What is an undertone?

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:

Pink/Cool

I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.

Neutral

I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.

Yellow/Warm

I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Reviews

Best Body Retinol lotion on the market!

"I love this Necessaire Body Retinol creme! It has no odor, it spreads and absorbs beautifully. It does not irritate the skin at all. It has made a huge clarifying & softening difference for the skin on my legs, chest, upper back, and arms. It lightens age spots beautifully. In my opinion there are only 'pros', and no 'cons' with the use of this product. Best body retinol lotion I have ever used, and I have tried 4 other 'quality' body retinol lotions."

— Barbara (5/5)

Works

"This luxurious body retinol evened out the skin tone on my legs."

— Isabelle (5/5)

I like this body lotion

"I like this body lotion a lot. It felt hydrating and absorbed quickly. Too soon to tell what the retinol effects will be."

— Sara R. (4/5)

Great Staple

"Great nighttime lotion."

— Nicole R. (5/5)

Love!

"My skin feels so amazing after I use this and in the morning it still feels hydrated!"

— Kendra K. (5/5)

New addition to the retinol fam

"Feel great on the skin and not drying"

— van n. (5/5)

Doesn't smell!

"I was worried about a smell based on prior reviews, but for me it is completely odorless. Goes on great. No reactions."

— Emily M. (5/5)

Moisturizing

"The only thing I can say about this lotion is that is moisturizing, which is great. I just started using it so I cannot tell if there are results from the retinol. This does not cause dryness or peeling like retinol products normally do. It does have a strange, but not offensive, smell."

— Marena S. (4/5)

Excellent product

"I love this product. If you use retinol on your face you should be using it on your body skin also. Love this brand!"

— Susan B. (5/5)

Very small quantity

"Do take note of the size as retinol products must be used regularly, if not every day. I’m still saving mine for winter, when I wear more clothes to block the sun but based on the price per ounce, I am unlikely to repurchase."

— Jellybeans D. (3/5)
