Topicals earns strong reviews for delivering visible results—especially with Faded for dark spots and hyperpigmentation and Like Butter for soothing dryness and eczema—while its inclusive ethos and playful packaging resonate. However, reviews also flag a persistent sulfur-like scent, occasional dryness or irritation, mixed efficacy for some users, and fussy aluminum tubes or leaky spray formats.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I've tried a lot of undereye masks, and these ones are definitely top 3 for me!!! The felt/fabric feel is unique vs the usual gel ones and they actually stay on. I love the pattern, and I do feel like there's a noticeable brightening and anti-puffing sensation I get after wearing them for 10-15 minutes. To be improved: cooling sensation under the eye - I feel like other products help with a "hangover relief" sense of coolness that's relaxing. These don't feel as soothing. Def a do-over for me! And the travel packs are easy to take with me on trips and to have an extra for a friend after a long bach weekend :)

I love that this is a WOC-owned brand with founders who understand what it's like to have sensitive, reactive skin. I personally have used Like Butter and the eye masks. Neither one of them irritated my sensitive skin and they have no added fragrance which can cause irritation. It's important to know that this is a sensitive skin brand going into it--many people mention or complain about the lack of fragrance but that means you aren't their target audience.

I have been a Topical Insider for about 2 months now. Not only do I love the products that Topicals creates, but their mental health awareness and advocacy mission and work, and their AMAZING customer service! I will always be a lover of Topicals. I especially love their Like Butter and Faded mist, as well as the Like Butter mask and Faded eye patches!

The mister on the Like Butter and Faded mists- but they are now new and improved, and work just as they should! (new launch)

I have used my entire tube of the Like Butter. I think some people have issues with pilling with the product and I did the first time I used it. I looked online and realized I was applying it wrong. Definitely need to have your face slightly wet and it glides on. I recommend it as an overnight mask. I had dermatitis spreading on my eyelid/upper eye area last summer from a bad reaction to a different skin product and Like Butter helped it go away and soothe the skin. I have used my Faded cream a little bit and I know many people hate the smell but I actually don't mind if my skin care doesn't always smell all fruity and have added fragrances to them as fragrance irritates my skin. Will be repurchasing Like Butter ASAP.

The tube key should come with the products especially if you are buying the duo together.

I am so happy that I found Topicals. I absolutely love their ‘Faded’ serum as I have struggled with uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation for years. It’s especially difficult to find products for when you’re of darker skin tone. After a few applications of the Faded cream I definitely was able to see a difference. So I have added to my daily skin care routine. My skin has been more clearer, texture smoother and my pores are shrinking.

I would say as long as you don’t have sensitive skin it should work for you. I will forewarn you that it does have a strong sulfur smell because of that ingredient. However, outside of that it is a great product overall.

While their products may be slightly more expensive than other options on the market, their commitment to using high-quality, all-natural ingredients and their effectiveness in providing pain relief make them a solid choice for those looking to try CBD-infused topic

I’ve only tried the faded serum and I really like it. ( I got the ingrown roller too but haven’t really used it yet) I bought it for my best friend like a week after I got it and I told a bunch of my friends about it bc I thought it was so great. I actually see instant results ( like I put it on at night and dark spots look better in the morning ) I saw a lot of reviews where people are complaining about the smell, but I feel like it’s not that big of a deal, I kind of appreciate that it doesn’t have some kind of like fake fragrance scent to it, I hate it when I feel like I’m putting perfume on my body via skincare. That being said , it definitely does smell so if your sensitive to that maybe it’s not the right product for you. Also love the aluminum tube packaging. I also think the price point is pretty good. Comparable products are often much more expensive.

Would be a good idea to Offer people a key to use on the tube for a small price or even just provide it with the tube because aluminum tubes can be hard to deal with as they start to empty.

Topicals Butter moisturizer is an elite option. It works really well and it looks like butter. What’s not to love?

Love this product for post acne marks!

I love topicals! I'm a loyal user for years, as someone who experiences hyperpigmentation due to acne scarring. I love that they are dedicated to their product line. The packaging is not only cute but functionally "serious" -- I like the tubes, and they're a staple in my medicine cabinet. I have recommended these to friends several times to rave reviews.
I love this brand and their innovative products. FADED has been a huge help in fading post acne marks and dark spots from the sun. It's a unique texture, has a funky scent but you kind of grow to love it, and it really works!
Feedback
Like Butter was just kind of meh for me. It feels like a gel-cream and not so much a mask, so it feels kind of pointless using it as a mask. I love the ingredients but never noticed any effect at all!
I love the faded topicals product. I feel like it really helps with the appearance of my acne and post acne marks. I can use it everyday with irritation. I have not tried anything else from them but would love to!
Bought Topical's Faded Serum a few months ago and have been using it 1-2x weekly as recommended. I put it on after washing my face at night, and then add on moisturizer after. I don't have any dark spots, but I do have some scars from old blemishes. I've noticed that this has helped significantly! Only downside is that it can be VERY drying, a bit irritating around sensitive skin (like near the eyes), and as it mentions on the product page - it smells weird. Topicals says it smells like sulfur, but I didn't really know what that meant until I sniffed it myself. Hard to explain, but its a weird chemical smell. Definitely unpleasant but the product seems to work well, so I've been powering through!

I own both Like Butter and Faded. Like Butter is my go to mask when my skin is red and irritated. 🥵🥵. The Madecassoside and oatmeal calm my skin overnight . Make sure to apply the product in thin layers if youre acne prone. you can also apply LB like a mask and rinse it off after 15 mins. Faded does not smell nearly as bad as I thought that it would. If you can eat eggs than you can deal with the smell of faded (just a bit sulfur like ). love them both ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
love their body retinol serum + body mists for eczema. great for sensitive skin and I put it on after the shower for glowing and smooth skin. ALSO JUST LOOK AT THE PACKAGING!!!

I love the products. You could try the Brightening serum or the Hydrating moisturizers, they work really well on my skin.
Faded works very well But be warned it is very stinky.
Completely worth the hype! I put this on any skin irritation, and it helps a lot!
Standout brand for me! I love the holy roller and faded (I have the spray version) and they're such a great balance of efficacious and also a nice, fun, warm brand and packaging experience. Would definitely try out other new products if they addressed my skin concerns!
I'm using the "Faded" ointment right now. I like the ointment format for niacinamide because you really feel like it's staying and working on your skin. Yes it's kinda funky smelling. But I'll keep using it. Will update after using for a while as I haven't seen this work yet.
