The fragrance was mild and nice, nothing heavy or floral which triggers my migraines. I was really hoping to see more benefit from this. I have some ingrown hairs and scarring on my legs, which are fair with a pink undertone. However, I didn't see much benefit in that regard. I used two pumps for each lower leg. Maybe it just takes more time to actually make a difference. I know with standard retinols and retinoids it may take a full 30 days of daily application.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

What I love: -The glass container: it's sleek and gives a clean appearance on my vanity. (I also had it in my bathroom for the first week to use right after my nightly shower.) -Bottle Pump: it's an important feature for a product like this, to be able to control the amount dispensed. Plus, it's far more convenient than having to squeeze out product. -Large product size: The size of this body serum gives it extra points- I absolutely love it when a products price point matches the products size- It's a good VALUE. -The scent is very pleasant and Light. I appreciate that it's actually naturally fragranced and not just advertised claims. The scent notes that stood out the most to me were raspberry, cedar wood & black currant (although very faint- almost undetectable. if you're sensitive to strong fragrance- you'll love this!) I can't say this has improved my skins elasticity since I've only been using it for about 2 weeks- I believe with a product like this you have to be consistent and use it for a few months to give it a real chance in order to see the results it claims to deliver. At 1st its consistency was a little too watery for my liking. BUT- I grew to love it because of how effortlessly quick my skin absorbed it! It was like a tall glass of water for my parched skin. I live in a dry climate so this was a nice winter treat. I only have one kind of "negative"reaction, & that's how strong the pump squirts out the product. Causing it to land on random places and causing a bit of a waste if you're not quick enough to catch it lol it may just be me- but I think it's because of how watery the product dispenses that it squirts out at 99 mph. Overall, my skin absolutely adored the squalene & mastic tree resin! The ingredient list is simple & vegan friendly for those who seek out vegan & sensitive skin friendly products. I loved the "science background" they incorporated on why you should apply it at night. I think that's important & useful for the consumer.

Bakuchiol surprised me. After using for two weeks my skin seemed to seem a lot tighter. I'm 49 and getting "old lady" skin. I'm used it on my arms and stomach. I could see a noticeable difference. It comes in a nice glass, pump bottle and I like that about it. I was skeptical because it's a thinner serum than I am used too. I would definitely use again and liked the fact that it was plant based. That is important to me.

I've been using the Bakuchiol body serum for three weeks and have been enjoying it thoroughly. I received this item as a sample in exchange for my honest review. It smells fantastic and it is super lightweight, so it feels like a little goes a long way. I use it on my entire body and highly recommend using a lotion/moisturizer after this product to experience the full benefits. My skin tone looks more even, I've noticed fewer shaving related blemishes, and visable firming benefits. It's my first time using a premositurizer full body serum, but I would love to make this a part of my regular routine. I'm giving it minus one star though because of the cost. At ~$60 for 5.4oz, the rate I'm using it at means it would be gone in about a month which is too expensive for my budget. I do really like this product though, and wouldn't hesitate to buy it if I could afford incorporating this into my regular routine.

Writing this review after ~3 weeks of use. Been using it on my full body after every shower before lotion. Have used about 75% of the bottle at this point.

Perfect Texture

For us texture sensitive girlies, this serum is definitely a win! I absolutely love the way this product feels on my skin, it is so lightweight, yet absorbent and moisturizing. I can really feel it penetrating my skin cells. You have to let it sit for a few minutes after application, but after that, you hardly notice its presence on your skin. In my opinion, the Bakuchiol serum has a less appealing fragrance than I would prefer, it's very mild, but the earthy undertone is not something I would have picked for myself. I adore the purple color of the packaging, it really makes the product stand out on my shelf. You also get a whole lot of product for the price, which is always the best. I definitely recommend this as a body serum to anyone interested in smoothing out any imperfections
