The Science

How it works.

EPIDERMIS 2× thicker on body DERMIS HYPODERMIS Encapsulated retinol · shea · peptides · niacinamide

Body skin is thicker. The retinol needs to match.

Body skin is roughly 2× thicker than facial skin, which is why most face retinols don't deliver visible results on the arms, chest, and legs. Encapsulated retinol time-releases into deeper layers, ceramides rebuild the barrier disrupted by retinol use and age, and shea butter buffers delivery so it stays gentle enough for nightly whole-body use.

Proven Benefits

Retinol. Formulated for the Body.

Body skin ages too — but most body lotions ignore the actives that actually work. Dr. Ching engineered this body-specific retinol lotion to address crepey skin, rough texture, and loss of firmness on the arms, chest, and legs. Buffered with ceramides and shea butter so you can use it nightly without irritation.

  • Firms crepey skin on arms, chest, and décolleté
  • Smooths rough texture and KP-prone areas
  • Delivers 24-hour ceramide-backed hydration
  • Gentle enough for nightly whole-body use

Questions

Frequently asked.

Can I use this on my face?
No. This is a body-specific formulation. Use Dr. Ching’s facial retinol serum for the face.
How does this differ from regular body lotion?
Most body lotions hydrate but contain no clinical actives. This is a true retinol treatment designed for the thicker, more resilient skin of the body.
Is it safe on the chest and décolleté?
Yes. The neck and chest benefit most from body retinol because they show aging faster than the face. Apply a thin, even layer.
How soon will I see results?
Most users notice smoother texture within 2-3 weeks. Crepiness and firmness improve between weeks 4-8.
Can I use it every night?
Yes, once your skin is acclimated. Start 3 nights per week for the first 2 weeks, then build to nightly.
Do I need SPF on my body?
Yes — any retinol-treated skin is more sun-sensitive. Apply SPF 30+ to any exposed treated areas the following day.
