There are plenty of skincare products that provide a tightening effect and plenty of firming bodycare products that offer similar results but U-Beauty's new product stands out for its focus on the arms. When U-Beauty founder Tina Craig started the brand, she said she was interested in creating "invisible shapewear for [her] arms" and after a few years of testing, the product is finally ready to get into the hands of consumers.
The newly launched The SCULPT Arm Compound is formulated to visibly tighten the skin on the arms using a combination of peptides, plankton and probiotics, as well as the retinol-rich SIREN Capsule for its firming, smoothing and brightening qualities. The hydrating, non-sticky serum is rich and touted as a "revolutionary concentrate."
