In the not-so-distant past, a skincare routine consisted of just two products: soap followed by a moisturizer. Then, Clinique came along with their three-step skincare regimen, which added a toner into the routine.
Fast forward to present times and skincare routines often consist of 10 or more steps! There seems to be a product for every skin woe you can think of — from makeup melting balms to hydrating essences to overnight lip masks and more.
Truly Beauty has added another product into the mix: boob polish. Yes, that’s right, Truly Beauty’s Acai Your Boobies Lifting Boob Polish is designed to smooth breast skin, while also targeting the appearance of stretch marks and fine lines.
Truly Beauty’s boob polish and the rest of their collection of brightly colored products are trending all over TikTok. But does that mean these products can give you real results?
To answer that question, we’ll evaluate the formulation details, including the key ingredients in Truly Beauty skincare products and the research that supports (or doesn’t support) their use in skincare.
We’ll also share some Truly Beauty reviews so that you can get an idea of what customers really think of these products.
What Are The Top 10 Best Truly Beauty Skincare Products?
While Truly Beauty is most well-known for their body care products, the brand offers everything that you would need to create a complete skincare routine, including cleansers, moisturizers, serums, masks, and more. Here’s a breakdown of the top 10 best Truly Beauty skincare products.
Truly Beauty Acai Your Boobies Polish
Many women want firmer, lifted breasts but don’t want to undergo an invasive procedure to get these results. Acai Your Boobies Polish is one of the few products on the market that’s designed to “perk up your pair” at home, and based on the Truly Beauty reviews, it really does what it’s claimed to do!
The product has a thick texture that feels like a mix between a body butter and an exfoliating polish. It can be used in the shower or applied as a mask 5 to 10 minutes before your shower or bath.
The acai berries in this polish not only give it a beautiful purple hue, but also provide antioxidant properties to help defend skin against free radical damage and repair damaged skin.
The formula also includes retinol, one of the gold standard anti-aging ingredients. Retinol works deep within the skin where it boosts collagen synthesis, increases elasticity, and repairs connective tissue. It also increases cellular turnover, which helps to promote smoother, healthier skin.
According to a publication in the journal Clinical Interventions in Aging, retinol can minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve uneven skin tone, and restore skin firmness.
While it’s better to use leave-on retinol products, it seems like this blend of ingredients really works based on the Acai Your Boobies Polish reviews.
For example, one Truly Beauty review says, “Love this stuff so much it makes your skin soft has made a visible difference in the lift of my breast, and for reference I am smaller chested after breastfeeding my child for 2 1/2 years. The fact that my husband mentioned that they looked very perky and bigger (that part may be in his head lol) I was hooked.”
Bottom Line: Acai Your Boobies Polish combines antioxidant-rich acai with gold-standard retinol, creating a thick exfoliating polish that helps to firm and brighten skin.
Truly Beauty Buns of Glowry Smoothing Butt Polish
Cellulite, uneven texture, and body acne are skin concerns that no one wants to talk about, yet they can affect a lot of women’s confidence. Fortunately, Truly Beauty addresses these issues with their Smoothing Butt Polish, which is designed to hydrate, firm, and plump your skin.
The brand highlights wheat protein and watermelon extract as key ingredients, but the formula actually contains less than 1% of these ingredients. We know this by looking at the ingredient list (which is in order of descending concentrations). Both of these ingredients are listed after the preservative phenoxyethanol, which cannot be used in concentrations more than 1%.
The true key ingredients in this formula include humectants like glycerin and sorbitol, emollients like shea butter and mango seed butter, bitter orange flower extract, and retinol. These are all excellent skincare ingredients, but based on the Truly Beauty reviews it doesn’t seem like they help to improve the appearance of cellulite.
Bottom Line: Smoothing Butt Polish contains humectants, emollients, bitter orange, and retinol, which should help to promote smoother, softer, more even skin.
Truly Beauty Unicorn Fruit Whipped Body Butter
This rainbow-colored whipped body butter looks more like an ice cream treat than a skin care product, but we assure you it’s packed with plenty of skin-nourishing ingredients.
A base of shea butter, rich in fatty acids and vitamin E, boasts emollient properties that work to create a protective, hydrating barrier on the skin’s surface. Shea butter is combined with plenty of additional emollients — coconut oil, kokum butter, mango butter, just to name a few — to ensure your skin is silky smooth.
The acai berries and matcha in this buttery moisturizer both have antioxidant properties, which helps them fight the free radicals and delay the signs of aging.
Bottom Line: A rich body butter that combines a blend of emollients with acai berries and matcha in order to protect and hydrate skin.
Truly Beauty Coco Cloud Whipped Luxury Shave Butter
If you want to avoid nicks, cuts, or razor burn when shaving, it’s important to use a product that lubricates the skin well. Truly Beauty’s Coco Cloud Whipped Luxury Shave Butter promises to do exactly that.
This is another Truly Beauty product in which the “key” ingredient — coconut milk — is one of the lowest concentration ingredients in the formula, which is very misleading.
The true key ingredients in this shave butter include humectants like glycerin and sorbitol, emollients like shea butter and mango seed butter, rose distillate, and arrowroot extract.
Overall, this shave butter will get the job done, just don’t expect all of the benefits of coconut milk that the brand highlights on their sales page!
Bottom Line: A whipped shave butter that should help to soften and lubricate skin, thus, helping to prevent nicks, cuts, and razor burn.
Truly Beauty Buns of Glowry Smoothing Butt Serum
A few drops of Truly Beauty’s Smoothing Butt Serum might be just what you need to smooth and tighten your derriere.
The bitter orange extract in this serum is abundant in methoxylated flavones and flavanones that increase circulation, facilitate tissue drainage, and plump out skin. Ultimately, this helps to smooth, tone, and improve the aesthetic appearance of dimply skin.
The rest of the formula consists of a blend of botanical extracts, including rose, chinaberry, aloe vera, watermelon, hibiscus, beet root, and many more.
Bottom Line: A serum formulated specifically to smooth and tighten your bum with bitter orange extract.
Truly Beauty Black Jelly Blemish Treatment Body Serum
Truly Beauty harnesses the antimicrobial powers of black charcoal, witch hazel, and tea tree oil in one lightweight body serum to combat active breakouts while healing acne scars.
Black charcoal helps to prevent and clear acne by absorbing all the gunk inside pores, such as sebum, dead cells, impurities, and bacteria. It also reduces inflammation caused by acne, and helps lighten up scars and blemishes.
Witch hazel functions as an astringent that can temporarily degrease skin, tighten and tone skin, and minimize the appearance of enlarged pores.
And the final blemish-fighting ingredient in this body serum is tea tree oil, which has antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Due to these properties, tea tree oil has the ability to kill the bacteria that are responsible for causing blemishes. Tea tree oil also soothes any redness and inflammation associated with existing blemishes.
Bottom Line: A body serum that helps to prevent and clear blemishes with black charcoal, witch hazel, and tea tree oil.
Truly Beauty CBD Jelly Anti-Blemish Facial Cleanser
A soothing base of aloe vera makes up this jelly cleanser, while a few surfactants are included to clear away dirt, oil, and other impurities.
And just as the name suggests, the cleanser includes CBD for its calming, anti-inflammatory, and restoring properties. It can help reduce redness and inflammation associated with acne breakouts while also decreasing excessive oil production. However, it’s best to use leave-on products with CBD so that this ingredient has time to provide all of these benefits!
The brand claims that salicylic acid is a key ingredient, but the formula contains a pretty low concentration of this ingredient, which is a shame since salicylic acid is one of the best ingredients for preventing and treating acne!
Bottom Line: This jelly cleanser includes aloe vera to soothe and hydrate, surfactants to clear dirt and impurities, and CBD to reduce inflammation and balance oil production.
Truly Beauty Mary Jane Glow Serum
Another CBD product by Truly Beauty is the aptly named Mary Jane Glow Serum. We already explained how CBD helps combat acne, but let’s discuss how this ingredient can help with signs of inflammation and aging.
CBD penetrates deeply into the skin, triggering cellular communication that is responsible for numerous positive, physiological responses in the body, including potent highly anti-inflammatory properties.
CBD may also help to prevent signs of aging because of its antioxidant properties. Lastly, CBD is very soothing and can help with sensitivity and redness. Even if you don’t have visible signs of sensitivity, CBD can help combat the environmental stressors we face every day.
The rest of the formula includes a blend of botanical extracts, including aloe vera, honeysuckle, and aspen bark extract, just to name a few.
Bottom Line: This CBD serum should help to balance oil production, reduce inflammation, and prevent signs of aging.
Truly Beauty CBD Jelly Anti-Blemish Body Mask
Aloe vera leaf juice is the key ingredient in this body mask. You’re probably already aware that Aloe can soothe a sunburn, but did you know it’s also excellent for adding hydration to skin? That’s because Aloe vera contains a rich supply of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), a class of sugar molecules that help bind moisture to the skin.
The rest of the ingredients in this mask are found in low concentrations (less than 1%) because they are all listed after the preservative. A few of those ingredients include glycerin, witch hazel, spirulina, and hemp seed oil.
So this Body Mask is almost the same as Aloe vera gel you would use after getting a sunburn!
Bottom Line: A hydrating body mask that mostly consists of aloe vera leaf juice.
Truly Beauty Anti-Cellulite Mask
This is a leave-on mask that’s meant to be applied daily to anywhere on your body where you want to target cellulite (ex: bum, back of thighs).
Similar to other Truly Beauty products, bitter orange and retinol are the key ingredients in the Anti-Cellulite Mask. The rest of the formula consists of emollients to soften skin and lock in moisture, such as coconut oil and grape seed oil.
One Truly Beauty reviewer raves: “Love this stuff! Makes my skin smooth and hides the cellulite and stretch marks on the booty. A must have for bikini season.”
Bottom Line: This Anti-Cellulite Mask combines bitter orange extract and retinol to reduce uneven texture and cellulite, promoting smoother, more even skin.
What’s Inside Truly Beauty Skin Care Products?
We noticed that the brand uses a few of the same key ingredients throughout the Truly Beauty collection, and those include:
- Aloe Vera Leaf Juice
- Bitter Orange Flower Extract
- CBD
- Glycerin
- Retinol
- Shea Butter
- Witch Hazel
These are all excellent skincare ingredients, and they all have research to support their benefits. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of a few of these ingredients.
Retinol
Retinol, one of the gold standard anti-aging ingredients, works deep within the skin where it boosts collagen synthesis, increases elasticity, and repairs connective tissue. It also increases cellular turnover, which helps to promote smoother, healthier skin.
It’s used in the popular Truly Beauty Acai Your Boobies Polish.
CBD
In skin care, CBD is most well-known for its calming, anti-inflammatory, and restoring properties.
It penetrates deeply into the skin, triggering cellular communication that is responsible for numerous positive, physiological responses in the body, including potent highly anti-inflammatory properties.
Research has shown that CBD can help reduce redness and inflammation associated with acne breakouts. In addition, CBD has the potential to decrease excessive sebum (oil) production, as well as help reduce other triggers of acne.
CBD may also help to prevent signs of aging because of its antioxidant properties. Lastly, CBD is very soothing and can help with sensitivity and redness. Even if you don’t have visible signs of sensitivity, CBD can help combat the environmental stressors we face every day.
Fragrance
Also, we know from the Truly Beauty reviews that customers love the scents of these products.
But if you’re a savvy skincare consumer (and we know you are), then we want to remind you that fragrance isn’t doing your skin any favors.
You may already know that fragrance ingredients have the potential to cause skin irritation and sensitivity.
But another more concerning problem is that the brand can use a proprietary blend of chemicals to create the fragrance. On average, this consists of 30 to 50 chemicals (but it can have as much as 200 components).
Want to know the worst part? The brand does not have to disclose which chemicals they use on the label. They are allowed to list this blend as “Fragrance (Parfum)” on the ingredient list.
Furthermore, a 2018 study by Women’s Voices for the Earth discovered that in over 3,000 chemicals reportedly used for fragrances, 1,242 were chemicals of concern – and that included at least 7 possible carcinogenic (cancer-causing) agents.
How Much Do Truly Beauty Skincare Products Cost?
Truly Beauty products are pretty affordable, for example, the Acai Your Boobies Scrub costs $28 USD for 2 fl oz, while the CBD Jelly Anti-Blemish Facial Cleanser costs $25 USD for 8 fl oz.
Where to Buy Truly Beauty Products?
Truly Beauty skincare products are sold on the brand’s website (trulybeauty.com), as well as several third party online retailers such as Target.com, Ulta.com, and more.
What is The Truly Beauty Return Policy?
The Truly Beauty return policy states, “We’ve all been there – sometimes a product after the first or second use just doesn’t work for you or your skin type. No biggie. Please contact our customer support at [email protected] and we will be happy to help you! Please kindly note, we do not cover the cost for return of unwanted products but if you are not satisfied with your order please contact us, as we’re happy to help.”
Is Truly Beauty Cruelty Free?
Yes, Truly Beauty is cruelty free.
Is Truly Beauty Vegan?
Yes, all Truly Beauty products are 100% vegan.
Our Verdict
Overall, we wanted to love the Truly Beauty products, but we’re disappointed that nearly all products contain artificial fragrances, and that many of the “key” ingredients are used in very low concentrations.
Pros
- Products are formulated with beneficial ingredients (i.e. shea butter, glycerin, retinol, etc.)
- Many positive Truly Beauty reviews
- Truly Beauty is cruelty free
Cons
- Almost all Truly Beauty products contain fragrance
- Many of the “key” ingredients are used in very low concentrations
