Reviews mention

  • Chic minimalist packaging aesthetics
  • Spa-like eucalyptus body wash
  • Quick-absorbing hydrating serum
  • Gentle, sensitive-skin-friendly formulas
  • Inconsistent deodorant odor control
  • Lightweight lotion hydration level
  • Occasional faulty pump packaging
  • Divisive, inconsistent scent profiles

Necessaire earns mixed-to-positive reviews: the brand delivers sensorial, spa-like body care—especially Eucalyptus and Sandalwood Body Washes, the Body Exfoliator, Body Serum, select deodorants, and a well-loved mineral Sunscreen—yet several reviewers find formulas average for the hype and small sizes. Strengths include chic, functional packaging, gentle options for sensitive skin, and standout scents; weaknesses surface around inconsistent deodorant efficacy/irritation, lotion and serum being light for very dry skin, occasional faulty pumps or hard-to-empty tubes, and scents (celery/oregano notes, weak longevity) not pleasing everyone.

  • Their body lotion is AMAZING! I've tried a ton of brands because I'm picky. But their lotion is still #1 for me. Highly recommend!

  • I love the packaging, it's so elegant, and the cap of the shampoo and conditioner is such a smart design. The shampoo is nice and clarifying without totally stripping your hair. The conditioner, however, is just OK. It's not as moisturizing as I'd like and it has a powerful celery smell. You end up walking around with celery-scented hair for hours afterwards. Not ideal.

    Smells overwhelmingly like celery.

  • For me, this brand doesn't really do enough to justify the pricing. I've tried the body wash and body lotion, and I can't say that either one was any different from a typical product you might find at Target (other than perhaps the scent options). I've heard good things about their deodorant and haircare products, but my experience with the products I've tried hasn't been enough to want to try something else. I think Naturium's body care products offer more interesting options that cover a wider range of skin concerns. I think the packaging and branding is beautiful, and the bottles do look lovely sitting in the bathroom.

    At the current prices, many of their products should come in a larger size. I just don't think the formulas are special enough to justify the current pricing at the current sizes.

  • I love the transparency of their packaging sustainability. I have only used the sunscreen but I enjoy it. It's rich and gives my skin a very healthy glow. For a mineral sunscreen, it also soaks into my skin well and it is nourishing enough that I don't need a moisturizer. As someone with sensitive skin and allergies, I really like that they're fragrance free and avoid common irritants.

    I'd love to see more sets or travel size items.

  • I use the body wash and body serum regularly. I'm obsessed with the scent of eucalyptus and the serum absorbs into my skin quickly, so I can put on clothes and run out the door without worrying about the stickiness of some lotions. It makes it easy and enjoyable for me to remember to moisturize. My showers feel luxurious with the scent of the body wash and I feel it is reasonably priced.

    Travel sized would be lovely for both the body wash and serum.

  • This brand is wonderful. The scents are lovely and natural smelling. I use the body wash and deodorant. It’s one of the few natural deodorants that work for me.

  • The fresh, clean scents are my favorite. I bought the multi-product bundles to try and really liked the Eucalyptus scent. I wasn't sure if the exfoliant really worked for me.

    Feedback

    The packaging on the body wash is so finicky. I literally could not get the bottle open. I had multiple people try and they struggled too. I ended up just using it without the cap..

  • A bit on the pricer side, but I love the Sandalwood shower gel! The packaging is super innovative, and it smells great!

  • LOVE IT. 100% love it. the lotion just soaks in so well. everything smells just right like a spa. so good.

  • I have used a wide variety of this line from the body wash, the body serum, the body lotion, as well as the shampoo and conditioner. All of the products worked really well, I love the packaging. The body wash and shampoo both come in a unique twist top bottle, and the airless pump on the serum is great. Formula wise everything I have tried is a 5/5.

  • Recently tried the deodorant and the sunscreen and both will be repurchased. Love the eucalyptus scent and the sunscreen is light and smooth. The eco friendly, simple packaging is a plus that helps declarer and feel good about the purchase.

    No real feedback, just wished the scents were more available across the product line

  • I love the fragrance free option for products; the body wash is my favorite and I want to try the deodorant.

  • So I heard a lot of great things about their deodorant so I decided to give it try during sale. I originally bought the unscented version because I didn't want it to interfere with my perfume. Unfortunately, I felt like I smelled like BO the entire time. I have been using "natural" deodorants for about 2 years now so a lot of the other ones don't have me smelling immediately. So I thought maybe it's just the unscented one, so I exchanged it with the Eucalyptus and it wasn't any better. I don't think it smells like Eucalyptus, it's almost like an oregano/Italian seasoning scent to me (lol) but I just can't get myself to use it.

    Feedback

    Scent accuracy.

  • I have the lotion, and the body wash. The lotion is just whatever, it has no scent, which is fine, but it also seems not to do much. Maybe better for folks with skin that isn't dry. The body wash also seems overpriced. The scent disappears right after washing. I didn't find this line as anything special and would not buy it again.

  • I've tried the body wash, shampoo & conditioner, and deodorant. The deodorant is my favorite product ever! The shampoo & conditioner were just okay. I love the body wash, but wish it was just a little stronger in fragrance.

  • fragrance-free, sensitive-skin-friendly products tend to have a medical vibe, but necessaire is one of the chicest bodycare brands on the market. their body lotion and serum have taken my skin to the next level hydration-wise and I love the transparent efforts at sustainability. another axelrod banger!

    Feedback

    I don’t know if there’s an eco-friendly way to do it but I’d kill for (refillable?) travel sizes!

  • there isn't a single necessaire product that i don't love- their body exfoliators are somewhat gentle yet still effective at exfoliating in a way that i feel as if my skin is left feeling extremely soft afterwards. i also love how relaxing their scents are; it feels just like being at a spa. their body serums and creams are so moisturizing, and being unscented is a plus for those with more sensitive skin.

  • I love everyone of the Necessaire products. I constantly am running out of the body wash and lotion because they smell so good. The lotion is thick enough to ensure that my skin is hydrated and the soap feels smooth on my skin.

  • Obsessed with these products, specifically the body lotion and exfoliant. As someone with really dry, sensitive, eczema-prone skin, this is the ONLY body lotion I use that doesn't irritate me at all. I love that it's fragrance free and a rich texture. I also enjoy the body wash and body exfoliators that are scented, and they make my shower feel so much more luxurious. They also last a long time considering I use the products almost everyday. Definitely worth your money. I will be a forever customer!

    When I get to the end of the bottle, I always have to cut it open to get out any excess, since I don't want it to go to waste. I think this is a common issue with most packaging, but just a note.
