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

WOW! topicals is such an incredible brand in more ways than one. first, their products are great! highroller is my favorite, it helps my in grown hair and breakouts so much!!! it is such a ride or die product. and sealed has really helped my skin, it is quick and easy to add into my routine and helps to heal breakouts and scars faster! 

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.

The perfect lip mask. Also makes a great daily balm when applied lightly. It sticks so well and lasts for hours, I definitely find myself reapplying less then I usually do during the day compared to things like Vaseline and Rhode. It also is so good for my lip picking habits and eczema prone lips. 

Topical's Slick Salve is an absolute lifesaver. I have been struggling with eczema on my lips for years and was tired of having to rely only on medications. I wanted something that would hydrate and rebuild the skin barrier. It's a MIRACLE product in my opinion. The cooling sensation is so nice, it is a tiny bit sticky but I like that.  AND the company has such great values so I feel like my money is going to a good cause. 

I like the fact that it was skin barrier friendly, I didn't remember to patch test and I'm glad I didn't have to regret that. 
I just don't think its affordable for the average Nigerian skincare girlie looking for affordable product to invest in on the long-term but overall, it was good. 

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 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!

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

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. 

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. 

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. 

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.

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 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.

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. 

Love this product. Definitely worth the money and I can see my dark spots getting lighter.

Been using for a while for hyperpigmentation and I can definitely see a change in the marks and they are getting lighter

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 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! 

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'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. 


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.
