You all know I love trying new skincare and body products, but I also like to know when something is actually worth it. Nécessaire has been showing up everywhere lately, from beauty influencers to magazine must-have lists, and I wanted to find out if it truly lives up to the hype.

Nécessaire is known for clean, minimalist formulas packed with active ingredients, think vitamins, niacinamide, peptides, and even retinol. The packaging is sleek, the scents are subtle, and everything is made to feel luxurious. But let’s be real, it’s also a little pricey. So, is it worth spending extra? Here are a few of their bestsellers.

Nécessaire The Body Retinol and Nécessaire The Body Lotion

Nécessaire The Body Retinol and The Body Lotion
Nécessaire The Body Retinol | Nécessaire The Body Lotion Fragrance-Free

Because I have such dry skin, these are the first two products I wanted to try. If you’ve ever wished your body lotion worked like your face serum, this one’s for you. The Body Retinol helps firm and smooth skin texture while improving tone over time. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin but delivers real results with consistent use. Perfect for areas like arms, thighs, and chest.

  • Firms and smooths rough texture
  • Includes 0.1% pure retinol for gentle resurfacing
  • Hydrating base with peptides and vitamins
  • Great for mature or uneven skin

This Fragrance-Free Body Lotion is a true classic. It’s lightweight but deeply nourishing thanks to the usual ingredients -niacinamide, peptides, and plant oils rich in omega fatty acids. It absorbs quickly, yay, no greasy residue, and leaves skin feeling silky smooth. If you want an everyday lotion that feels like skincare, this is a great pick.

  • Multi-peptide formula supports firm, smooth skin
  • Niacinamide helps improve tone and texture
  • Lightweight and fast-absorbing
  • Ideal for dry or mature skin

Nécessaire The Hand Duo

If your hands get dry (especially during winter), this Hand Duo Set is a winner. The Day Cream hydrates with ceramides and peptides, while the Night Retinol Treatment smooths fine lines and helps repair rough texture overnight. The fragrance-free formula is perfect if you are like me and can’t deal with lots of smells.

  • Two-step system: hydration by day, repair by night
  • Retinol smooths and renews skin overnight
  • Ceramides strengthen the skin barrier
  • Fragrance-free and dermatologist-tested

Nécessaire Body Wash, Deodorant & Lotion Trio

Here’s a great trio. Let’s start with the Body Wash. It’s rich, foamy, and infused with vitamins C and E to brighten and condition your skin. I need the hydration at every opportunity! The Deodorant uses mandelic acid to fight odor and minimize irritation (great if you shave your underarms). And the Body Lotion is silky, non-greasy, and loaded with peptides and plant oils that hydrate beautifully. Who else is struggling with super dry skin?!

  • Body Wash gently cleanses without stripping
  • Deodorant minimizes odor and discoloration
  • Body Lotion hydrates and strengthens the skin barrier
  • Clean, non-irritating formulas for everyday use

Nécessaire Hair Care: The Rosemary Duo & Serum

The Rosemary line is one of their newer launches, and it’s all about supporting stronger, fuller hair. The shampoo and conditioner cleanse and soften without weighing hair down. The real standout is the serum, a lightweight, leave-in treatment that absorbs quickly and promotes healthier-looking hair over time.

  • Strengthens hair and promotes a healthy scalp
  • Lightweight, non-greasy serum for daily use
  • Clean, fresh herbal scent
  • Helps improve hair density and shine

Nécessaire The Lip Balm

This isn’t your average Lip Balm, Gurls. It’s thick, rich, and packed with plant oils that melt right in. A little goes a long way, and it leaves lips soft and shiny without feeling sticky. It’s fragrance-free, too!

  • Ultra-hydrating formula with plant oils
  • Long-lasting moisture
  • Fragrance-free and clean
  • Perfect for overnight or daily use

Nécessaire The Deodorant Olibanum

If you don’t want to buy the trio above, the Deodorant is available as a standalone. The mandelic acid neutralizes odor naturally. It’s smooth, non-irritating, and dries quickly. If you’ve had trouble with natural deodorants before, this one’s a step above and effective but gentle.

  • Non-toxic formula that actually works
  • Smooth, fast-drying texture
  • Helps calm and even the underarm skin
  • Subtle, sophisticated scent

Nécessaire The Body Exfoliator

If you love baby-soft skin, this Body Exfoliator is a must. It uses gentle exfoliants (bamboo charcoal, glycolic, and lactic acid) to smooth rough patches and brighten dull skin. It’s great before self-tanning or just to keep your skin looking polished.

  • Dual exfoliation for smoother skin
  • Gentle and non-irritating
  • Preps skin for lotion or tanning
  • Leaves skin soft and radiant

Nécessaire The Body Peel

This is like a professional treatment at home. The Body Peel contains acids that resurface the skin overnight. It’s great for treating rough texture, dryness, or uneven tone, especially on arms and legs. Use it once or twice a week for smooth, glowing results.

  • Resurfaces and brightens dull skin
  • Improves texture and tone
  • Works overnight for quick results
  • Perfect complement to The Body Retinol

So, Is Nécessaire Worth the Price?

Gurls, here’s my honest take: if you love simple, effective, luxurious-feeling skincare, then yes, Nécessaire is worth it. The ingredients are top-quality, and every product is designed to deliver results without irritation. It’s self-care that actually works.

That said, it’s definitely a splurge. If you’re curious but want to start small, I’d recommend trying The Hand Duo or Body Lotion first. They give you that spa-like experience without the full investment. Once you fall in love with the texture and results, you can build from there.
