Topicals earns largely positive reviews for efficacious treatments—especially Faded for hyperpigmentation and post-acne marks—while Like Butter soothes dryness and eczema-prone, sensitive skin. Reviews also flag notable drawbacks: a frequently criticized sulfuric odor, occasional dryness or irritation, inconsistent results for some users, messy aluminum tubes, and textures that not everyone loves.

  • I love the size of this Silicone Body Buffer. Much better than using a loofah in the shower. The silicone is soft and flexible but also helps with gently exfoliating. The letter “T” as the handle makes it easy to hold onto.

  • This tonic was so easy to incorporate into my routine and helped keep my skin feeling smoother and less irritated after shaving. My favorite feature by far is the roll-on applicator, which makes it simple to apply exactly where it's needed without making a mess or wasting product. The packaging is convenient and great for quick touch-ups, and I've definitely noticed a downtick in ingrowns since I started using it.

  • They’re probably the prettiest eye masks I’ve seen so far. I was expecting these to slide down my face like every other gel eye mask, but they actually stay put perfectly. I love using them when my under-eyes look tired; they do a great job at depuffing and just making me look awake.

  • tbh I was so scared to try this because everyone said it smelled like rotten eggs, but the new version has zero smell. I love it!! I’ve struggled with dark spots for a while, and this actually works miracles. They are fading so much faster and it doesn't irritate my skin.

  • The tube was filled with air. After using it twice it was then half gone. Also I bought extra to get free shipping and at last minute I was still charged for shipping. They also refused to use my discount they emailed to me before I ordered (the reason I ordered). Customer support ignored me.

  • pretty moisturizing, unique texture and nice minty flavor. can be a bit too sticky for me though, often getting stuck in my hair. intrigued by their other products and i'm looking forward to trying more!

  • Love love, love this missing lotion and regular lotion. I will order again from them. Smell is just right and not overwhelming very good moisturizing lotion. The product container is also high catching.

  • The Topicals Under Eye Mask is such a treat! It feels super cooling and soothing the moment you put it on, and it really helps with puffiness and tired-looking eyes. I love how hydrating it is without feeling sticky or heavy, and it leaves my under-eye area looking refreshed and bright. I even added them to my bridesmaids’ bachelorette goodie bags and they all loved them! Using these masks feels like a little mini spa moment, and now they’re a total favorite for both me and my friends.

  • I love topicals!! However, their slick lip salve has my heart, it IS sticky, but I don’t mind because of the hydration and shiny lip benefits 😍 The eye masks are also a staple in my routine!

  • I really like that it isn't sticky. It feels moisturizing and lasts a long time. I'm not normally a big fan of mint lip products because they tend to be too strong, too tingly and irritating for me. This one is a very subtle mint and isn't irritating at all. The 2 pack is also a great value.

  • I recently picked up the Topicals Slick Lip Duo. The set includes two the Slick Lip Balm, perfect to keep one for myself and give the other one away in a stocking or a little gift box during the holidays. The balm has a rich, creamy texture that feels luxurious on my lips. It's made with ingredients like shea butter and jojoba oil, which are known for their deeply hydrating dry lips, especially ones like mine that sadly peel apart during winter/cold weather times. It works well under lipstick or gloss as a moisturizing base. It’s not sticky and absorbs nicely, leaving lips feeling smooth but not greasy. The scent is subtle and pleasant, mint scent nothing overpowering. The only thing I noticed is it might make my lips feel hydrated but the balm itself doesn’t stay a long time on the lips you will need to reply after a hour or two. I also noticed the mint is easy to press down to get product on but the açaí color lip balm/gloss one I have to press hard down to get the it out.

  • It took exactly two months for this to start working fast and clearing up most of my old scars as well as the new ones so I enjoy it and I’m so glad they took away that nasty smell god it was awful the new one is good

  • I am loving the Topicals Faded serum. I have melasma, and as a result, I have a large dark spot in the middle of my forehead that won’t seem to go away and I am unable to laser this spot, as it will make it darker. I have been relying on bleaching cream from the plastic surgeons office, but that has done little to lighten my dark spot. Enter the Topicals Faded Brightening Serum for Dark Spots and Discoloration. This dermatologist tested brightening and hydrating serum visibly reduces stubborn dark spots, and that has been my experience. While I don’t think my melasma will ever go away, this serum has greatly lightened what once looked like a dark bullseye on my forehead. The product is scent free and layers well with the other products I use in my skincare routine. Just make sure you apply SPF after using this serum!

  • Hate to admit it but I am not good at moisturizing. It always seems like such a hassle! Reaching hard areas, missing spots and overly goop products. Thankfully, topicals like butter has saved my lifeeee. I don’t have to fight myself or my depression to apply it with much effort. It’s great to reach my legs and back area with just a simple aim, press, rub. My skin texture has gotten so much better since I’ve began to properly nourish it. Having cracked skin is never the goal. I love the multiple usage of like butter and how much it helps just about every common skin issue. The heat of my city can really burn me up on a good Saturday, like butter aides sun burn! A back-acne flare up? Dry patches on my arms or legs? LIKE BUTTER BABY.. it’s literally a staple and I’ll recommend it to anyone with skin lol.

  • Combining hydrating soothing ingredients and tyrosinase inhibitors together is genius(Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, Kojic Acid, Melatonin, Azelaic acid, and Niacinamide)! I appreciate that I get the best of both worlds in a lightweight serum that can be used daily and it *actually* helps with hyperpigmentation and texture! I'm already on my second bottle and soon will be repurchasing my third!

  • I have incredibly sensitive, reactive skin, with rosacea (ocular, papular, and blotches), recurring perioral dermatitis, and eczema. I'm also prone to hives and facial swelling from allergic contact. Finding non-reactive skincare as my conditions have worsened over the past DECADE has been a nightmare. In the past two months, my face has COMPLETELY calmed down and looks glorious. The only changes to my routine have been: 1) Add Gallinee Vinegar toner 2) Swap LikeButter by Topicals for my previous moisturizers. It's like my facial skin has been waiting for LikeButter my whole life. I don't have redness, irritation, or congestion. My facial skin is finally comfortable. I've begun using this cream as my day AND night cream (it doesn't take much!), and per the recommendation of my aesthetician, I also extend my facial routine down my neck, chest, and breasts. It's glorious! Haven't tried the other products yet, but will once it's time to reorder. The tube has been lasting quite a while. I have my eye on their Mists (Faded and Body Butter) for use on my torso. FYI, my routine is (now) gentle cleanser, toner (see above), SOS spray, gentle vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, moisturizer, and (low-oleic) oil to finish. Now I just live in fear that they'll change the product or that the company will go out of business.

  • Brightening and Clearing Serum completely changed the pesky dark spots that never were able to go away. Ive been using this for about 3 months now and the way its been able to clear my past dark spots on my body due to bacne. The ingredient list truly packs everything. The smell is something usually everyone dislikes because it smells like getting a session with Nair products. Trust me when I say you're able to look over that when you get this serum.

  • I'm currently using the faded serum for my dark spots and old marks and I love its lightweight consistency. I also love how moisturize it leaves your skin feels. The only con I experienced with this product is its bad smell, but again they explain that it's due to one active ingredient in their product. The other product that I'm using is the high roller, for someone fighting ingrown hair. I can assure you that this product has saved me from that battle.
