So I used Rihanna’s body cream for a month. The hype is loud — but is it just noise?
The real test: does it work when you’re not dancing under stage lights, but just living your dry-skin life?
It’s a whipped body oil-cream hybrid from Fenty Skin. $42. The claim? A “no-residue” glow. I was skeptical.
Whipped Texture
Feels like cool marshmallow fluff in the jar.
Oil-Infused
Has Barbados cherry and baobab oils — but it’s not greasy.
Scent
That “fresh” fragrance is strong. Lingers for hours, like it or not.

It’s a cocktail of oils and butters. The hero is baobab oil — a mega moisturizer. But the fragrance blend is high on the list, which explains the scent’s staying power.
- Baobab Oil: Deep hydration, skin-softening
- Barbados Cherry Oil: Antioxidant boost
- Cupuacu & Shea Butters: Lock in moisture
- Fragrance Blend: That signature ‘Fenty Fresh’ scent

Melts on skin like warm butter. Absorbs in under a minute — you can get dressed fast. Leaves a subtle, satin sheen.
After two weeks, my legs were noticeably softer. The surprise? It didn’t moisturize my crusty elbows enough. Needed something heavier there.

My skin was softer, yes. But not radically transformed. The glow is real, but the moisture is medium-duty.

A fun, effective product that leans more “experience” than “essential.” Rihanna’s magic is in the feel, not a miracle.
