I smeared Kim’s new body butter on my left leg and a $12 drugstore one on the right. For 30 days, my limbs were a science fair.
Thirty days because I refuse to be hypnotized by a Kardashian launch. The packaging is heavy. The price is heavier. My skin had to do the talking.
The full collection runs $150 — six products. I bought the hero items: the Body Butter ($45) and the Glow Drops ($42). The claim? “Red light therapy in a bottle” via something called “R-Light Technology.”
The Texture
Feels like melted marshmallow, but sinks in before you can say “Kourtney.”
The Smell
Faint, clean, expensive. Like a hotel lobby, not a perfume counter.
The Packaging
Pumps that actually work. No digging for the last drop. Shocking.

Here is the tea: it’s a hydration game, not a miracle. The R-Light tech is mostly a peptide complex — clever marketing, but the formula is surprisingly solid.
- Niacinamide: brightens and smooths rough patches
- Peptides: plumps skin, fakes firmness
- Squalane: locks in moisture without the grease
- Glycerin: the old reliable, draws water in

The Glow Drops feel like liquid silk. They absorb in 10 seconds flat, and there’s zero tacky film on my sheets. The body butter is thick — almost like a mask — so I only use it at night.
Week two hit a snag. My keratosis pilaris (those chicken-bump arms) didn’t vanish. But by week three, my skin had a subtle sheen that wasn’t there before. Not glitter. Just… healthy.

My left leg was softer. Measurably softer — like comparing a cotton sheet to a linen one. But the right leg? It looked 90% the same. That 10% difference is the price tag.

Kim didn’t invent body care. But she did make a solid, idiot-proof formula that feels like a treat. If the name was “Glow Lab,” I’d still buy the drops.
