Whether you're starting from scratch (i.e., have never used a body care product beyond a bar soap) or are in the throes of decluttering a 14-step body care lineup, I have a very simple solution for you: mindbodygreen's postbiotic body lotion.

I've used it for years, and it's the only solution I've found to help me deal with dry, wrinkly, thin skin. 

How mindbodygreen's postbiotic body lotion relieves dry, wrinkled skin 

The basis for every good body lotion is hydrating botanicals. We included a robust assortment of ingredients that feed the skin lipids, fatty acids, humectants, and so on.

To start, there's an organic aloe vera that helps the formula splash on the skin (it's also an excellent humectant). Then shea butter and coconut oil are folded in to add richness and thickness to the texture. Finally, there are a variety of botanical oils like moringa seed oil, olive-derived squalene, and oat oil.

Users have noted the long-lasting power of the lotion, like Mikala, who wrote in: "Far better than any other lotion on the market when it comes to providing moisture and having it retain moisture long into the day."

Not only do those botanicals offer moisture, but they also have antioxidant properties. "Look for hydrating lipids and antioxidants to trap moisture and keep free radical damage in check," board-certified dermatologist Whitney Bowe, M.D., reminds us. 

Speaking of antioxidants, the formula contains two additional potent antioxidants to further bolster the formula. First, there's the powerhouse coenzyme Q10, which can help skin cells fight against lipid peroxidation, improve tone and texture, and even strengthen the free-radical-fighting power of other antioxidants. Additionally, there's a fruit complex that can help the skin deal with oxidative stress, even out overall skin appearance, and smooth the appearance of wrinkles.

But of course, there are the namesake biotic ingredients. This blend contains an algae-derived prebiotic that helps balance your skin microbiome and can calm the skin. The biotech-derived postbiotic helps the skin act more youthful, improves dermal thickness and structure, and even smooths fine lines. Together these support your body's crucial skin microbiome—which in turn can help reduce skin irritation, improve hydration levels, and reduce signs of aging.

Reviewers swear by this formula's ability to improve the appearance of the skin too. Like Wendi, who said, "I use it in the morning and night and my crepey arm skin is nice and smooth." Or Kim, who wrote, "Feels like fountain of youth goo."

The takeaway

It's a one-step routine for full-body skin care, from neck to toes. (After all, just because you should take care of your skin doesn't mean the routine itself needs to be hard.) I'm probably the lotion's biggest fan and most dedicated user, but we also have scores of fans who sing its praises too.

Like Evelyn, who wrote, "The postbiotic lotion is kind of magical. It feels silky but ungreasy and really delivers. At first I thought the postbiotic bit was hype, but my hands and wrists are free of fine lines after 48 hours. Also, a little goes a long way! 5 stars."
