Aging comes in many forms — crow’s feet, smile lines, sagging — but one of the most irritating to treat is crepe-y skin. It feels and looks fragile and thin, plus it tends to be on large swaths of your body, meaning that any product you use to treat it needs to be heavy duty (and not come in a tiny, expensive jar).
Amazon shoppers have long been raving about the Naturewell Clinical Retinol Advanced Moisture Cream, and for good reason: It’s affordable, can be used all over your body (including your face) and comes in a huge 16-ounce tub. Most importantly: It works.

The formula is packed with micro-encapsulated retinol, which penetrates deep into your skin. It helps boost elasticity and firmness, as well as improve skin texture and tone. Plus, the made-in-the-USA cream is cruelty-, paraben-, dye- and gluten-free. And it’s also free of artificial colors and flavors.
Of course, the most impressive accolade is the sheer number of rave reviews it has — nearly 8,400 five-star reviews, many of which come from women over 50. Needless to say, they’re delighted with how magical it was on crepe-y skin, especially on their hands.
“I love how this cream feels,” shared one reviewer. “When you pump some into your hand it feels thick like it’s gonna end up being greasy but it’s not! The backs of my hands were getting crepe-y like another reviewer mentioned, after just a few applications that is gone!”
One reviewer, who said she “wished [she] could give more than five stars” noted:
“I tried this lotion on one arm and did a comparison. OMG! The difference was astounding and immediate. My skin has a glow about it. No easy feat for 65-year-old skin. Buy it. You won’t regret it.”
It’s not just for crepe-y skin, either — some reviewers noticed that it did a number on their sun spots, too:
One notes: “Sun spots are fading after just one week! My 50-year-old sun-damaged skin is looking and feeling so much better!”
This reviewer put it best: “Should be called miracle cream. Not only does it soften your skin, it gets rid of hyperpigmentation. I look younger already!”
The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
