I have used this now for 2 months and see a difference in the way my legs look, smooth and skin is brighter. No irritation at all. It has also helped reduce itchy nighttime skin. Love it.
I'm 60 , but my hands and arms looked 80, I've only had this for a week, but seriously saw a difference the first morning after putting it on before bed!! Now I'm using it on my creepy knees and having amazing results with this area too. I have super super sensitive skin and have had zero issues with this product. Best kept skin care product ever.
@Just Peachy no it isn't stinky at all and there was a noticable difference after only one day ,with more improvement over time. I don't love the film that it leaves on the palms of my hands after use so I just wipe it off of the palms of my hands after use.
Dr. Dray! I just want to say I am so proud of you for sticking to your New Years resolution of wearing bright colors; they look amazing on you! The pandemic put me into a funk of not wanting to dress up, and you have inspired me to get back into my previous ways of wanting to dress well. Thank you 💙
I've been doing the same!!! I finally started wearing makeup again last year and wearing cute outfits. Feels great ❤ the pandemic put me in a funk too of not dressing up
So funny… I clicked on this to learn about drugstore retinols for the body, because I wondered if such existed. I see your comment, though, and realize that yes, she has a warm undertone and blooms in these colors! So… swerve…but anyway lol. Going to find this lotion. Thank you, Dr Dray!
Thank you for reviewing this product! Unlike most brands that overhype every ingredient as revolutionary skincare innovation, Gold Bond consistently undersells itself and is easy to overlook; but the value is hard to beat.
Thank you, Dr. Dray! This is so affordable. You are a lifesaver when it comes to taking care of my skin, and my family’s skin issues in a money wise way. So helpful!
There are many fantastic cruelty free and vegan products out there in the same price range. I also find it impossible to have any effective amount of actives like retinol and niacinamide in a product this cheap. They use the most miniscule amount to be able to market it as a "retinol lotion", but the percentage can be 0.01%. Some other companies actually admitted to this when asked. This shouldn't be legal, since retinol has zero benefits at these amounts.
I've found retinol serums and creams to really help my arms now that I'm going through menopause. My skin suddenly became so crepey that my arm skin would bleed profusely if I just bumped into something. I'd be left with big, ugly red wounds, especially since I have a pretty physical job. It took a few months of use, but totally worth it!!!
I love this moisturizer - the ingredients and the feel are great. I love having an affordable body moisturizer with retinol, peptides, shea butter, and niacinamide.
The gold bond face and body is perfect for someone like my fiance who doesn't Wana do anything other than wash their face and put moisturizer on it. day and night! So any moisturizer that already comes with retinol in it is so good for the skin care minimalist. Same goes for moisturizers with spf
I have OCD 😥 and my hands can get raw due to excessive hand washing.. I have tried EVERY lotion on the planet because of this horrific issue. Gold Bond is the only brand that heals my hands immediately without pain, without burning, without greasiness.. it is life changing.
I love your outfit!!! It is so nice to see women wearing colors other then beige & black, ugh, The colors you're wearing are wonderful enhancements to your skin tone and your overall good looks, love the necklace too! Thanks for reviewing Gold Bond, I bought both based on your review. I have experienced good results with many of your other suggestions, thank you. Without reviews from someone knowledgable one can waste alot of money trying out products until you find one that works, reviews help to cut through experimentation. The ADVANCED CLINICALS RETINOL - I bought a jar for $5.00 on a whim and it is one of my favorite creams, so happy you gave it a mention!
I've been using this lotion on my tummy and thighs for stretch marks. I've noticed a significant change the crepiness I had. Also been using on my arms where I have a lot of sum damage. Same results there too.
That sweater !! It is SO pretty.....the color, the design....love the 3 buttons on the cuffs. And it's a lovely color on you. Thank you for all of this info about retinol. I'm just now realizing I should be using it in my skin care.
I’ve been using this product for about three weeks now. Definitely helped reverse a bit of skin damage due to sun. A little bit goes a long way. On the downside, it has a kind of odd smell. And it’s a little bit pasty on the skin.
Been using this for a couple months and I LOVE it! I’ve been hoping you’d do a review on it soon because I really think it’s great. One of the cheapest retinol body lotions at Walmart. Thank you!
Ooh, love that Land’s End cable on you - color is radiant, you are aglow, Dr. Dray. Thank you for coming in with the bonus of high volume, low price active ingredients for us. Cheers.
I just bought this product today and slathered it on.. I can already feel the difference in my rough bump upper arms! I cant wait to see how my arms feel in a few weeks.. I see Urea is 2nd ingredient listed and I am happy to tell you that there is NO smell to this lotion. Thank you for introducing this product that I never knew existed! Love you and your channel with all my heart!!
Discovered Gold Bond foot softening lotion years ago, fantastic product that works. Next was GB age renew hand lotion, excellent results, now using the age renew body lotion. Results are evident, happy customer 😊
LOVE LOVE LOVE Gold Bond. They have a bunch of great products. The retinol cream is next on my list to try once I finish their Pure Moisture which is so good. I reach for that one all the time. 💙
Gold Bind has been so fantastic! I bought their hand cream $3.37 for 5 Oz and it is wonderful. I will absolutely try this! Thank you for the tips as always!
The difference I have found with the pure moisture is how long my skin STAYS hydrated. So, I’ll definitely be trying this out. Will love to be able to use an all in one for both face and body
I'll admit that I'm a skincare snob, but after some health issues I started using Goldbond products and they are amazing! Both the retinol and the Body Bright versions have made a very noticeable difference on my arms, legs and upper chest. Even my friends have noticed a difference.
I bought two of these off Amazon a couple weeks ago. The box has been sitting on a desk, unopened, in the foyer since it arrived. NOW I’m excited to open it….
I was looking for a body retinol. I have keratosis pilaris on my upper arms and nothing has worked on it. I didn’t buy this for that problem, but when I used this on my arms I saw immediate results! No more bumps!
So happy about this product. Goldbond is coming out with good products the pure moisturizer is my ride or die! Affordable can’t complain. Thanks dr. Dray!
I've put Gold Bond Retinol on my parts my face (cheeks & neck where I can't tolerate Tret). I was cautious @ 1st & waited 3 days before reapplying. Now use almost every day - no problems.
Thank you, Andrea. You are helping us all navigate the skin care business by being informed and really understanding the importance of science vs. marketing. Thank you so very much.
I'm reviewing my skincare routine with a focus on budget friendly products and I'm so grateful for your reviews. I love that you focus on science and cover brands like this that may get overlooked. I'm really excited to try this! Thank you so so much!
Gold Bond is underrated. Took me a while to get used to the old rubber band smell of pure moisture, but I got over it because it makes such a difference in my skin. The crepe corrector is also great. Not a miracle worker and the effects are temporary, but my turkey waddle is less noticeable.
@@candace7340 I've been using it twice a day as directed. The area tightened up pretty quickly as promised. From what I've read, consistently using it twice a day is key. But of course, no product works the same on everyone. Perhaps it just doesn't work for your skin.
I’ve been using my Rx tretinoin on “struggling” areas of my body (as well as my face) for probably 6 months at least and the results have been minuscule so I know this couldn’t be as miraculous as they say it is but due to the retinol and other ingredients I am giving it a try. I will continue to spit treat areas with tretinoin (.5)(elbows, above the knees and forearms)(I’m also using AmLactin on those areas due to your recommendation).
Started this about two weeks, esp bc I wanted retinol for body esp arms and legs. Seriously neglected those areas of sunscreen for many years. The product is thick and absorbs quickly, Gold Bond also put out another cream for crepey skin. They got my attention.
I am so excited for this product. I already use and love so many things by gold bond. And to have an affordable retinol, that is like a wish come true!
I’ve been using the tub of Aquation retinol on my body (and occasionally face). It helps with the old-lady crepe-iness above my knees and on my forearms. The only Niacinamide that stings my face is the Ordinary brand, but it doesn’t sting my body.
I have a question: Should I apply this after showering while my skin is damp before toweling off? or is this better after drying off? I also wanted to take a moment to thank you Dr. Dray! my adult daughter and I have been watching since 2020! I recently visited a local derm and as she walked in the room, she said, "wow, your skin looks great!".. I was thinking... because I watch Dr. Dray! you've saved my pocketbook as well as my skin! thanks for being so candid and getting the word out that skincare does NOT have to be expensive!! I enjoy all of your videos! I love when you review skin care brands!! like the one you did on La Mer!! that was so eye opening!! thanks for all you are doing!! you are the BEST!
Great video. I do use Versed Retinol body cream. I am 64 and use mostly La Roche-Posay products but this year added the Versed Retinol body cream for face, chest, arms and knee area. Use La Roche Lipikar Eczema on my legs and feet. Your videos are very informative and helpful
I've used the Gold Bond Neck Cream for years and I really think it helps. I ran out of it and didn't use it for maybe a month -- saw more wrinkling and seemed my skin there got less firm -- so I'm never without it now!
I recently started using the Eucerin Lotions. I started with the Intensive Repair. The lotion is very thick and didn't absorb well if I left my skin damp. I had to fully dry in order to apply it. It also left a bit of a greasy feeling. However, my skin hasn't felt that soft and smooth in a long time. When I finished with the Eucerin Intensive Repair, I switched to the Eucerin Advanced Repair. This lotion is lighter in consistency and application is easier, though I still find I need to fully dry my skin - can't leave it damp. This one absorbs a bit faster, but instead of a greasy feeling to my skin, I have more of a tacky/sticky feeling. While my skin feels soft, I believe it felt softer when using the Intensive Repair. So, I may switch back to that one, when I'm done with the giant bottle I bought. LOL Lastly, prior to using either of these Eucerin products, I did go through a bottle of AmLactin Moisturizing Lotion. I purchased it based on Dr. Dray's suggestion, because I have issues with eczema. I had just begun to show evidence of the beginning of a flare up and started applying the Cetaphil Eczema Restoraderm Itch Relief gel, would let that dry, then apply AmLactin. Within a couple of days the flare up was gone and I haven't had another flare up since that one in November of last year. I do think the AmLactin has an odd scent, but it really made a difference in my skin. I may rotate the products over time. :)
I am using Gold Bond Pure Moisture and it is thinner and lighter consistency which I like. Also not waxy. It absorbs fast so some people may think it is drying but I think it’s fine.I didn’t like La Rosche-Pose Triple Repair and the because it is so thick that it takes forever to put the cream all over the body and hate the sensation of filmy which most body lotions have.
I love Andrea Dray. She is the REAL thing talking to REAL people recommending mainly reasonably priced products that WORK. Plus she brings her expertise as a dermatologist to the fore. Bye bye self-serving "influencers" whose product choices change weekly depending on who the new sponsor. Just can't keep up with the whirlwind on over-priced crazy products on YT.
Yes, for me the niacinamide only stings my face, particularly my cheeks where I don’t have visible rosacea, but it lingers just under the surface waiting to be irritated, and also the tip of my nose and nasolabial folds. Using it on my body is no issue at all.
I’ve used the advanced clinicals retinol since that other video you posted. I’m trying to preserve healthy function of my skin as I age, and it does look better than before I used it. I was using cerave in the tub before. I also lightly apply cerave healing ointment over it to do body slugging.
Good afternoon! I’m so happy you review so many so called drug store brands. Gold Bond is a brand I’ve used off and on for years. It’s good to see your review of these products. Thank you!
I bought this at the local Walgreens on your recommendation. I have been using it on my arms that have a lot of old sun damage. I think it is making a difference. (I use Rx Tretinoin on my face.)
Two days ago in the Middle of the video...paused it then..ran to Walmart and got me 3 of these OMAYGAWD!!!! I love it!!! it is cheaper than what Im using before. Dr. Dray is doing Gods work for us!!!
I do use this, and the neck and chest. So far so good. I am a skincare snob, but can't afford the body high end ones. I have been using it for 3 months almost nightly. I think the sun damage on my shins and fore arms looks better and the crepey knees. The neck looks better too!
I had such high hopes for this retinol but on my face it seemed to harsh or something. My skin became rough and dry and a rough itchy spot on my jawline. Took at least a week to get back to normal. I’ll probably just use the remainder on my body but never my face again. The Advanced Clinicals you recommended works so much very for my face, love it.
Gold Bond is a life saver. It is very easily absorbed by the skin as a moisturizer--stands out for that. Liked "wiser years!" (I hate being "sweetied" by strangers.... I'd rather be addressed as "Hey you.")
Thanks for doing this review. Being a Dr Dray fan-girl, I saw this is at Walmart, read the ingredients, said wow to myself and bought it immediately,. I started to use it on my body and my husband on his face at night. We are both very happy with it. We both find it easier to apply then Advanced Clinical' s Retinol which we had been using. 💗
Hello, I just was trying (again!) to use the Advanced Clinicals Retinol and remembering why I avoid this cream - it is really hard to apply, especially on parts of the body that have a lot of hair (forearms, legs)
After watching several of your vlogs, I'm hooked watching you first on skin care needs before buying any product. Educational content is first rate that others in this space aspire too.
May I just say, the nighttime gold bond cream with lavender scent is truly a pleasant experience. I’m glad you’re repping this brand as I really have learned to love the thick texture of these creams.
Thanks for comparing the advanced clinicals to this - I purchased that a few months ago based on your video but havent used it enough on a regular basis yet.
I love the pure one! Got a big pump container for my husband and he’s actually using it. I’ll definitely keep my eyes open for the retinol one. I’m currently not using a retinol but once I used up my current night cream in plan on opening up a tube of the versed retinal body cream that I bought ages ago to try. I like using a retinol on my body and I used up a big jar of the one you recommended earlier that I found at TJ Max.
Niacinamide only stings for me when I use the 10% concentration on my face. It doesn’t sting when I use a lower concentration like that in the La Roche Posay face cream. Thank you for all your helpful videos!
i’m so excited to try this one! I have extremely dry skin as well as body acne and hyperpigmentation. I started using Versed Retinol body lotion at night and Gold Bonds Diabetic Relief in the morning. My skins been incredibly soft lately and has improved immensely! I’m definitely purchasing this next once i run out of the ones i’m currently using. Thanks Dr. Dray!
The Versed body retinol is great. Unfortunately I’m a skin picker (my arms) but the following day after using applying it there is marked improvement. I will definitely try the Gold Bond.
I was just headed to Walmart. I think I’ll grab some. I know that to get the benefit of skincare you have to use it regularly for 2-3 months. I can do that. Oh and I am almost out of my moisturizer I use at night anyway. In the daytime I never ever go without sunscreen 😊 promise! I’m 60, and get mistaken for 40! Sunscreen and never ever smoke young ladies!
I started using 14:02 Versed’s retinol for the body based on another TH-camr’s video. That one has a fragrance but luckily I’m not itching from it. I’ll finish it up and definitely give the Gold Bond one a try; better price & fragrance free. I’d like to keep a body retinol in my weekly routine. Thanks!!
Thank you for this review! Ive been using the Versed Firm Ground Retinol Body Lotion And It Was Killing My Pocket and I never could get it all out of the package. I used this last night and i could tell a immediate difference with my skin i feel like now i was just blowing my money on a fancy package. Especially with my psoriasis and sensitive skin this was a life saver Thank you!
It would be nice to know the percentage of retinol in each product. Usually retinol is the 7th or later ingredient. I use Advanced Clinical - probably because I saw it on one of your videos.
Should people be concerned about using multiple vitamin A products on different body areas? E.g. tretinoin on face and neck, adapalene on chest and back, and a retinol like this Gold Bond product on arms/legs/belly.
Yay! For a new body retinol! I currently use one by Versed and I love it. I was a huge tanner in my teens and twenty's (I used baby oil as a sunscreen :() and sadly my body skin is showing the signs now that I'm almost 40. Since using a body retinol my chest and back sun spots are WAY less noticeable and my skin texture around my knees and shoulders is alot smoother. Thanks for this review I'll have to try this out. I also rotate alpha skincares 20% glycolic acid body lotion into my routine. I alternate between the body retinol and the glycolic lotion every other day and have seen such good results!
Dr. Dray, you look so fabulous and vibrant in those complimentary colors! Thank you for the usage of "wise years" I love that For we ,with the wrinkles, are mostly more wise. : )
Thank you so much for reviewing this! I've been waiting for the day of a retinol body cream, I'm so excited to see if this becomes one of my holy grails!
I think some people are intolerant to niacinamide. I have high pain tolerance but topically it flushes, burns, and stings me. Internally (as a supplement), I get flushed (lobster red) all over my body and it stings/burns as if bees are having fun with me all over. I had to take allergy pills at the pharmacist's request. My mom almost took me to the hospital because of how intense the reaction was. The pharmacist said it's not an uncommon reaction with that supplement.
I’ve been waiting for you to review this. Saw the large bottle with pump at WalMart several months ago. Looked good, based on what I’ve learned from you. Commenting from Colorado. Fellow Buff! 😊
I have been using this for a while but had to stop because of my eczema flare ups that were happening on my face and wanted to use a heavier cream like Vanicream. I got it all under control and decided to start using the Gold Bond again and the next morning it made my neck and skin around my eye flare up and became itchy. I really loved this product but I guess my skin doesn’t like it anymore which is upsetting. It’s a great product just recommend patch testing for my sensitive skin folks just in case.
This is hands down the craziest productive I've found yet. I originally bought it to take care of crepe skin and hyperpigmentation on my forearms from sun damage. I saw results literally overnight... Then I read the ingredients, saw how much urea it had, and slapped some on the keratosis pilaris on the back of my thighs... 60-70% improvement after a WEEK ... Then I put some on the rough skin on my heels, and THAT healed within about two weeks. This is by far the easiest one -and-done product I've ever stumbled across, and I have to say it is DIRT CHEAP relative to how it performs. I bought a tube 4 weeks ago, and I can't wait to buy the big bottle when I am done with this tube!
I have been using the Clinical Retinol for face and body ever since you first reviewed it. I'm happy with it & I do think it has improved texture on sun damaged skin. My age spots on my hands are less noticeable. I use it most nights on my face, neck & chest & will keep using it. I don't use it on nights that I'm using my 2% BHA. I wonder if that matters. It does take longer to absorb though and I'll wake up to residue on my pillow case. During the day I've been using the Gold Bond Pure lotion & I like that as well. I use it off and on during the day. It absorbs well & my skin feels nourished. I can also use it under make up w/o pilling. Great product recommendations with good prices! 🌸
Thanks for your recommendation, I went and bought this and love it so far. I went get a second bottle! So I don’t run out. And the overnight one with the melatonin and lavender that penetrates 10 layers deep is also amazing. So relaxing, help put me to sleep so quickly after a bath.
I used Paula’s Choice body retinol for a year and a half, and it definitely was better than plain moisturizer. I’m looking for one I can pick up myself.
I've been learning about colour analysis and have been trying to figure out what season you are, Dr Dray. I thought you might be an Autumn but then when I see you in cool colours I think they may suit you better. I find it fascinating. I was always an Autumn but I had an analysis done and it turns out I am both soft summer and soft Autumn and I look best in muted colours rather than vivid ones. It's really made a difference. And I can't wait till this cream comes to Canada. Stay well 💐
I have used this now for 2 months and see a difference in the way my legs look, smooth and skin is brighter. No irritation at all. It has also helped reduce itchy nighttime skin. Love it.
Awesome I am going to get some
Omg I've been having itchy skin at night too! Ty for mentioning this 🙏
Do you use it everyday?
Please dear if u always feel itchy all over ur body during night time what body type is that? Because I always experience sucj

Gold Bond is underrated. Took me a while to get used to the old rubber band smell of pure moisture, but I got over it because it makes such a difference in my skin. The crepe corrector is also great. Not a miracle worker and the effects are temporary, but my turkey waddle is less noticeable.
Hi. So does the crepe version only tighten when you use it or over time? I purchased it but notice it’s dry.
@@candace7340 I've been using it twice a day as directed. The area tightened up pretty quickly as promised. From what I've read, consistently using it twice a day is key. But of course, no product works the same on everyone. Perhaps it just doesn't work for your skin.
Turkey waddle 😂😂😂 that is too funny I laughed out loud. Glad you’re finding what works for you. Thanks for the giggles 🤭
I bought it for my crepy chest. Will this help?
@@shiraflax5876 probably will, but only while you're using the product twice a day. Still, the effect is nice. Works great on my crepey chest.
I’ve been using my Rx tretinoin on “struggling” areas of my body (as well as my face) for probably 6 months at least and the results have been minuscule so I know this couldn’t be as miraculous as they say it is but due to the retinol and other ingredients I am giving it a try. I will continue to spit treat areas with tretinoin (.5)(elbows, above the knees and forearms)(I’m also using AmLactin on those areas due to your recommendation).
Gold bond always impress me their product is always surprisingly good
Started this about two weeks, esp bc I wanted retinol for body esp arms and legs. Seriously neglected those areas of sunscreen for many years. The product is thick and absorbs quickly, Gold Bond also put out another cream for crepey skin. They got my attention.
I am so excited for this product. I already use and love so many things by gold bond. And to have an affordable retinol, that is like a wish come true!
I’ve been using the tub of Aquation retinol on my body (and occasionally face). It helps with the old-lady crepe-iness above my knees and on my forearms. The only Niacinamide that stings my face is the Ordinary brand, but it doesn’t sting my body.
I have a question: Should I apply this after showering while my skin is damp before toweling off? or is this better after drying off? I also wanted to take a moment to thank you Dr. Dray! my adult daughter and I have been watching since 2020! I recently visited a local derm and as she walked in the room, she said, "wow, your skin looks great!".. I was thinking... because I watch Dr. Dray! you've saved my pocketbook as well as my skin! thanks for being so candid and getting the word out that skincare does NOT have to be expensive!! I enjoy all of your videos! I love when you review skin care brands!! like the one you did on La Mer!! that was so eye opening!! thanks for all you are doing!! you are the BEST!
Before watching her been using this one for over a month after night showers
She must said at night so it might not matter about shower.
@@mjg1708zss is
Absolutely, Gold Bond is the best! I’ve been using on my arms and my skin is so soft after a couple of weeks!!
How much do you apply to the face?
Love how you say, "as we get in to our Wiser years". :)
Great video. I do use Versed Retinol body cream. I am 64 and use mostly La Roche-Posay products but this year added the Versed Retinol body cream for face, chest, arms and knee area. Use La Roche Lipikar Eczema on my legs and feet. Your videos are very informative and helpful
I've used the Gold Bond Neck Cream for years and I really think it helps. I ran out of it and didn't use it for maybe a month -- saw more wrinkling and seemed my skin there got less firm -- so I'm never without it now!
I recently started using the Eucerin Lotions. I started with the Intensive Repair. The lotion is very thick and didn't absorb well if I left my skin damp. I had to fully dry in order to apply it. It also left a bit of a greasy feeling. However, my skin hasn't felt that soft and smooth in a long time. When I finished with the Eucerin Intensive Repair, I switched to the Eucerin Advanced Repair. This lotion is lighter in consistency and application is easier, though I still find I need to fully dry my skin - can't leave it damp. This one absorbs a bit faster, but instead of a greasy feeling to my skin, I have more of a tacky/sticky feeling. While my skin feels soft, I believe it felt softer when using the Intensive Repair. So, I may switch back to that one, when I'm done with the giant bottle I bought. LOL Lastly, prior to using either of these Eucerin products, I did go through a bottle of AmLactin Moisturizing Lotion. I purchased it based on Dr. Dray's suggestion, because I have issues with eczema. I had just begun to show evidence of the beginning of a flare up and started applying the Cetaphil Eczema Restoraderm Itch Relief gel, would let that dry, then apply AmLactin. Within a couple of days the flare up was gone and I haven't had another flare up since that one in November of last year. I do think the AmLactin has an odd scent, but it really made a difference in my skin. I may rotate the products over time. :)
I am using Gold Bond Pure Moisture and it is thinner and lighter consistency which I like. Also not waxy. It absorbs fast so some people may think it is drying but I think it’s fine.I didn’t like La Rosche-Pose Triple Repair and the because it is so thick that it takes forever to put the cream all over the body and hate the sensation of filmy which most body lotions have.
Agree! That pure moisture feels very light but I’m always surprised how soft my skin is the next day. It really works.
To answer your question, niacinamide only burns my face not my body. Maybe because I use tretinoin, which, by the way, never irritates my skin.
I love Andrea Dray. She is the REAL thing talking to REAL people recommending mainly reasonably priced products that WORK. Plus she brings her expertise as a dermatologist to the fore. Bye bye self-serving "influencers" whose product choices change weekly depending on who the new sponsor. Just can't keep up with the whirlwind on over-priced crazy products on YT.
Yes, for me the niacinamide only stings my face, particularly my cheeks where I don’t have visible rosacea, but it lingers just under the surface waiting to be irritated, and also the tip of my nose and nasolabial folds. Using it on my body is no issue at all.
I have found with me it can depend on the formulation if the niacinamide in the product bothers me. And it depends on the state of my skin barrier.
I’ve used the advanced clinicals retinol since that other video you posted. I’m trying to preserve healthy function of my skin as I age, and it does look better than before I used it. I was using cerave in the tub before. I also lightly apply cerave healing ointment over it to do body slugging.
I use that lotion too! I think I’m gonna try this one and see how it goes.
I love that Dr. Dray says “wiser years” ❤❤
Good afternoon! I’m so happy you review so many so called drug store brands. Gold Bond is a brand I’ve used off and on for years. It’s good to see your review of these products. Thank you!
I bought this at the local Walgreens on your recommendation. I have been using it on my arms that have a lot of old sun damage. I think it is making a difference. (I use Rx Tretinoin on my face.)
Two days ago in the Middle of the video...paused it then..ran to Walmart and got me 3 of these OMAYGAWD!!!! I love it!!! it is cheaper than what Im using before. Dr. Dray is doing Gods work for us!!!
I do use this, and the neck and chest. So far so good. I am a skincare snob, but can't afford the body high end ones. I have been using it for 3 months almost nightly. I think the sun damage on my shins and fore arms looks better and the crepey knees. The neck looks better too!
I had such high hopes for this retinol but on my face it seemed to harsh or something. My skin became rough and dry and a rough itchy spot on my jawline. Took at least a week to get back to normal. I’ll probably just use the remainder on my body but never my face again. The Advanced Clinicals you recommended works so much very for my face, love it.
Gold Bond is a life saver. It is very easily absorbed by the skin as a moisturizer--stands out for that. Liked "wiser years!" (I hate being "sweetied" by strangers.... I'd rather be addressed as "Hey you.")
Thanks for doing this review. Being a Dr Dray fan-girl, I saw this is at Walmart, read the ingredients, said wow to myself and bought it immediately,. I started to use it on my body and my husband on his face at night. We are both very happy with it. We both find it easier to apply then Advanced Clinical' s Retinol which we had been using. 💗
Hello, I just was trying (again!) to use the Advanced Clinicals Retinol and remembering why I avoid this cream - it is really hard to apply, especially on parts of the body that have a lot of hair (forearms, legs)
After watching several of your vlogs, I'm hooked watching you first on skin care needs before buying any product. Educational content is first rate that others in this space aspire too.
May I just say, the nighttime gold bond cream with lavender scent is truly a pleasant experience. I’m glad you’re repping this brand as I really have learned to love the thick texture of these creams.
Thanks for comparing the advanced clinicals to this - I purchased that a few months ago based on your video but havent used it enough on a regular basis yet.
As a senior my skin is crepey. I've been using Gold Bond lotion for aging skin and I've noticed an improvement in the crepiness.
Me, too. Been using Gold Bond lotion for senior skin for a few months. I’ve I seen a mild improvement.
I use the gold bond pure moisture for face and body. It's amazing. I will be adding this one to the regime as well.
I love the pure one! Got a big pump container for my husband and he’s actually using it. I’ll definitely keep my eyes open for the retinol one. I’m currently not using a retinol but once I used up my current night cream in plan on opening up a tube of the versed retinal body cream that I bought ages ago to try.
I like using a retinol on my body and I used up a big jar of the one you recommended earlier that I found at TJ Max.
Niacinamide only stings for me when I use the 10% concentration on my face. It doesn’t sting when I use a lower concentration like that in the La Roche Posay face cream. Thank you for all your helpful videos!
i’m so excited to try this one! I have extremely dry skin as well as body acne and hyperpigmentation. I started using Versed Retinol body lotion at night and Gold Bonds Diabetic Relief in the morning. My skins been incredibly soft lately and has improved immensely! I’m definitely purchasing this next once i run out of the ones i’m currently using. Thanks Dr. Dray!
let me know what you think
The Versed body retinol is great. Unfortunately I’m a skin picker (my arms) but the following day after using applying it there is marked improvement. I will definitely try the Gold Bond.
@@keldaw143 Consider applying a salicylic acid gel for pimples on each spot you want to pick.
I was just headed to Walmart. I think I’ll grab some. I know that to get the benefit of skincare you have to use it regularly for 2-3 months. I can do that. Oh and I am almost out of my moisturizer I use at night anyway. In the daytime I never ever go without sunscreen 😊 promise! I’m 60, and get mistaken for 40! Sunscreen and never ever smoke young ladies!
I started using 14:02 Versed’s retinol for the body based on another TH-camr’s video. That one has a fragrance but luckily I’m not itching from it. I’ll finish it up and definitely give the Gold Bond one a try; better price & fragrance free. I’d like to keep a body retinol in my weekly routine. Thanks!!
Me too
Any updates on which you found better - my concern is that Gold Bond does not advertise their retinol % in comparison to VERSED
Thank you for this review! Ive been using the Versed Firm Ground Retinol Body Lotion And It Was Killing My Pocket and I never could get it all out of the package. I used this last night and i could tell a immediate difference with my skin i feel like now i was just blowing my money on a fancy package. Especially with my psoriasis and sensitive skin this was a life saver Thank you!
It would be nice to know the percentage of retinol in each product. Usually retinol is the 7th or later ingredient. I use Advanced Clinical - probably because I saw it on one of your videos.
Should people be concerned about using multiple vitamin A products on different body areas? E.g. tretinoin on face and neck, adapalene on chest and back, and a retinol like this Gold Bond product on arms/legs/belly.
I’ll have to give this a try. I’ve not used retinol on my body before.
For me, I seem to have a reaction to Niacinamide for products I use on my face, but the rest of the body seems fine.
Like always. Dr. Dray never disappoints.
Yay! For a new body retinol! I currently use one by Versed and I love it. I was a huge tanner in my teens and twenty's (I used baby oil as a sunscreen :() and sadly my body skin is showing the signs now that I'm almost 40. Since using a body retinol my chest and back sun spots are WAY less noticeable and my skin texture around my knees and shoulders is alot smoother. Thanks for this review I'll have to try this out. I also rotate alpha skincares 20% glycolic acid body lotion into my routine. I alternate between the body retinol and the glycolic lotion every other day and have seen such good results!
Dr. Dray, you look so fabulous and vibrant in those complimentary colors! Thank you for the usage of "wise years" I love that For we ,with the wrinkles, are mostly more wise. : )
I've been using retinol since a few months on my forearms to treat sunspots and I see that my skin is getting better.
Excited to hear about this new product by Gold Bond as they are a favorite lotion brand at the drugstore.
Thanks for watching
What is the best skin tightener?
Thank you so much for reviewing this! I've been waiting for the day of a retinol body cream, I'm so excited to see if this becomes one of my holy grails!
I think some people are intolerant to niacinamide. I have high pain tolerance but topically it flushes, burns, and stings me. Internally (as a supplement), I get flushed (lobster red) all over my body and it stings/burns as if bees are having fun with me all over. I had to take allergy pills at the pharmacist's request. My mom almost took me to the hospital because of how intense the reaction was. The pharmacist said it's not an uncommon reaction with that supplement.
I’ve been waiting for you to review this. Saw the large bottle with pump at WalMart several months ago. Looked good, based on what I’ve learned from you.
Commenting from Colorado. Fellow Buff! 😊
Good stuff 👍🏼
Your orange sweater is stunning!
I have been using this for a while but had to stop because of my eczema flare ups that were happening on my face and wanted to use a heavier cream like Vanicream. I got it all under control and decided to start using the Gold Bond again and the next morning it made my neck and skin around my eye flare up and became itchy. I really loved this product but I guess my skin doesn’t like it anymore which is upsetting. It’s a great product just recommend patch testing for my sensitive skin folks just in case.
Once again Dr Dray is giving us important info on a product. Next time I need a moisture cream I'll know what to buy.
I love how thorough you are! Love your channel :)
It's such a good product. I have only been using it a few days and my face is glowing.
This is hands down the craziest productive I've found yet.
I originally bought it to take care of crepe skin and hyperpigmentation on my forearms from sun damage. I saw results literally overnight... Then I read the ingredients, saw how much urea it had, and slapped some on the keratosis pilaris on the back of my thighs... 60-70% improvement after a WEEK ... Then I put some on the rough skin on my heels, and THAT healed within about two weeks. This is by far the easiest one -and-done product I've ever stumbled across, and I have to say it is DIRT CHEAP relative to how it performs. I bought a tube 4 weeks ago, and I can't wait to buy the big bottle when I am done with this tube!
I have been using the Clinical Retinol for face and body ever since you first reviewed it. I'm happy with it & I do think it has improved texture on sun damaged skin. My age spots on my hands are less noticeable. I use it most nights on my face, neck & chest & will keep using it. I don't use it on nights that I'm using my 2% BHA. I wonder if that matters. It does take longer to absorb though and I'll wake up to residue on my pillow case. During the day I've been using the Gold Bond Pure lotion & I like that as well. I use it off and on during the day. It absorbs well & my skin feels nourished. I can also use it under make up w/o pilling. Great product recommendations with good prices! 🌸
This is perfect timing! Right now I’m using the Versed retinol lotion, but I’m going to try this one once I finish my tube.
I love using the Advanced Clinicals lotion on dry feet. It really helped.
This product is so interesting! I use their eczema cream and absolutely love it and is the only thing that helps. I may try this for night time
Thanks for your recommendation, I went and bought this and love it so far. I went get a second bottle! So I don’t run out. And the overnight one with the melatonin and lavender that penetrates 10 layers deep is also amazing. So relaxing, help put me to sleep so quickly after a bath.
I used Paula’s Choice body retinol for a year and a half, and it definitely was better than plain moisturizer. I’m looking for one I can pick up myself.
I've been learning about colour analysis and have been trying to figure out what season you are, Dr Dray. I thought you might be an Autumn but then when I see you in cool colours I think they may suit you better. I find it fascinating. I was always an Autumn but I had an analysis done and it turns out I am both soft summer and soft Autumn and I look best in muted colours rather than vivid ones. It's really made a difference.
And I can't wait till this cream comes to Canada. Stay well 💐
Gold Bond Rough & Bumpy and their original Overnight cream are my ride or die. I’m so pumped to try out this new one!! 😆
