Truly: Worth It?

Why I Finally Tried It (and what I actually wanted)

Truly has been everywhere for a while, and I kept going back and forth because the products look like dessert and the claims are bold. I’m super picky with body care because I’m not just chasing a “cute jar” moment—I want my skin to feel smoother, look more even, and stay hydrated without getting irritated.

My main goals were pretty simple: soft, glowy body skin, less rough texture (especially after shaving), and help with the look of dryness, uneven tone, and little bumps. I ended up trying a mix of their “butt/boob” body care and their shaving routine products, and I’m sharing what stood out in real life—texture, scent, how I used them, and what felt worth it.

The Two Things That Made Me Get the Hype

Before I even talk results, I need to say this: the reason these products get so much attention is because they’re very sensory. The textures are whipped, creamy, and “treat yourself” coded. And the scents? If you like sweet/fruity or warm vanilla-coconut vibes, it’s hard not to enjoy using them.

But enjoyment only matters if the skin actually feels better after, right? For me, the biggest “okay I get it” moment was how rejuvenated my skin felt when I paired exfoliation + moisture consistently.

Buns of Glowry Line: My “Booty Routine” Notes

I tried the smoothing polish (in-shower exfoliation) and the whipped butter (leave-on moisture). This combo is what made my skin feel the most “finished,” like I had done something extra even though it only took a few minutes.

1) The Smoothing Butt Polish (in the shower)

How it feels: It’s an exfoliating scrub that lathers when mixed with water, and the scrubby bits feel more like rounded exfoliators than sharp grit. I’m careful with body scrubs because some are way too harsh, but this one felt like it was doing the job without making my skin feel raw.

How I used it: I used it in the shower on damp skin, focused on areas where I get rough texture and uneven-looking tone. I didn’t need a ton of product—once water hits it, it spreads and works easier than expected.

What I noticed: Right after rinsing, my skin felt smoother and looked more even in a “freshly polished” way. Over time, using it consistently helped my skin look less dull. If you deal with little body blemishes or just want that smoother look, this step is the one that made the fastest visible difference for me.

2) The Whipped Butt Butter (after shower, leave on)

Texture + finish: Whipped, rich, and cushiony. It melts in and leaves a soft glow. This is the product that gave me that “plump and smoother” look, especially when my skin was dry. It’s the kind of moisture that makes skin look more alive.

Scent: The fruity vibe is strong (in a good way if you like that). It lingered on my skin, which made my whole routine feel more put together.

How I used it: After showering, I applied it on slightly damp skin so it would spread easier and lock in hydration. If I used too much, it could feel a bit heavy at first, so I learned quickly that a little goes a long way.

What it helped with: Hydration was the biggest win. When my skin is hydrated, texture looks smoother—so it indirectly helped the look of unevenness and dimpling just by making everything look more “filled out.” I also liked it for summer when I wanted my skin to look glowy and cared for.

Açaí Your Boobies: The “Perky + Smooth” Body Care Moment

I know the name is playful, but I treated it like any other body skincare step: apply consistently, massage in, and see how my skin responds.

1) The Boob Butter

What I used it for: Hydration and smoothing. This area can get dry or look uneven depending on the season, and I wanted something that felt nourishing but still absorbed well.

How it felt: Rich and moisturizing, with that “spa body butter” vibe. It made my skin feel softer immediately, and with consistent use, the skin looked more even and healthy.

2) The Boob Serum

How I used it: I liked applying it right after the shower, then following with the butter. The massage step honestly matters—taking the time to apply consistently made the whole routine feel more intentional.

What I noticed: The biggest change for me was in how smooth my skin looked and felt. I also felt like consistent massage helped the area look a bit more lifted, but I’m keeping it real: that part can feel subtle and personal, and it’s easy to overthink. What I can confidently say is that the routine made my skin look more cared for and less dull.

The Shaving Routine That Changed My Mind

I used to be the person who shaved with whatever was in the shower—soap, shampoo, conditioner… you name it. It worked, but my skin would sometimes feel dry after, and I’d get irritation or that itchy feeling when hair started growing back.

Trying a dedicated shaving routine made a bigger difference than I expected, mostly because it layered slip + soothing + moisture.

Step 1: Whipped Shave Butter

Why I liked it: It’s creamy and gives a smooth glide, which helped me avoid that “dragging” feeling that can lead to irritation. My shave felt closer and gentler, and I didn’t need to use a lot.

Skin feel after: Softer immediately. Less of that tight, dry feeling that I used to accept as normal.

Step 2: After Shave Serum

What stood out: This step made my skin feel calm and hydrated. It helped reduce the uncomfortable dryness and made the regrowth phase feel less itchy for me.

Real-life note: The only annoying part was the dropper not always picking up product easily. The formula itself felt soothing; the packaging just wasn’t my favorite.

Step 3: After Shave Moisturizer

Texture warning (but not a dealbreaker): It’s thicker and can feel a bit oily at first, so it takes a little effort to distribute evenly. Once I used firmer strokes and took my time, the finish looked super smooth and “glazed,” like my legs had that polished shine.

When I’d use it: Best when I want that extra soft, glowy look—especially if I’m wearing shorts or just want my skin to look more hydrated and even.

The Clean + Cruelty-Free Piece (and why it matters to me)

I also appreciate that the products I tried were positioned as vegan and cruelty-free. For me, it’s not just about labels—it’s about feeling good using something regularly. Body care is a routine, so the overall brand values and the way the products perform together matters.

What Felt “Yay” vs What I’d Think Twice About

Big yays for me:

1) The exfoliation + butter pairing for smoother-looking, glowy skin. When I stayed consistent, my skin texture looked more refined and felt ridiculously soft.

2) The shaving routine for reducing dryness and that itchy regrowth feeling. The “glazed legs” effect is real if you like a dewy finish.

Things I’d think about first:

1) If you hate strong scents, you might find some options too sweet or too intense. I personally loved the fruity and vanilla-coconut profiles, but scent is so personal.

2) If you prefer pump packaging, jars can be a little inconvenient in the shower (especially with wet hands). I ended up being careful and using a small scoop when I wanted to keep it neat.

How I’d Build a Simple Routine (without doing the most)

For smoother body skin: Use the exfoliating polish in the shower a few times a week, then apply the whipped butter after showering while skin is still slightly damp.

For shaving days: Shave butter in the shower, then serum right after, then moisturizer to seal it all in. That’s the combo that made my skin feel the most comfortable and look the most glowy.

My Question for You

If you’ve tried anything from Truly, what was your “holy grail” product—and what was a total miss? I’m always curious because body care is so personal, and the same product can feel completely different depending on skin type, scent preference, and how you use it.
