Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Face Serum | Smooths Skin, Improves Texture & Elasticity, Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles | Plant-based, Vegan, Cruelty-free, 30mL / 1 oz

I’ve been using the HERBIVORE Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Face Serum for just a few days, and I can already tell a difference. My skin is sensitive and often reacts to traditional retinol, but this serum delivers anti-aging benefits without irritation. It leaves my skin feeling smoother, firmer, and more elastic. Fine lines look softer, and my overall texture feels more even. I love that it’s plant-based, vegan, and cruelty-free, so I feel good using it daily. The lightweight serum absorbs quickly, layers well under moisturizer or makeup, and a little goes a long way. This is a gentle, effective retinol alternative that truly improves skin texture and elasticity!

I’ve been using this for almost five years now. When I first started using it the results were amazing… my grown kids even would comment on how my skin looked so much better without makeup up. Definitely evens out tone and brown spots. I have sensitive skin and retinol makes my skin peel so I can’t use it. I have no issues with this product at all and it’s been 5 years…. I put it on every night after I wash my face even around my eyes. Feelslight (almost like water - it’s clear) and not greasy at all. Only thing I wish they would go back to the eye dropper they used to have, I don’t like the pump as much but it’s the same great product. Highly recommend!!

I like this product for my face. I usually use it at night after washing my face before I go to sleep. It has really helped with my skin tone and is easy to apply on my face. I prefer bakuchiol over retinol because it's less rough on my skin. I believe this serum is great value for my money.

I can’t tell much of a noticeable difference but maybe it’s doing something? Went through N entire bottle and now trying a different brand. I still have some melasma and dark spots, although maybe a tad lighter- but also use vitamin c serum so that may be what’s helping? Texture is fine easy to dispense.

A drop or two will cover, lasts a long time. Moisturizing, lightweight, works on wrinkles.

I’ve loved this for years! Been too scared to try a retinol because I have sensitive skin, but this is a great alternative.

Plant based or non retinol fan, this is perfect. It is a bit thin, but sticky. I have noticed and difference, especially right after my night routine. Faint scent, nothing too radical.

I was a former tretinoin user for several years and it really did make my skin smooth and blemish-free, but I had to stop using it when I got pregnant with my third child. After he was born I wanted to get my smooth skin back so I decided to give this a try to see if it really was an alternative to retinol. I started using this about 2 weeks ago and in the last 4ish days I’ve noticed my skin is so smooth and soft, very similar to how it felt when I was using a retinoid, without the irritation. I have noticed a couple of very minor breakouts at the same time my skin became noticeably softer and smoother so maybe there is a slight purge period? Either way I’m going to continue using this. It’s amazing!

Strongly clogs the pores!
