoother, softer, and more like my arms at fifty.
3. No waiting weeks to feel a difference
I didn’t have to wait a month and hope. The next morning my arms felt like silk. By the end of the first week the rough, dry patches on my shins had gone smooth, and that tight, itchy feeling after the shower was gone completely. The look took a few weeks. The feel was instant.
4. It even worked on my “turkey” neck
Every cream I’d tried was fine on my arms and useless on my chest. This one I could see. The crepe-paper lines on my décolletage softened, and for the first time in years my neck didn’t look ten years older than my face. I bought a V-neck. Then another one.
5. A body oil without the greasy feel
I’ve ruined silk blouses with body oils before, so I was nervous. This is a light, dry oil. One or two pumps per area, massage upwards, and I’m dressed in a minute. Nothing on my sheets, nothing on my nightie. Just a soft lavender and rosy geranium scent, and no irritation. It’s become the nicest minute of my day.
6. Why it works when creams don’t
The secret is that it’s a barrier oil, not a cream. Creams are mostly water, and water evaporates. After menopause our skin isn’t short of water. It’s short of the natural oils that hold it together. Half of every drop of this is evening primrose and rosehip, the oils your skin can’t make itself. Nothing to evaporate. Nothing artificial.
7. Women like me are switching to this
After trying it, I wasn’t surprised to see how many women over 55 had done the same. Not influencers. Real women with drawers full of half-used creams, who just wanted to wear a short-sleeved top again without thinking about it. Over {12,400} reviews, and most of them sound exactly like me.
8. Try it risk-free
With up to 47% off, free tracked delivery and a 60-day guarantee, there’s no pressure. Use it every night. If your arms don’t feel softer and look smoother, you get every penny back, even on the 2 + 1.
Ordered the 3 after reading this last month. Didn’t expect much, I’ve got a drawer full of creams that did nothing. Week 3 and the skin above my elbows is noticeably smoother. My husband noticed before I’d said a word.
👍❤️47Did you do the damp skin thing? Mine arrives Thursday
👍❤️3Yes, every night straight out the shower. I think that’s the trick
👍❤️8Is it greasy? I can’t be doing with oil all over my sheets
👍❤️12Not at all, that was my worry too. It’s gone in a minute. I put my nightie straight on.
👍❤️2158 and I’ve worn a cardigan every summer for ten years. Wore a sleeveless dress to my niece’s wedding last month and didn’t tug at my arms once. Worth every penny.
👍❤️96Sceptical of anything that says it works on crepey skin, I’ve tried them all. But the 60 day refund made it a no brainer. Will report back.
👍❤️15Update: 5 weeks in. Chest and neck definitely smoother. Not a miracle, but I can actually SEE it, which is more than I can say for anything else I’ve bought. Just ordered another 3.
👍❤️58The smell is gorgeous. Lavender and something rosy. My one minute to myself at night 😊
👍❤️33Bought it mainly for my knees. Elephant knees gone soft 😂 back in skirts
👍❤️41Arrived next day to Leeds, beautifully packed, and the little travel size lives in my handbag now.
👍❤️1969 here. Thought it was far too late for my neck. It isn’t.
👍❤️64Lost 3 stone last year and was left with crinkly loose skin on my tummy. First thing that’s made a visible difference. Wish I’d found it sooner.
👍❤️38Nivea, Palmer’s, Clarins, collagen sachets. All softer, none different. This one I can see.
