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 was hopeful after seeing I'd be receiving this serum, as it was a product made by Herbivore. I do enjoy their products. I can tell a difference in my skin after using it......Now I'm not sure what made me do this, but my hubby had some areas on his back that were rough from some small keratin or calcium deposites. So, I decided to use some of my body serum there. I couldn't believe that it minimized them!! It made them smoother, as they had been somewhat raised up and scratchy feeling. Ladies, I've come to realize that some of our skin care products aren't just for us.....This just proved it to me. I'm definitly buying more and I highly recommend this to EVERYONE!!!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

This was sent to me to use and review. Initially I didn't think the moisturizer would do much. It's very liquidy and I'm used to thick body lotions. I could not have been more wrong. I've been using this for weeks after showering. My skin feels amazing. No joke the bumps on my upper arms are gone. It doesnt feel greasy or leave any kind stickiness. I love it and will be buying more.

The Herbivore Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Body Serum claims to be a body treatment that is effective for everyday use and highlights the ingredient Bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative product. Other ingredients highlighted in this formula contain vitamin E and rosehip oil, all working to moisturize and smooth the skin. The Herbivore BAKUCHIOL Retinol Alternative Body Serum is touted to be an integral part of a restorative self-care ritual, with the natural scent of Blackcurrant, Raspberry, Green Leaf and Cedarwood. I definitely feel that this product aligns well with the self-care ritual because the packaging is luxurious in a glass pump dispensing bottle. The scent is very faint and light to me, almost non-existent and does not smell any different than a lotion-like formula. For those who may be weary of the fragrance, fear not. I do not think that this formula will bother even the most sensitive nose. Compared to other similar body serums that I have tried, the Herbivore BAKUCHIOL Retinol Alternative Body Serum does a great job at moisturizing the skin, especially after a fresh shower. The formula glides on like a light body lotion and absorbs quickly, leaving no trace of stickiness anywhere. Over the course of using the product a little more than 2 weeks, I have noticed that the skin is brighter and smoother. Longer product use will be necessary to see if there are any more impactful benefits such as tightening of the skin. Compared to other products I have tried, the formula is such a joy to use and such a treat for my skin and self-care ritual. I really love to use this all over the body, including my hands. In the morning, skin feels soft and supple. I would definitely repurchase this product and will recommend this to friends and family. I would also explore the product if it is offered in other fragrant varieties, and it would be wonderful if this product also comes in a refillable product pouch.

This serum has helped transform my skin immensely. It has helped my acne and dark spots from scarring, and has helped reduce cellulite appearance.
