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 ...

This lightweight serum is perfect to add to your end of shower routine to lock in moisture and keep your body feeling nice and hydrated. I enjoy the scent that it gives off too, a light floral scent but not very overpowering. A little of this product seems to go a long way too. I've used this product for two straight weeks every day and I feel like I've barely used a quarter of product which is really nice. I like that it comes in a glass bottle too and the pump is easy to use. [ I received a free sample from BzzAgent for my personal review ]

I was so excited to try this product and I am so happy I had the chance it did not disappoint. My skin feels glowy and less saggy just within the first week , it does go on feeling a little sticky but it blends in well and I have visible results in a short amount of time and I can't wait to see what continued use brings. I highly recommend this serum to anyone with mature skin it is well worth it.
would 100% buy again!

This product is a nice light "serum" for body with a pleasant scent. I used it under a thicker moisturizer during this recent winter and was satisfied by its humectant properties. While there isn't enough data for my liking on bakuchiol as a retinol/retinoid alternative, I didn't find it to produce any irritation when I used it.
Great!

I've really enjoyed using the Herbivore Botanicals Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Body Serum because it feels like an easy, low-effort way to keep my skin smooth and hydrated without any irritation. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, so it doesn't feel sticky or heavy, and I love the subtle botanical scent. It makes applying it feel like a small self-care ritual. With regular use, my skin feels noticeably softer and more even, especially on areas that tend to get dry or rough. I appreciate that it gives me gentle, consistent results without the sensitivity I usually associate with retinol, making it something I'm happy to use daily.
