Listen, I love body serums and lotions as much as the next person, but they're not the most effective products in my bodycare routine—not even close. That superlative goes to body oil. Rich, silky, and luxurious, body oil deeply moisturizes the skin while making it feel petal soft. Plus, depending on the formula, it can also firm, brighten, and smooth the skin. That's why I'm basically body oil's biggest fan. It makes my skin look and feel like nothing else.
I'm coming up on 10 years of experience as a beauty editor, so I'm pretty sure I've tested just about every body oil on the market. I'm not kidding. I've tested the most affordable ones, the most expensive ones, and everything in between. Now, I consider myself an expert on what makes a body oil exceptional. It has to have the right texture. It has to moisturize my skin without coating it in a greasy residue. Most of all, it has to make my skin look and feel incredible—silky, dewy, plump, and healthy!

I'm going to cut to the chase and tell you that I'm obsessed with this body oil. In fact, I would bathe in it if I could. Not only does it have the most refreshing, clean citrus scent, but it also feels light and luxurious on my skin and fades signs of sun damage. Dark spots, discoloration… You name it. It's all thanks to an ingredient called tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, which is an incredibly potent and stable form of vitamin C. I swear my arms and legs have never looked better, and I've only been using it for a month or two.
Pros: Moisturizing, brightening, antioxidant-rich
Cons: Very pricey
Customer Review: "I was so excited to try Tronque's Vitamin C Body Oil — and it didn't disappoint. It's luxe, absorbs beautifully, and leaves your skin feeling silky without being greasy. You can tell it's packed with high-quality ingredients. My skin looked noticeably more even and glowy after just a few days. I also love that it's clean and free from any unnecessary junk. Huge fan of the Tronque team and everything they're creating. Highly recommend this—it's now a staple for me."

"I go through this body oil like you wouldn't believe. It's so effective."
