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 ...

Thanks to Herbivore for gifting me this body serum to try out! The packaging is a luxe glass bottle, definitely nice enough to display on your vanity or countertop. It's branded as a "body serum" and that's a perfect way to describe it. The texture is like a lightweight body lotion; it's not thick or creamy at all. Although it's thin, it leaves your skin very smooth and moisturized without any greasiness. I noticed my skin staying smooth for longer periods of time as I used it over several days, which I attribute to the retinol alternative (Bakuchiol) in the formula. If the idea of using a retinoid on your body skin is intimidating, definitely give this a try! The only negative for me is that I don't love the scent. It's described as "botanicals and green woods," but the raspberry notes were really unpleasant to my nose. The fragrance does linger, which some people love, but I personally don't.

I'm a fan of this simple product. The packaging is pretty minimal, no hype, barely any over-the-top claims, and not a ton of instructions. But it's retinol, and in my opinion, it's made a difference. I've noticed fewer blackheads on my chest, and maybe even a wrinkle or two looks softer (we'll take it 😅). My skin also looks plumper. It moisturizes without feeling heavy or suffocating. Oh and it smells nice

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I used this body serum on my hands and feet. I like how soft and moisturized my feet feel. But on my hands it felt like there was a film left on them that I didn't like. I would recommend this body serum to anyone who wants a retinol alternative.

I didn't know I needed a body serum until I tried this one. The Herbivore Bakuchiol Retinol Body Serum is lightweight, sinks in fast, and doesn't leave me feeling sticky or greasy. I love that it uses bakuchiol instead of retinol, so my skin feels smoother without any irritation. I have sensitive skin and this is extremely gentle.
