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. It has a smooth texture that my skin absorbs quickly. However, I do feel a light film/finish on my skin. It does contain...

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...

I was really excited to try this Bakuchiol Dual-Retinol Alternative Serum, as my skin can sometimes react sensitively to traditional retinol. After using it consistently, I noticed that my skin feels smoother, more even, and looks brighter overall. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and layers well under moisturizer. Before, I struggled with occasional breakouts and dullness, but this serum helped calm my skin while also improving radiance and giving it a healthier look without irritation. I really appreciate that it's formulated with Bakuchiol a gentle, plant-based alternative to retinol because it gives me the benefits of retinol-like renewal but in a more soothing way. Overall, I'm very happy with the results so far and I can definitely see myself continuing with this product. Gifted by Herbivore

Absolutely love this. Definitely a game changer for my weekly skincare routine. I love a retinol and this will be the one I will now be using. It leaves me with a glow and I even shared it with my boyfriend and he loves it! Gifted by herbivorebotanicals

Gifted by Herbivore I've been using the Herbivore Bakuchiol Dual Retinol Alternative Serum for a while, and I really like it. It feels light on the skin and soaks in quickly without being sticky. My skin looks a bit smoother and brighter, and I've noticed my fine lines are less visible. The best part is that it doesn't irritate my skin the way regular retinol sometimes does no dryness or redness. It just feels gentle and hydrating, almost like a mix between a serum and moisturizer. I think it's a great option if you want the benefits of retinol but have sensitive skin.

complimentary from herbivore botanicals This serum is so refreshing. First, it's got a great scent to it. And then second it feels so good going on the skin, it's almost got like a cooling technique, I have a lot of red. And this in my face, and this actually seemed to have toned it down a lot, and the more I used it, the better my skin seemed to be, I loved at it. Acts as a tightener, a poor tightener, fine lines and my other skin problems seem to be disappearing. Just after a few uses, but the fact that it doesn't even have retinol, but it acts like a retinol, is even so better. Than I can imagine and I love how it absorbs into the scam. Leaves my skin super glowy, and just Takes my inner shine and pushes it through without dulling. My skin, it looks more radiant, moisturized, healthy. It's a powerhouse.
