When it comes to full body skincare, the struggle is seriously real. From stretch marks (which I lovingly call my life's little memories) to that cellulite that showed up uninvited one day, I’m basically always on the lookout for a holy grail. 👀

With a sea of products promising miracles, it can be hard to figure out which products are worth adding to cart and which are better off skipped. But fear not—as a beauty expert with over a decade of experience in the industry, I’ve got your back! Or rather, your butt, thighs, and any other part of you that needs a little extra love.

Here’s my honest rundown of the top 5 bundles of lotions and potions that tighten, firm, moisturize, and boost skin's glow for the love of our whole bodies.

1. Truly | Ultimate Body Routine

The Ultimate Body Routine is an amazing set of six products designed for total body care, complete with two polishes, two serums, and two body butters. The first time I slathered on Truly Beauty’s “Acai Your Boobies”’ and “Buns of Glowry”, I chuckled at the names, but let me tell you, my skin drinks this stuff up. This set has over 5,000 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews for good reason.

The Acai Your Boobies line is powered by antioxidant-rich acai and wrinkle-fighting retinol to help reveal new skin, boost collagen, and improve elasticity. And Buns of Glowry combines vitamin c from watermelon and ceramide-rich wheat protein to exfoliate as it softens.

The Polishes are a perfect, thick consistency, scrubbing away my flakes and texture, softening my skin, and prepping it for maximum moisture absorption. The Serums are lovely and more gel-like than other serums I’ve tried, delivering deep hydration without stickiness. I finish it off with the Butter to boost glow, add moisture back into my skin, and seal everything together.

After a few weeks of consistent use, I was definitely able to see improvements in the overall texture of my skin, tightness, and a natural radiance that really lasts. Plus, for a limited time, Truly is throwing in a FREE mystery bag (worth $190+) with every purchase over $150.

2. Sol De Janeiro | Brazilian Icons Duo

This Brazilian Icons Duo is just that—iconic. It comes with Brazilian Bum Bum Cream and Perfume Mist, which is the same tropical, pistachio, salted caramel and vanilla fragrance in the Bum Bum Cream, bottled up to go.

The Cream is ultra rich and nourishing for a skin-smooth finish. Guaraná Extract is the main ingredient here that really helps to smooth in and tighten the skin. I could definitely see a difference with time—though not quite as dramatic as Truly’s!

It’s also worth noting that the product sizes for this set are pretty small, and you may need to repurchase the Bum Bum Cream especially to see the full effects. At $86 for the duo, it’s definitely not the most cost effective body care option on the list.

3. Maelys Cosmetics | ICONS The Full Body Bundle

ICONS The Full Body Bundle consists of 6 powerhouse creams and masks that target the arms, booty, inner thighs, belly, and boobs.

I get a little warm and tingling sensation when I use these products, making me feel like something’s really working! It’s totally bearable, but definitely something to note if you have more sensitive skin.

This line is on the pricier side, though, which is why it's a little lower on my list.

4. JLo Beauty | Ultimate Body Trio

Everyone wants to glow like JLo, so I was so excited to see that she came out with her own line of products. This line includes three products to smooth, sculpt and firm.

The Tighten and Tease Serum exfoliates and resurfaces, while the Body Cream is so smooth and deeply hydrating, I could really feel my skin drinking it in. Her Booty Balm smells amazing—mildly floral. It is so thick and creamy and left my booty so happy and hydrated, and definitely felt that it helped tighten up my skin.

5. Glossier | The Complete Body Hero Collection

This collection is the ultimate full body essentials kit, including a wash, cream, oil mist, and exfoliating bar.

The wash is an oil base that softly lathers with application—it leaves my skin feeling super soft, but not stripped. The exfoliating bar was perfectly gentle and not too harsh, but if you aren’t a fan of physical exfoliation, you might want to skip this step. The Daily Perfecting Cream left a beautiful, healthy glow to my skin but didn’t feel too heavy or greasy.

When I really want to boost the glow, I add in the Dry-Touch Oil Mist as a final step.

Final Verdict:

There are so many great options to choose from when it comes to body care, but in my experience Truly is the clear winner when it comes to improving stretch marks, cellulite, crepey skin, and sagging. As an added bonus, it’s ethically produced, and the entire range is vegan and cruelty-free.

You can score your very own Truly Ultimate Body Routine for $172.30 for a one-time purchase, or 10% off with subscribe and save ($155.07). Plus, for a limited time, Truly is throwing in a FREE mystery bag (worth $190+) with every purchase over $150. If you’re ready to wave goodbye to stretch marks and cellulite, take a look at Truly!
