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 ...

I have added this Body Serum to my after shower skincare routine and I love it. I live in Wyoming so it is very dry and anything that helps with dry skin and doesn't have a sticky residue after application wins in my book. I wish the smell was a little stronger other all I smell is cedarwood and its very slight. The scent is absolutely not a deal breaker for me, I am just big on fragrances. I am excited to see the improvement after more consistent use. My only issue is the price tag. If I am going to pay that much for an all over body serum that works I would prefer to get more than 5.4 oz.
Perfect retinol alternative

The bakuchiol body serum from Herbivore is such a good alternative for retinol. I have some small acne bumps on my back and using this serum regularly has helped me to clear these up over time. It doesn't have a scent and applies beautifully and my skin absorbs it very well. If you're looking for a retinol alternative absolutely go for this.
A spa day in a bottle

After trying the Herbivore BAKUCHIOL Retinol Alternative Body Serum, I can honestly say it's like a spa day in a bottle that completely avoids the usual "retinol drama" of peeling and redness. Compared to other traditional retinoid products I've used, this serum is a total gentle giant—it sinks in instantly with a dreamy botanical scent and gives me the smoothing, firming results I want without any of the harsh irritation or sun sensitivity. Owning this product has transformed my nighttime ritual because it's a low-effort way to treat crepiness and rough patches while deeply hydrating with rosehip oil and squalane, all while staying vegan and cruelty-free. I would absolutely buy this again because the luxury experience and the visible improvement in my skin's texture make it worth every penny, and I'd recommend it in a heartbeat to any of my friends or family, especially those with sensitive skin who are looking for a high-reward, "safe bet" addition to their body care routine.
Great find!

This product is very watery yet it applied smooth and not patchy. I have noticed my skin being extra supple and soft to the touch. I would love for the smell to be better but I just put on some body splash and go about my day.
Wonderful product

I was so happy to get my free sample of Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Body Serum when I did. Winter in Colorado is hard on my skin and leaves it so dry. I am also recovering from having a broken wrist. After my splint came off, the skin on my arm was super dry and flaky. Using this serum has helped keep everything moisturized and stopped the dryness and flaking. It is not greasy and has a very mild and pleasant scent. I really like it and would recommend it to anyone suffering from super dry skin. I also don't have to use that much each time so it should last for a while. Overall I am very pleased with this product.
