Several takes favor this thick, budget-friendly overnight lotion for the body, where its retinol is said to smooth texture and tone. Texture divides a little: a few takes call it thick and rich for overnight, while one finds it light and fast to sink in. Keep in mind the retinol amount isn't listed, so a patch test on the neck first may be wise, and sunscreen by day matters.

"It is a really good body lotion and I like it a lot. The price point is really great. It's a really thick cream, really hydrating, really emollient. Comparing the ingredient lists, the retinol is probably in them in about the same amount based on where it is on the ingredient list, much less than one percent because that's just how it is with retinols. But I gotta say I like the ingredient list on the Gold Bond a little bit better because the Gold Bond has niacinamide, shea butter, and squalane."

"I would recommend the Gold Bond if you live in a colder climate when your body skin gets really really dry. This is an awesome body lotion because not only does it contain retinol but it also contains so many of my other anti-aging ingredients. This has got urea, shea butter, niacinamide, jojoba oil, squalane, it's got a peptide in there. I mean they really threw everything into this formula."

"It's 13 bucks. My one beef is I have yet to see anything with the exact percentage of retinol in it so I'm not exactly sure. I have a feeling it's probably a tiny amount because it's so non-irritating. I could use this seven days a week everywhere and not get super dry, but it does seem to work well for a lot of people. The reviews are pretty good and I'm on my second bottle of it now."

"The Gold Bond is going to be the most [...] affordable. I think this Gold Bond one is about 10 bucks and the bottle's huge and it's got retinoids in here. So using this on your skin after showering will certainly help. But if you're going to use it you have to use sunscreen, especially if you're going out. [...] You don't want all these results to be good and then more damage to occur, especially when you're using things like retinoids. It makes your skin more sensitive to the sun."

"Gold Bond Age Renew Retinol Overnight Body and Face Lotion - I typically use this one more on my body but I do use this on my face occasionally. It's really nice, it has no fragrance and it's super hydrating. Gold Bond is cruelty free and you can't beat the price. It's got some peptides in there, vitamin E, phytosterols, jojoba oil, sodium PCA. It's a state of the art formula for what it is, really, and for the price, cannot beat it."
"You can use this on your face or your body or both. Gold Bond products [...] typically I wouldn't use on my face, but the retinol Gold Bond products I will certainly use body and face because it's not full of a ton of pore-clogging ingredients. [...] It's 12 bucks and we've got retinol, shea butter, squalane, vitamin E, [...] macadamia oil, jojoba esters, lots of good stuff. I'm guessing the retinol is probably around 0.5% or maybe even a little bit less because it's meant to be used all over."
"I am coming back to one of my tried and true super affordable Gold Bond Age Renew Retinol Overnight. [...] It is a workhorse. Use it and use it up. Super affordable. I cannot say that I have found a more expensive one that I felt like has been worth it. So we are circling back to one of our holy grail tried and true, just like the cleanser situation. This one body retinol, if you are looking for one in your routine, just grab this one. It's so good."

The products I recommend in REAL LIFE
"I love it, love it. It's gentle, doesn't irritate my skin. It's slightly orange, which like retinol is orange, so you can actually see that there's retinol in here. I've been using this on my body three times a week and I've just really been liking it. It's also moisturizing but it absorbs so it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. I really really like it. So if you've been thinking about using retinol on your body, this is what I've been recommending to everyone who has asked me about that."
"It also has niacinamide and shea butter, so if [...] your skin is drier, especially heading into winter, it's going to help protect your skin from losing water, and the niacinamide helps control oil in the skin. It's just an all around amazing affordable product that does all the retinol functionality as well as controlling oil and protecting your skin from losing water, so I think it's even a more amazing product."
"For the body, I really like the Gold Bond Age Renew Retinol Overnight Body and Face Lotion. I've used a whole tube of it, only on my body. [...] It contains retinol plus a peptide, niacinamide, and moisturizing ingredients, and I especially like the concept because you get a much larger amount of product for areas like the neck, chest, arms, and hands, where you don't need an expensive facial serum. [...] Retinol can still irritate body skin, so start slow."

In addition, it's hydrating and contains ingredients like retinol which will help increase cell turnover to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and dullness.

The formula is gentle enough to apply over large surface areas without causing irritation, which can actually be a real problem with body retinoids if the formula isn't designed for it."

It has retinol in it that will promote smoother, firmer skin while helping minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. And it's also really good at hydrating.

3 Stretch Mark Creams THAT ACTUALLY WORK
"I frequently recommend the Gold Bond Age Renew retinol body lotion. I think it's a great option if you're interested in preventing stretch marks or improving the trajectory of stretch marks once they start forming early on. But if you are contemplating pregnancy or you are pregnant and you're starting to develop stretch marks, you cannot use [...] retinol or retinaldehyde. Those are not recommended during pregnancy."
JUNE 2023 SKINCARE FAVORITES & FAILS @DrDrayzday
"This really delivers, I see a little bit more bang for my buck in terms of improving the look of skin radiance on the body using this. It's a thicker consistency which I really like, and it has peptides in it which can help with moisture retention. It has ceramides which are good for the moisture barrier, so this really meets my needs. It's what I like and it will continue to be my new Holy Grail body retinol because it's just been a gem. [...] I will continue to use this."

It has urea in it which is going to soften and smooth the skin surface, improve moisture content, and ultimately allow for clearance of thickening of the skin."

SKINCARE FAVES & FAILS *MARCH 2023* @DrDrayzday
"I only use this from the collarbone down, not on my face, because I use tretinoin on my face. It's a pleasure to apply, it spreads on the skin very easily. This is [...] inexpensive and effective, [...] it really works well to rejuvenate the appearance of the skin on the body and keep the hydration sustained. This is one of the most impressive body retinols I have ever tried, and I've tried a lot of very good ones. [...] This is superior, and I'm not being hyperbolic, this is superior."

*Vlog* Skincare is getting interesting 😍 @DrDrayzday
"I'm almost finished with this tube of the Gold Bond Age Renewal Retinol Overnight, and I'm actually glad I accidentally bought two containers of it. This has gotten better with time. Going the retinol route is a brave, bold move for a drugstore brand because [...] there are a lot of retinols out there you're competing with, and while I can't speak to the efficacy of this retinol versus any other brand's retinol, some retinols out there are kind of expensive, [...] and this is a good one to try."
WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH DRUGSTORE SKINCARE?@DrDrayzday
"This is not to be slept on, [...] this is so good. It's gotten better over time as I've used it. When I reviewed it for you guys I was about at this point in the tube, [...] and now I'm down to the bottom, and I'm seeing sustained hydration in my skin and smoothness. This is getting spring and summer glow up ready. [...] It's a retinol for face and body, though I just use it on my body."

Fortunately I like it enough that I'm obviously going to finish it."
*NEW* Gold Bond RETINOL FOR FACE & BODY 😍 Dermatologist @DrDrayzday
"This is a very good product and a very good value for the ingredients you're getting, though I have to be honest, I can't tell you if the retinol in this is any better, worse, or the same as any other retinol, [...] because [...] retinol is a cosmetic ingredient and there are never head to head studies comparing brands."
Do You Really Need a 7-Step Skincare Routine? Dermatologist Q&A
"I love Gold Bond Age Renew Retinol. It can improve collagen production. I find it's a thicker cream, so it feels maybe a little nicer on dry skin, though I personally get a little bit more of a cosmetic benefit from the Amlactin 12% lotion visually speaking, but I really do love this product."
What the evidence says.
Independent of what the gurus think, this is what
the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
Retinoids
Retinoids are among the best studied ingredients in dermatology, with solid evidence for acne and for the fine lines and rough texture that come from sun exposure. Dryness and flaking in the first few weeks are common and usually settle.
Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.
