Frequently Asked Questions
What is bakuchiol and why is it better than retinol?
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived compound extracted from the babchi plant. It delivers similar anti-aging results to retinol — reducing fine lines, improving firmness, and evening skin tone — but without the irritation, redness, or sun sensitivity that retinol can cause. It's ideal for sensitive skin and safe to use morning or night.
Can I use this serum if I have sensitive skin?
Yes! This serum is specifically formulated to be gentle on sensitive skin. The combination of bakuchiol, chamomile extract, and squalane soothes and protects while delivering results. Unlike traditional retinol, it's designed to minimise peeling and irritation.
Is this serum safe to use during pregnancy?
Bakuchiol is generally considered a pregnancy-safe alternative to retinol. However, this serum also contains retinyl palmitate (a form of Vitamin A). We always recommend consulting your doctor or midwife before introducing new skincare during pregnancy.
How soon will I see results?
Most users notice improved hydration and a brighter complexion within 2–3 weeks. For visibly softer fine lines and firmer-looking skin, allow 6–8 weeks of consistent nightly use.
Can I use this with other serums or actives?
Yes. Bakuchiol plays well with most actives including Vitamin C, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid. Avoid layering with strong acids (like glycolic or salicylic) on the same night to prevent over-exfoliation.
Is this product vegan and cruelty-free?
Absolutely. This serum is 100% vegan and cruelty-free — no animal testing, no animal-derived ingredients. Just clean, effective skincare.
How do I use this serum?
Apply 3–4 drops to clean, dry skin each evening. Press gently into face and neck. Seal in hydration with your nightly moisturiser. For best results, use consistently as part of your evening skincare routine.
