Age Support Bakuchiol Serum

We want our customers to understand that face oils containing highly active ingredients, like bakuchiol, are serums too.

In fact, oil serums often deliver active ingredients into the skin better than traditional, water-based serums. This is because oils don't require a lot of filler ingredients, like xanthan gum. Oils also penetrate the epidermis easier.

Bakuchiol oil is no exception!

Whatever your reason for choosing a retinol alternative -- sensitive skin, ingredient preference, irritation, pregnancy -- bakuchiol serums are effective when compared to retinol, for both age-related and acne-related skin changes.

What makes bakuchiol better is the fact that tolerating prescription retinoids is impossible for so many people!

The reason you're shopping for a bakuchiol serum is because you want a natural retinol alternative - and this is definitely it!

Absolutely. We recommend twice a day, but you'll still see real results with less frequent use.

The best thing about bakuchiol is that it is so much better for sensitive skin types than retinol.

No. Purging is  caused by retinol and other chemical exfoliants during initial use as the skin cells adjust to increased cell turnover.

Bakuchiol isn’t a chemical exfoliant, that’s likely one reason it is so much more tolerable than retinol.

The mechanism by which bakuchiol works is thought to be on genes in the skin responsible for things like pigmentation and collagen. 

Probably.

Both skin conditions mean using retinol is not possible. If things are under good control and you want to try a retinol alternative, cautiously introducing active ingredients, like bakuchiol, is ok. 

In general, bakuchiol is safe for sensitive skin, however everyone is different. There is actually even some thought that bakuchiol could be helpful for people with rosacea, but be cautious if you find a brand claiming that to be true because the research doesn't exist yet to make that call. 

Bottom line: discuss with your dermatologist, patch test properly, and back off if any signs of flare-up.

Yes.

Although bakuchiol is a retinol alternative, some people use them together. In fact, bakuchiol hasn't been found to be incompatible with any other ingredients - turmeric, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, collagen peptides, etc.

Layer away!

Yes. We source this ingredient through Sytheon® to ensure purity. We don't use babchi seed carrier oil, Psoralea corylifolia leaf extract, or bark extract.

Bakuchiol produced in this manner is >99% pure but still a natural, plant-based, vegan ingredient.

It starts with our CoreComplex™ Age Support oil blend - a proprietary mixture of carrier oils designed to target smoother skin, moisturization, fine lines and wrinkles.

We don't stop there.

Elevating a simple face oil into a powerful oil serum requires active ingredients that are proven by science. That's how our oil serums distinguish themselves.

This product is designed to be a retinol substitute for people with skin sensitivity or those who prefer natural ingredients.

Plus, our products are all vegan, cruelty-free, and we give back a significant amount of our profits to fund environmental initiatives.
