Purple magic!
I have been using this BAKUCHIOL Dual-Retinol Alternative Serum gifted by Herbivore Botanicals. It comes in a beautiful lavender colored bottle. The serum is also purple/lavender.

Beautifully packaged
I was very excited to try this serum especially since it's so beautifully packaged and the purple serum itself feels luxurious. My concern was to maintain skin, brightness and firmness, and keeping the fine lines under control. I replaced my old serum with this one for over one week and I am saddene...

Smooth and Balanced skin

I have tricky skin that's dry in some areas but oily in others, and the Herbivore Bakuchiol Dual-Retinol Alternative Serum has really helped balance it out. The bakuchiol + bakuchiol ester give me all the smoothing, retinol-like benefits without irritation or dryness. Glycerin and tremella mushroom extract keep my dry patches soft and hydrated, while never making my oily T-zone greasy. I've also noticed firmer, more even skin thanks to ginseng and Chios mastic resin, and the turmeric root extract has really helped calm redness and brighten my tone. My skin feels smoother, looks more even, and finally feels balanced, hydrated where it needs to be and less shiny where it tends to get oily. Gifted by HerbivoreBotanicals.

5 stars all around for this product Gifted by herbivorebotanicals . I love the texture, formula and packaging of this product. I really love pump tops so I can control how much I use. This is a great product that doesn't break me out and is light enough on my skin while still being effective and it smells good !
Great for sensitive skin!

Amazing retinol alternative in beautiful packaging. I have sensitive skin, and find retinol to be too strong, but this hasn't irritated me so far. Love the bottle too! This was gifted by Herbivore Botanicals.

I have been using this BAKUCHIOL Dual-Retinol Alternative Serum gifted by Herbivore Botanicals. It comes in a beautiful lavender colored bottle. The serum is also purple/lavender. It has a smooth texture that my skin absorbs quickly. However, I do feel a light film/finish on my skin. It does contains bakuchiol. It has a very light fragrance that's nice. I applied a couple of pumps after my cleanser and before my moisturizer. I love that I can use this product every day and it is not harsh on my skin as it's is great for all skin types, which I love because Retinol products sometimes make my eyes, red or swollen if it is too strong. I love that this is a retinol alternative. My skin still gets the same benefits that retinol gives because uses they use a special formula that acts as a retinol. K beauty products tend to work better for my skin type. I've never experienced any irritation using K beauty products like I do other products. I really like this product because it gives me visible results after one use great results after long-term use. My skin is plumper and my fine lines are less noticeable. It is a watery/milky gel like texture that I really love.
