Pleasantly surprised by its hydration level
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 ...

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

I really like this bakuchiol body serum. It feels light, sinks in fast, and doesn't leave my skin sticky. After using it for a while, my skin looks smoother and more even, but without the dryness I usually get from retinol. It's gentle, easy to use, and makes my skin feel soft and healthy. Definitely a solid swap if regular retinol is too harsh for you.

Loving this serum. It's lightweight and sinks into my skin pretty quickly and doesn't leave me with a sticky feeling on my skin. The scent is pretty minimal so if you are sensitive to scents, I don't think this would bother you at all. After using for a few weeks I can say that my skin definitely feels more hydrated and doesn't look as dry as it did prior to using.
Interesting new product for me

Thanks Herbivore for the free BAKUCHIOL Retinol Alternative Body Serum! This was my first time trying a body serum of any kind. I liked the packaging and the scent as well as the idea of a retinol alternative for my skin. I have used this for 2 weeks on my neck and chest and haven't noticed any age related improvements, but I wouldn't expect to in this timeframe. It is a nice step before body lotion after my evening showers. I like the product enough to finish the bottle I have, but I'm not sure I would buy more, especially since they don't disclose the bakuchiol percentage like retinol products do.
Nice lightweight feel

(I was provided with a sample of this product in exchange for my honest review) I really like the lightweight feel of this serum. It absorbs quickly into the skin, and has a nice subtle fragrance, I would definitely recommend this product.
