5 Reasons Retinol Belongs in Your Body Routine, Not Just Your Face
Your face gets serums and retinol. The skin on your thighs, hips and bikini line changes over time too. This fragrance-free evening cream brings encapsulated retinol and bakuchiol below the neck.
What is the Retinol Intimate Renewing Cream? A fragrance-free evening body cream with encapsulated retinol, bakuchiol, sodium hyaluronate and oat beta glucan, made for the bikini line, inner thighs, bum, hips, tummy and breasts. It suits adults who want smoother, firmer-looking skin in these areas, and it's a simple way to bring retinol into your body routine.
Skin changes everywhere, not just your face
Most of us start retinol on our face and stop at the jawline. But the skin on your thighs, hips, tummy and bikini line changes over time too, and can start to look thinner, crepey or less even. This cream brings the same kind of care below the neck, for skin that looks smoother and firmer, and it softens the look of stretch marks with regular use.
Retinol that's released as you massage it in
Retinol is fragile. Air and light break it down, which is why some formulas lose strength sitting in the bottle. Ours is microencapsulated, so the retinol is protected on your bathroom shelf and released as you rub the cream into your skin.
Retinol and bakuchiol, working together
Bakuchiol is a plant extract from babchi seeds, often called a phyto-retinol because it's used for similar appearance benefits. Pairing it with retinol means the formula doesn't rely on retinol alone. Centella, niacinamide, white tea and CoQ10 sit alongside them, so skin looks smoother, firmer and more even in tone.
Hydration in the same step
Retinol on its own can leave skin feeling dry. 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 hydrated, plump and soft rather than tight.
Made for intimate-area skin, in one evening step
Use it on your bikini line, inner thighs, bum, hips, tummy and breasts. It's non-greasy and absorbs quickly, so you can get into bed straight after. No added fragrance and no alcohol, just a subtle herbal scent from the botanical extracts. Formulated by our own skincare chemist and made in Australia.

Questions, answered
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'm new to 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 while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. As with other retinol products, we don't recommend using it while pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding.
Does it have a scent?
There's no added fragrance. Because of the botanical extracts, it has a subtle, natural herbal scent.
