FAQs

What does the BAKUCHIOL Body Serum do?

It is a rejuvenating daily body treatment that helps hydrate and visibly smooth skin. Bakuchiol, rosehip oil and vitamin E work to soften and smooth the look of skin from the neck down.

What is the texture like?

It is a lightweight, milky body serum rather than an oil or cream. It absorbs quickly and layers easily under body lotion or body oil.

Where on my body should I use it?

It is made for use from the neck down: on arms, legs, and decolletage or anywhere that you are have concerns of crepiness or skin laxity.

How do I use it?

Apply to clean, dry skin in the evening and massage until absorbed. Follow with a body lotion or body oil to seal in moisture if you want extra richness, and use daily.

Is bakuchiol suitable for sensitive skin?

Bakuchiol is a plant-based retinol alternative that is gentler than traditional retinol, and this formula is suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin.

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 been looking for a product like this for a while. I use retinol on my face and hands but love that I can now use it on my whole body. It had a nice light rose scent. As someone who doesn't love floral or rose scent it did not stop me from using the product. I can't wait to see long term results and continue to buy in the future. I received a complimentary sample in exchange for my honest review.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

"I apply it to clean skin on my body and gently massage it in." Things I love: "It feels soft, smooth, and hydrated." also absorbs without feeling greasy. Not so great things: " it's pricey for the amount you get. However you have to pay to slay 😉

I used BAKUCHIOL Retinol Alternative Body Serum, every night after showering. My skin was dull and dry and after using Bakuchiol, I feel that my skin has improved significantly, it feels more soft and radiant. It makes me feel like I'm being pampered in a luxury spa, the serum is soft and silky and it seems to be absorbed fast by the skin. It doesn't leave your skin greasy or heavy so you don't need to worry about your clothes, I like the scent makes me feel relaxed. I can see that the scent may not be for everyone but for me it works fine, smells very fresh almost like natural green leaf, forest.

This serum is a game changer! I have terribly dry skin but after adding this under my moisturizer, it makes such a huge difference in how soft my skin is, and how much more hydrated it is. Only thing is due to it being a thin consistency, im going to be using a lot more of it. I received this product for free in exchange for writing a review.
