Mature shoppers have been praising Murad's Retinal ReSculpt Body Treatment, with one user saying it 'restores elasticity to my thin, mature skin' and another describing it as 'magic in a jar.' The product, which the brand says sells one every nine minutes, has been hailed as a 'holy grail' find by skincare fans.
The treatment contains retinal and is designed to firm, smooth and sculpt the skin from head to toe. According to the brand, it targets cellulite, stretch marks, sagging skin and wrinkles, and helps to 'restore youthful elasticity to the skin.'
Product Details and Pricing
Priced at £79, the product is on the higher end, but shoppers can save by subscribing to regular deliveries. Murad recommends a three-month subscription to bring the price down to £71.10 per billing cycle, though monthly, quarterly and two-monthly options are also available.
The formula uses Encapsulated Retinal, which Murad says is one of the most effective forms of Vitamin A that 'stimulates collagen production and cell turnover.' The brand claims it is the only retinal body product on the market and has dubbed it 'like a fitness routine for your skin.'
Shopper Reviews and Results
Users have left rave reviews on the brand's website, where the product has an overall rating of 4.7 out of five stars from almost 100 reviews. One shopper aged 55-64 said: "I absolutely love the Retinal ReSculpt Body Treatment! It effectively targets my stretch marks and cellulite causing my skin to appear smoother."
Another reviewer added: "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."
Some users noted the cost, with one saying they get through a tub in a fortnight, making it expensive, but still recommending it. Another praised its effectiveness, saying: "Works well - smooths and gives skin its bounce back. Wish it wasn’t so $$$$."
Broader Impact and Alternatives
The brand claims users may see a lift and tightening of body skin in four weeks and a reduction in the appearance of stretch marks in as little as eight weeks. One reviewer over 65 said the product was the first thing that made a difference to thin fragile skin on the backs of their hands, calling it 'nothing short of miraculous.'
Another user said: "Almost immediately I saw a difference in my skin's texture. The crepey dryness softened. Over the next weeks, my skin actually felt firmer as if hydrated from within. It’s wonderful to feel confident wearing sleeveless tops and v-necklines."
For those seeking alternatives, the Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Body Cream retails at £70 for 200ml and is currently on offer at Boots for £56, while Caudalie's Vinosculpt Lift and Firm Body Cream 250ml is reduced from £29 to £23.20 at LookFantastic.
