Introducing Herbivore's Bakuchiol Serum, a powerful brightening, smoothing and line-lessening formula with a natural light purple hue that looks mesmerising on your shelf. Derived from the babchi plant, bakuchiol is a 100% natural ingredient that is as powerful as it is skin-friendly; similar to retinol in its abundance of perfecting qualities yet without any accompanying irritation, bakuchiol is coming for retinol’s crown. But don't just take our word for it – the results speak for themselves! In a blind test of twice-daily use on 106 women over the space of two weeks, 87.7% agreed their skin felt smoother, 82.0% agreed their skin looked more radiant, 80.2% agreed that overall skin appearance improved and 71.7% agreed that skin looked retexturised and more even.
Make way for Herbivore’s Bakuchiol Serum – a silky-smooth, gel-textured, water-based formula that absorbs quickly to brighten, even texture, reduce the appearance of lines and soothe dryness.
Giving a wealth of smoothing, brightening and fine line-reducing benefits, the serum contains bakuchiol, a natural ingredient derived from the babchi plant that's also known as psoralea corylifolia seed extract. Scientifically proven to be just as effective as retinol in its ability to lessen hyperpigmentation and fine lines, bakuchiol does it all without the redness-inducing irritation and peeling skin that is common with retinol use. A 1% polyhydroxy acid blend even exfoliates the surface of your skin to gently even texture and minimise fine lines while boosting serum absorption and hydrating. Empowered by tremella mushroom (also known as snow mushroom) extract, this serum then infuses skin with deep hydration and encourages moisture retention to give plump and radiant looking skin. Rich in antioxidants, blueberry stem cells strengthen your skin and protect against environmental aggressors that contribute to premature signs of ageing. Best of all, this natural and vegan serum is suitable for all skin types – even the most sensitive – but don't just take our word for it! In a blind test where 106 women used this elixir twice-daily for four weeks, 91% agreed it didn't cause irritation and 85% agreed that skin looked smoother and less dull.

didn't see much difference
Maybe too gentle for my skin as I used the whole bottle and didn't really notice any difference.

Retinol alternative
Bought this when pregnant to use as an alternative to retinol and it worked wonders. Left my skin smooth and looking refreshed and helped keep it in good condition throughout my pregnancy.

Love it!
Have tried different retinols, and always get surface dryness, but this bakuchiol is perfect. No dryness, just smooth, clear skin. It has helped me restore my face to it's younger days. Have repurchased and will continue to do so!

I like it
I like this product because it really hydrates my mature skin. I apply this serum at night and in the morning I feel my skin is smooth and hydrated.

Nothing special
It spreads nicely. But I don't know any noticeable result, such as anti-aging or pigmentation. I think Sunday Riley Luna oil is better than this one.

Doesn't do anything
After using this for a few weeks I can confirm that I haven't noticed any difference. What a shame because I liked some of their other products! Don't waste your money. It looks nice but doesn't do anything for your skin.

Beautiful serum
A lovely serum that sinks in really nicely and has really helped to clear my skin of all the breakouts I get. Keeps my skin hydrated and non greasy. Has really helped to keep the oils at bay and my hyperpigmentation is severely reduced. Expensive but honestly worth it

My Desert Island Product! Just Perfect
Ok so I'm a product junkie by necessity. My skin is really difficult: craves hydration but is really sensitive and folliculitis prone, so most products end up doing more harm than good (tried hundreds). Now THIS serum was a game changer! First, it really does hydrate: when I first applied it I didn't think it would since it's very lightweight but a couple of days later and my skin is in great condition, hydrated and plumped. The other effect was very unexpected: day 2 I woke up and the pores in my nose were open and with a lot of gunk in them that I never knew was there! There was no inflammation or anything, the gunk was very loose and It all came out when cleansing with silicone brush. Ever since then my pores have been virtually INVISIBLE, the skin is incredibly smooth and refined. Will repurchase this forever! Please just don't change the formula, this one is perfect with no ingredients that can make you break out or trigger my folliculitis. Also very gentle on sensitive skin (so results will probably take a little longer to be visible but not too long, trust me, you'll be a fan in about a week).
