5 Reasons Your Skin Deserves a Renewing Cream After 45
Skin changes over time, on your thighs, tummy and bikini line as much as your face. This fragrance-free evening cream pairs encapsulated retinol with bakuchiol and hydrators for skin that looks smoother and firmer.
What helps skin that looks crepey on the thighs, tummy and bikini line? A body cream that combines a retinoid with hydrators. The Retinol Intimate Renewing Cream pairs encapsulated retinol and bakuchiol with sodium hyaluronate and oat beta glucan, for skin that looks smoother and firmer and feels hydrated. It's made for intimate-area skin and used once a day, in the evening.
Your skin changes, and your routine can keep up
Over the years, skin everywhere can start to look thinner, crepier and a little less even. It's a normal part of life, and it shows on your thighs, hips, tummy and bikini line as much as your face. Most body care hasn't caught up. A renewing cream for these areas means the care you give your face doesn't stop at your neckline.
Retinol and bakuchiol for a firmer, smoother look
Retinol is a long-standing skincare favourite for the look of fine lines and firmness. Bakuchiol, a plant extract from babchi seeds, is used for similar appearance benefits, so the formula doesn't rely on retinol alone. Centella, niacinamide and CoQ10 complete the blend, for skin that looks smoother, firmer and more even in tone.
Hydration that matters more every year
Skin can feel drier as time goes on. So the cream also carries sodium hyaluronate, which draws water into the skin's surface, and oat beta glucan, which forms a light film that helps skin hold on to moisture. Skin feels plump, soft and comfortable, not tight, and the texture absorbs quickly with no greasy finish.
Made for intimate-area skin, in Australia
Formulated by our own skincare chemist for the bikini line, inner thighs, bum, hips, tummy and breasts. The retinol is microencapsulated, so it's protected in the bottle and released as you massage the cream in. No added fragrance and no alcohol, just a subtle herbal scent from the botanical extracts.
A habit, not a quick fix
We won't promise overnight results, because good skincare doesn't work that way. Use a thin layer every evening and give it at least 12 weeks. It takes a minute before bed, and consistency is what lets you see the difference. If you're new to retinol, start every second evening and build up.

Questions, answered
Is it worth starting retinol after 45?
Yes. There's no age limit on looking after your skin. Retinol and bakuchiol are used for smoother, firmer-looking skin at any stage, and the hydrators in the cream suit skin that feels drier than it used to.
Where can I use it?
On the bikini line and hair-bearing bikini area, inner thighs, bum, hips, tummy and breasts. For external use only.
I've never used retinol. Where should I start?
Patch test on a small area first. Then start every second evening and build up to nightly as your skin gets used to it. Use a thin layer, avoid broken skin and apply sunscreen to areas exposed to the sun.
How long until I notice a difference?
Everyone's skin is different. We recommend using it consistently every evening for at least 12 weeks.
Can I use it with my other skincare?
Yes, on clean, dry skin in the evening. If you also use an exfoliating product on the same areas, apply them on different evenings while your skin gets used to retinol.
Do I get free shipping?
Orders over $100 ship free within Australia. The cream is $74 on its own.
