I Use This Body Serum and Retinol Cream to Tighten and Smooth My Textured Skin

Growing up, I was super insecure about the little bumps that riddled my legs and back of my arms; so much of my childhood and preteen years were spent wearing long zip-up jackets and jeans. I remember looking at my friends’ legs and models in magazines and wondering when I, too, would have perfect, spot-free skin. So, I eventually decided to speak with my doctor about how to get rid of them. 

I learned that the skin condition I referred to as "strawberry legs" is medically known as keratosis pilaris or KP.  While there’s no one-all fix for the condition, there were products on the market that could minimize texture, soften, moisturize, and tighten the skin. And the two game-changing products that have done just that are Kopari’s new Ultra Restore Firming Body Serum and Ultra Renewal Retinol Body Cream duo.

Kopari Ultra Restore Firming Body Serum

The firming body serum is the first step among the two anti-aging body products and is meant to provide daily hydration and improve the elasticity of loose or loosening skin. It’s formulated with peptides that smooth and enhance elasticity to give your complexion a more youthful appearance, plus niacinamide that acts as an anti-inflammatory to diminish the appearance of redness and hyperpigmentation. 

Coconut water, polyglutamic acid, and hyaluronic acid retain the skin’s moisture while also nourishing, giving it a healthy glow. It has a clean and refreshing scent that isn’t overbearing and a lightweight, gel-like consistency that absorbs quickly. There’s a pump applicator that dispenses the perfect amount of product to massage into the chest, neck, arms, legs, and other rough or dry textured areas that are in need of some TLC.

After applying the Ultra Restore Firming Body Serum, add an extra boost of hydration with the Ultra Renewal Retinol Body Cream, which, as the name implies, is formulated with retinol to combat signs of aging by reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It also has aminobutyric acid, which stimulates the skin's natural hyaluronic acid and collagen production, plus pomegranate extract and acai to improve the complexion and soften with consistent use over time. It has a push-down button-like applicator that dispenses the thick cream with ease through the top, and virtually no scent, so it’s great for those who are sensitive to fragrance. 

I apply the body serum and cream duo after my morning and evening showers, and have noticed that after two months of daily use, the bumps on my legs are noticeably flatter, my skin feels soft and plump, and stays moisturized for over 24 hours. After only a month of consistent use, the fine lines around my neck were gone, and the dark spots on my chest had lightened up significantly. The retinol doesn’t have a strong chemical scent like other body retinols I’ve tried, and is gentle enough for daily use because it won’t burn or irritate the skin. When layering both products, they quickly absorb into the skin and don’t leave my skin feeling greasy.
