- Bakuchiol is gentler and generally produces slower, subtler results. It suits people who cannot tolerate retinol, but expect gradual improvement rather than fast wrinkle reduction.
- Can I use it with other actives?
- It layers well with most routines, including vitamin C and niacinamide. Introduce it gradually if your skin is reactive, and always follow with sunscreen.
- Is it safe for sensitive skin?
- The formula is fragrance-free, silicone-free and paraben-free, and reviewers with sensitive skin report little irritation. Patch test first if you react easily.
- How often should I apply it?
- Most users apply it once daily, morning or night. Start every other day if your skin is new to anti-aging serums.
