Not only is this treatment our favorite for treating crepey skin, we also chose it as our overall best pick for best retinol body lotions too. We really can’t get enough of this powerhouse formula.
“Retinol is an essential antiaging ingredient for the treatment of lax, crepey skin as it helps promote new collagen production, which in turn works to firm and tighten skin,” says Dr. Yadav. “This formula features 0.1% retinol, which is a gentle, lower concentration [than the typical 0.3% to 1%] yet shows clinical efficacy to firm skin over time. It has hydrating panthenol, grapeseed oil, shea butter, and evening primrose oil to support skin barrier function and create a smoother, healthier look to the skin.”
Tester notes: “This body treatment is effective yet gentle, and so far, it hasn’t triggered any redness on my legs,” says Glamour commerce writer Alanna Martine Kilkeary. “I’ve been using it for my thigh area where I’m starting to notice the development of uneven skin texture, and have definitely seen an improvement after using it for a few weeks. It makes my skin look and feel buttery smooth, and I’ve noticed a few less divots. While it hasn’t eradicated my spots of cellulite altogether, it certainly is helping in minimizing its appearance.”

Best for: Mature, sagging, post-procedure skin
For people over 60 who might experience more crepiness with age, consider investing in Alastin Skin TransFORM Body Treatment. This formula features three key ingredients, including TriHex Technology (the brand’s proprietary blend of active peptides and botanicals), LipoDRONE (another proprietary ingredient that allows peptides to absorb into the skin through your hair follicle), and dill extract. These ingredients help give the appearance of firmer skin, support the production of elastin and collagen, and help improve the texture of your skin. Customer reviewers report more hydrated skin, less crepiness and wrinkles, and tightened skin as well.
While this pick is pretty expensive, a little goes a long way. It can be used anywhere on your body including arms, hands, knees, and the neck. Plus, this product can be used after a procedure (like liposuction)—the TriHex Technology helps clear out damaged fat cells and debris left behind after body-contouring treatments.
Tester notes: “Alastin Skincare TransForm Body Treatment undoubtedly made the skin on my thighs smoother and softer after using for a few days—both visually and to the touch. When I compared how my legs felt after using TransForm, I noticed it flattened some of the rough tiny wrinkles that appear above the knees and reduced the appearance of my chicken bumps, an unexpected but welcome result. The only problem is, this product is a little odd-smelling. But if you can deal with the smell, you’ll enjoy the results.,” says Glamour copy manager Charlotte Twine.
